Which of the following actions is considered brandishing a weapon in Kansas?

  1. Carrying a concealed firearm

  2. Displaying a firearm in a threatening manner

  3. Holstering a firearm in public

  4. Transporting a firearm in a vehicle

The correct answer is: Displaying a firearm in a threatening manner

The action that is considered brandishing a weapon in Kansas is displaying a firearm in a threatening manner. Brandishing typically involves showing or waving a firearm in a way that would make others feel threatened or alarmed. This action goes beyond simply having a firearm in one's possession; it's characterized by an intention to intimidate or instill fear in others. Carrying a concealed firearm, holstering a firearm in public, and transporting a firearm in a vehicle are generally not considered brandishing. These actions fall within lawful practices if done in accordance with Kansas law. For example, carrying a concealed firearm is legal for those who possess the appropriate permits, and holstering a firearm is a routine part of responsible gun ownership. Similarly, transporting a firearm in a vehicle must be done according to state regulations, and when done correctly, it does not involve an intent to threaten others.
