What you described is vastly different than a brandishing charge. CA is a big place. Placer County, City of Roseville. I had to post the bail for the violater. I know trust me. Shitty deal, sounds so stupid until you cant shell out $50K to sue the fuck out of the police Dept. Where you live may be different obviously. In Roseville CA, like a lot of places in the USA, he who calls in the threat gets the last laugh. Original charge was assault with a deadly weapon, intent to blah blah blah. Reduced to brandishing. Weapon was never pointed at anyone, only threatened as such. If the Po Po get the call, gun pulled, they show up SWAT, amped, with cute black booties and throw people (white people) to the curb, cuffs, have a nice night, ask questions later. Shittty deal. Eye opener for the former Lil Uzi. I have met other Roseville LEO under different circumstances and they are entirely fair and professional. They get gizzy when they hear gun pulled. Dont try it is my advice unless you have to pull the trigger and finish, to save a life. And be ready to take at least a significant fraction of your life to straighten it out. "Hope that helps"
