Which of the following best describes 'brandishing' a weapon?

  1. Carrying concealed properly

  2. Firing a weapon in public

  3. Showing a weapon in a threatening manner

  4. Cleaning a weapon

The correct answer is: Showing a weapon in a threatening manner

Brandishing a weapon refers to displaying or exhibiting a weapon in a way that is threatening or aggressive. It is not the same as carrying a weapon, which can be done in a concealed manner and does not necessarily create a threatening situation. Firing a weapon in public is also not the same as brandishing, as it involves using the weapon and not just showing it. Cleaning a weapon is simply maintaining and taking care of it, and does not involve displaying it in a threatening manner. Therefore, the best description of brandishing a weapon is showing it in a threatening manner.
