Any defense plan that involves the use of a weapon that DOESN'T involve actually firing it and making the threat to your life and property disappear is a shit plan. Ready your weapon out of sight (yes, this means you already need to have it loaded), position yourself in a tactically advantageous position, and make peace with the fact that no matter what you do, you're going to jail, so you might as well go to jail with the score in your favor.
Comment Approved: This is not really the kind of thing that that rule is referring to. He's not calling for violence.
And OC, to answer your question, kind of. You really need to check your own state's laws on brandishing. It absolutely could be brandishing. Then again, it could also not be brandishing, and you'll still get arrested and the cops could leave the mob at your house. So you want to be extra careful with that kinda shit.
Tfw there's a person out there who equates having a shotgun at the ready to defend one's home in the event of being charged/firebombed by rioters, to calling for violence.
Seems like a drastic oversight that this applies even in your own home. Is it really the legislators intention that you can't drink in your own home without forfeiting the means to defends yourself?
Home owners are undoubtedly thinking that if you are going to get arrested anyway for defending your home, why not leave a pile of bodies on your front lawn before hand, and make the arrest worth it?
Will the media report on this when it happens though? I can see that kind of display encouraging others to find their balls and start putting several rounds of lead into these mobs.
They would report it. But it would basically be framed as a spremacist going on a killing spree and it would become the new bludgeon to go after the guns.
Never mind that when real information of the success surfaces, you end up finding that either the shooter did what he did or he would end up like a south african farmer.
Will have to wait and see as to what BS they throw at him. It may have been an arrest with no plan to charge in some sort of effort to attempt to deescalate the situation. Still fails the sniff test on not being utter bullshit though. The mob was obviously the instigator here. Hope the cops get sued into the ground on this one.
Fuck Me. This was my exact plan if the mob showed up at my door. Is this really a case of illegal brandishing?

We'll have to see if he gets charged.
Update: according to a police statement, he was drunk while handling the gun. If true, it's likely he'll get charged for that. https://mobile.twitter.com/MilwaukeePolice/status/1306349626568642561/photo/1
