Which of the following best describes the concept of 'brandishing' in Michigan law?

Carrying a concealed weapon in public
Waving or displaying a weapon in a threatening manner
The lawful open carrying of a pistol
Using a firearm to defend your home

The correct answer is: Waving or displaying a weapon in a threatening manner

Brandishing in Michigan law refers specifically to the act of waving or displaying a weapon in a threatening manner. This goes beyond the lawful open carrying of a pistol (choice C) and the use of a firearm for self-defense in your home (choice D). Additionally, carrying a concealed weapon in public (choice A) does not constitute brandishing, as it implies the weapon is not being openly displayed or threatened to be used. Thus, choice B is the best description of brandishing in Michigan law.
