    showing you’re armed as intimidation, they’re as good as any other.

    IANAL BIPONTV

    The circumstances of your concealed firearm not being concealed have to amount to “Imminent threat of great bodily harm or loss of life”.

    Revealing you have a gun, placing your hand on where it is, even “printing” as in it being visible under your clothing, has been considered Brandishing, sometimes a felony and likely a “gun crime”.

    Specifically, trying to intimidate is very much illegal, so certianly don’t put it like that, lol.

    Circumstances may get you out of jail, maybe even with your rights intact, but even showing your gun after being chased with a bat has been ruled aggrivated assault.

      As everyone’s fave TV lawyer, do you have the case this was pulled from?

      As for ‘intimidation’, yeah. I was (and still am) struggling to find the right word for ‘am dangerous and could cause everyone here grievous harm, but wont’.
