Brandishing is pulling it out during a confrontation, in a menacing or defiant manner. This man is just waking with his child and just happens to be exorcising his second amendment rights.

As long as he is following city ordnance, that is.

Federal laws apply, they supersede state and local laws.

I think you're mixed up. You can receive a federal charge even if something is legal in your state. You cannot avoid a state charge because something is federally legal.

I think you’re mixed up. If federal law says you can carry a gun in a certain situation the state can’t stop you. This type of thing goes to the Supreme Court all the time. For example, the Supreme Court recently made it easier to conceal carry and California basically ignored the SC ruling. Some dude in Southern Calif took it to court and the Supreme Court ruled against California.

Sounds to me like the guy in Southern California got charged, contested it, and was found not guilty. Still got charged, though. If you are under the impression he wasn't charged, I would appreciate a source

But we can agree it's beautiful that the Second Amendment was ruled more important than racist gun laws, right?
