It's not brandishing when you live in an open carry state with open carry laws.     there's concealed carry, then there's open carry. open carry does not mean a weapon must be holstered.....ESPECIALLY when it comes to long barrel guns like shotguns and rifles.     if they had pistols out, then you'd have an argumemt, because they'd have no reason not to holster them.......but a rifle and shotgun? unless you're carrying it on your back, which is neither considered holstered and can actually more dangerous than holding in your hands pointing toward the ground.       here's an image from an open carry event:      http://truthaboutguns.zippykid.netdn...-Chronicle.jpg    that's exactly how cobb and dutton were handling their weapons. i.e. LEGALLY.    apparently, they're all brandishing according to your inaccurate interpretation of the law.    I know some of you people like to fancy yourselves as rustic mountain men.....but I actually lived it.
