Is it illegal to exhibit a firearm in a rude or threatening manner?

  1. Only if it's loaded

  2. Only in self defense

  3. True

  4. False

The correct answer is: True

Context It is important to note that displaying a firearm in a rude or threatening manner can be considered a form of brandishing, which is defined as displaying a weapon in an aggressive or menacing manner. This action can be harmful and cause fear or intimidation to others. Therefore, it is generally considered illegal regardless of whether the firearm is loaded or not. Additionally, displaying a firearm for self-defense purposes should only be done in immediate and grave danger, and not as a form of intimidation. This further supports why C is the correct answer.
