With all that is going on this month I decided to look up threads on this topic, the one I found is 11 years old. My feeling is that if someone comes onto your property and starts spray painting it and destroying it, vandalizing your car breaking windows of your home while you are inside, you have to stay inside (or leave the area) unless they actually break in and then ONLY if you are in imminent danger of death or grave physical harm are you allowed to take action and even then you will risk being arrested while the incident is combed through second by second. (assume this applies even if they set fire to your house - you are probably required to let them do it)
No way you could "brandish" especially outside. If you fire a shot into the ceiling inside your house I would assume that could get you racked up as well but not sure.
I know when I was a Special Police Officer for Westwood in the late 70's/early 80's we used to say "you have seconds to think, the lawyers have years to think"
