In Michigan, what is considered 'brandishing' a firearm?

Carrying a concealed firearm
Wearing a firearm in an open holster
Pointing or waving a firearm in a threatening manner
Transporting a firearm in a vehicle

The correct answer is: Pointing or waving a firearm in a threatening manner

Brandishing a firearm in Michigan is defined as the act of pointing or waving a firearm in a threatening manner. This is different from carrying a concealed firearm (A) or wearing a firearm in an open holster (B), which are both legal ways to possess a firearm in the state. Transporting a firearm in a vehicle (D) is also legal as long as the firearm is unloaded and securely encased. However, brandishing a firearm (C) is considered a criminal act and could result in charges and penalties. It is important to know and follow the laws surrounding the possession and use of firearms in your state.
