    Pointing a gun at someone is a threat.

    What the video portrays is subtle intimidation, essentially offensive but legal free "speech" or expression.

    Ask him all about his intimidation at the Lloyd Center area about 2 or 3 decades ago. I'm sure he will tell you all about it.

    Ha! At long last, I found a place to disagree with you Brian.
    Take the gun out of the picture and give those turkeys a club and they are no more likeable. They are still menacing people about the elections. This is illegal activity in most states.

    You are correct in that you may choose not to be intimidated. However, the statute is not against being intimidated. The statute is prohibiting the attempt to intimidate with a creditable apparent threat.

    I've been educated on the fine line between open-carry and "brandishing".

    Never brandish. But it does not hurt to always appear to possible be if not probably armed.

    Im not ok with anyone from any side using intimidation ant the threat of violence to promote a candidate. But I do acknowledge it is legal.
