A person is guilty of unlawful display of a weapon when they carry, exhibit, display, or draw any weapon capable of producing bodily harm, in a manner that creates someone to have alarm for their safety or the safety of others, or with intent to intimidate another.
Examples of weapons include firearms, daggers, swords, knives, or clubs.
There are instances where it is not unlawful to display a weapon. Those instances include when a person is law enforcement officer performing their duties, engaged in military activities, or for the purpose of protecting another against the use of such unlawful force by a third person.
