Re: Humorous sign of the week

I have been unable to find the term "brandish", in any of its forms, in Texas code. PC Title 9, Chapter 42, Section 42.01(a)(1) and (2) refer to offensive language and gestures that tend "to incite an immediate breach of the peace." Applying this to a holstered handgun seems a stretch, especially when 42.01(a)(8) says "displays a firearm or other deadly weapon in a public place in a manner calculated to alarm;". Disorderly conduct can apply to both licensed and unlicensed carriers.

Texas PC 46.035 covers unlawful carry of a handgun by an LTC holder. Still no "brandishing".
