What does the term 'brandishing' mean in the context of firearm law?

Discharging a firearm in a public area
Carrying a concealed pistol without a license
Waiving or displaying a firearm in a manner that intimidates others
Using a firearm in a self-defense situation

The correct answer is: Waiving or displaying a firearm in a manner that intimidates others

In the context of firearm law, the term 'brandishing' refers to waving or displaying a firearm in a manner that is intended to intimidate others. This behavior is considered dangerous and can lead to panic or escalation of a situation. It is important to avoid brandishing firearms as it can result in legal consequences. The other options are not correct because: - Discharging a firearm in a public area (Option A) is generally illegal and separate from the concept of brandishing. - Carrying a concealed pistol without a license (Option B) pertains to carrying a firearm illegally and is distinct from the act of brandishing. - Using a firearm in a self-defense situation (Option D) is a different scenario than brandishing, as self-defense involves using a firearm to protect oneself in a lawful manner.
