Type 2 brandishing involves which of the following conditions?

• A. The brandishing must occur in a private residence
• B. The weapon must be loaded
• C. The brandishing must be in a vehicle
• D. It must be in a public place

Answer: (D)

Type 2 brandishing is defined by the weapon being displayed in a public place where others can see it. The key factor is the location’s public nature, not whether the weapon is loaded or whether you’re in a car or at a private residence. Because the offense hinges on making the weapon visible in a setting where the public has access or can witness it, the requirement is that the act occur in a public place. The other conditions—being in a private residence, the weapon being loaded, or the act occurring inside a vehicle—are not what establish Type 2 brandishing.
