indiana does not have a law with regard to brandishing. They do have a law about pointing a firearm at someone. basically, in my opinion, if you draw, it better be because youre going to use it. if the perp stops or backs down befoe he gets ventilated, you're still ok
...Remember the word "intent", folks. That single word carries a great deal of weight in the legal world.
Under Indiana law, the crime of intimidation is be geared toward preventing a person from performing an act which they are legally within their rights to do. Since no one is legally within their rights to assault, batter, or kill you, intimidation against assault, battery, or murder can never fit the legal definition of the crime of intimidation.
