Lone, the word "brandishing" is used in the documentation that came with my concealed carry permit and was also used in the education course that we take.
The point I was making is if you take a war of words and even hint that you are going to escalate it with a weapon the cops WILL take it seriously. You can quickly change from the victim to the accused if the cop gets the wrong idea. The wrong person may end up handcuffed in the back of the car.
