Type 2 brandishing requires the firearm or object similar in appearance to be in which location?

• A. In a school zone
• B. In a public place
• C. In a private residence
• D. In a vehicle

Answer: (B)

Type 2 brandishing centers on displaying a firearm or object that looks like one in a public place, where the display is visible to others and could alarm or threaten them. The defining element is public exposure—the weapon is shown in a setting open to the public, not confined to a private space. That’s why the correct location is a public place. A private residence isn’t accessible to the general public, so it wouldn’t meet the requirement. A vehicle is typically a more private space, and while a display inside a car in a public area could raise concern, the standard definition for this item emphasizes the public place setting. A school zone involves additional, specific restrictions beyond the general brandishing rule.
