Gonna be a mess - got an excuse to agitate

[Bailey Guns]

It's actually menacing...a felony if committed with a deadly weapon. The actor has to knowingly place or attempt to place the victim in fear of serious bodily injury:


18-3-206

(1) A person commits the crime of menacing if, by any threat or physical action, he or she knowingly places or attempts to place another person in fear of imminent serious bodily injury.  Menacing is a class 3 misdemeanor, but, it is a class 5 felony if committed:

(a) By the use of a deadly weapon or any article used or fashioned in a manner to cause a person to reasonably believe that the article is a deadly weapon;  or

(b) By the person representing verbally or otherwise that he or she is armed with a deadly weapon.

Unless something's changed there's no such crime in the Colorado Revised Statutes as brandishing. Just pickin' nits...
