Driving a rental in Atlanta on the 285 merge from the rental center. I didn’t cut him off but didn’t let him in either. That’s a first.

Brandishing a firearm is no minor deal at least here in FL.

"Brandishing a firearm in Florida is illegal under Florida Statute 790.10, which prohibits the improper exhibition of a dangerous weapon or firearm in a rude, careless, angry, or threatening manner—unless done in necessary self-defense or defense of others.

It is not a felony by default. Improper exhibition is typically a first-degree misdemeanor, punishable by:
Up to 1 year in jail
Up to $1,000 in fines
Up to 1 year of probation
Potential forfeiture of the firearm
A permanent criminal record"

If you had him on video in a non blue area he was not just looking at termination, he would likely do time.

Unless you can't afford bond, you'd be doing no time over a m1 offense in Florida, as someone with a scoresheet low enough to be in law enforcement.

Maybe you're right with a clean record, there have been cases in the news where people caught 10 year sentences for brandishing a firearm but its entirely possible they had existing records.

It was something they emphasized heavily when I did my CCW training, if you pull you better be able to claim defense because you've now put yourself in legal jeopardy.

We know. Most would be extremely embarrassed by this.

You're correct, they were catching 5 years, the remaining portions of their sentences were either for other associated crimes or as part of the 10-20-life sentencing law.

justice.gov: 5 years

Tampa Bay: 10 years (also robbery)

Its not his responsibility or legal obligation to let him in. Cop should know that.
