The concept of 'brandishing' a firearm in public is:

  1. Allowed for CPL holders

  2. Prohibited unless in self-defense

  3. Only legal during hunting season

  4. Acceptable if the firearm is unloaded

The correct answer is: Prohibited unless in self-defense

Brandishing a firearm in public refers to the act of displaying or showing a firearm in an aggressive or threatening manner. This is typically considered a crime as it can incite fear and chaos, and it may escalate the situation unnecessarily. Option A is incorrect because CPL (concealed pistol license) holders are not allowed to brandish their firearms in public, as it is still considered a threat. Option C is incorrect because brandishing a firearm is not determined by hunting season, but rather by intent and context. Option D is incorrect because even if the firearm is unloaded, brandishing it in public can still cause fear and chaos, and it is still considered a crime. Therefore, the only circumstance where brandishing a firearm in public is legally acceptable is in self-defense, making option B the correct answer.
