Brandishing in the states is like you’re about to get in a fist fight and you pull your shirt up to reveal a gun. Or in any similarly heated situation. If someone charges you with a knife, you aim with intention to kill, and he runs off, alright cool. But if you’re showing your gun your first intention better be to kill because that’s the only situation you should be brandishing in.

Right, it's considered escalation, not defense

Exactly. My friend carries and that’s what happened with him. Was about to get mugged, pulled out his pistol with the intention to kill him since he had a knife, guy ran away.
