That is a crime and self defense cannot be used as defense against it. Your only allowed to use your gun if you fear for your life. By not firing you counter that assertion. The same applies to firing warning shots.
It's a crime in probably every state but Texas.
Cart Narc went right to the cops the first time a gun was brandished on him and they told him to fuck off because the dude was sitting in his own vehicle. Brandishing is labeled as deadly conduct in Texas and the misdemeanor version of it is sometimes called unlawful display and you basically can't be charged with it if you don't point the weapon or discharge it while on your property, which they extended to his vehicle. Maybe him exiting the vehicle puts it over the threshold, but I'd bet a cop or a prosecutor would extend the meaning of his property to around the car and also take into consideration the weapon was never withdrawn unlike last time.
Here's a thought experiment though:
Do what Cart Narc did to an on duty American cop (run full speed at them in a bullet proof vest) I bet you at least get a gun pointed at you, if not mag dumped upon.
Do what Lazybones did to an on duty American cop (show that you are armed in a threatening manner) I bet you at least get a gun pointed at you, if not mag dumped upon.
