We’re just giving you a hard time. :)

I think it’s a bit different than if you were driving down the road and, say, in response to somebody cutting you off you show them your weapon. That would be brandishing.

Some places are even so anal as to charge one with brandishing if you accidentally expose your weapon. Like if you are carrying on your hip with a windbreaker and the coat rides up your back to expose your gun. I don’t agree with the brandishing charge in this case but there are some here who will say you should be tossed in klink for it.

Yeah, I believe that most peace officers wouldn’t go that far if you were doing everything else right.... CHL’s are good, legal people. They are certified so.. God bless Texas....
