I got onto a discussion with a buddy of mine about this, and though its more of a Legal Beagle type question, I feel more confident asking it here because there's a lot more idiots on TOS, and we seem to have a better overall grip of the law in general over here for obvious reasons.
About a year ago or so, my fiance and I were going into a drug store and a group of men were loitering outside and giving her the 'googlie eyes'. We got what we needed, then walked out, in which they began to proceed to follow us to my car. I pulled my spare magazine and faced them and promptly informed them I had 27 reasons to stop following us (I carry a Glock 23 and an extra mag, so thus 27 rounds). Needless to say, they promptly changed their minds, and I turned around after following us across the entire parking lot. They went back to loitering outside the store as we got into the car and took off.
A friend of mine who has his "CCW" (if you get my drift here...) claims what I did was illegal, and that I was brandishing. I call total BS and think I handled the situation well considering. No one was harmed, and I definately made it clear that I had a firearm and that they should think twice. (Yes, I know, OCing would have prevented this whole thing lol)
So what do you guys think? I fail to see illegal activity, what about you?
