if you wear an IWB and you tuck your shirt in, and all you can see is the grip and back edge of the slide, isnt this brandishing??
I don't see it being brandishing.
Just because someone has an irrational fear of guns doesn't mean that the fear induced by seeing your gun is reasonable
snip................. my 1911, the grip at least tends to show sometimes when i wear my IWB. some call it printing, but i got to thinking, well whats the difference between printing and actually tucking your shirt in and just letting the grip show anyway.
SNIP Virginia's permit does not require that the handgun remain hidden/concealed; it only allows you to do so - your choice.
This.
While someone with this sort of irrational fear may try to argue, or complain to a police officer, that you were putting them in fear, if your actions are such that it is obvious you are doing nothing even approaching this, then their argument is moot.
Would not this fall under what a "reasonable person" would surmise from being in the company of an armed citizen?
in such a manner as to reasonably induce fear in the mind of another of being shot or injured.
knowing how liberals hate guns, i would say that yea, they would think that anyone who has a gun on them is out to shoot people.
reason i am asking this is because my 1911, the grip at least tends to show sometimes when i wear my IWB. some call it printing, but i got to thinking, well whats the difference between printing and actually tucking your shirt in and just letting the grip show anyway.
Reminds me of Arnold's answer to Jamie Lee's question in "True Lies":
"Did you ever kill anyone?"
"Yeah, but dhay were all baad."

If your firearm is IN A HOLSTER and you ain't fondling it, IT AIN'T BRANDISHING!!!!!!!!!!!!
You don't have to be touching the gun to brandish it.

She brandished a stick at the dog.
I could see that he was brandishing a knife.'
To brandish indicates that you must have something in hand. A holstered/sheathed weapon is not borne in an ostentatious or aggressive manner (such as slung at the ready).
