These officials, one of whom claimed to be an eyewitness, said that three Swedish emergency managers in the delegation were rattled when the gun's laser tracked across one of their heads before Hauer found the map of New York, at which he wanted to point.
Hilarious on so many levels ....

I supposed he was the only one professional enough in the room to have that weapon.

Hauer, commissioner of the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, was disabled by a stroke a few years ago and can be unsteady. He isn't a law enforcement official. He carries the loaded 9-millimeter Glock in a holster into state buildings, an apparent violation of state law barring state employees from bringing weapons to the workplace, several witnesses say.
"Unsteady" would seem to refer to more than physical coordination. Perhaps cognitive ability?
Thankfully he did not "point and click." :uhoh:

The Swedes got upset because he swept one of their heads. Man, I would have been jumping for cover from an idiot like that. And.......what was the dumma$$ doing in a prohibited space with a weapon, let alone "brandishing"?

Didn't you all get the memo? Gov. employees are above the law. I bet he gets promoted now!
Handgun used as laser pointer by state official reportedly rattles foreign delegates
"Jerome M. Hauer, Gov. Andrew Cuomo's director of homeland security, took out his handgun and used the laser sighting device attached to the barrel as a pointer in a presentation to a foreign delegation, according to public officials.
Swedish emergency managers in the delegation were rattled when the gun's laser tracked across one of their heads before Hauer found the map of New York.
Hauer was disabled by a stroke a few years ago and can be unsteady.

Question, aside from the fact that this guy is totally Stupid, does this act qualify as "Brandishing a Weapon" ?

Don't you know, laws only apply to the little people. Not the Kings men. 
You or I do this and we are in big trouble and face possible jail time. I doubt if any charges will be brought in this case. I am sure however this guy could have easily afforded a normal laser pointer.....
