We have had many questions on this subject lately. There is no law that specifically addressed brandishing. Here is what the law does have to say about drawing /displaying a weapon.

Self-Defense and Legal DisplayDrawing or exhibiting a concealed carry weapon (CCW) is illegal in Illinois unless it is done in lawful self-defense.Self-defense is an affirmative legal defense rather than a blanket exemption.Under 720 ILCS 5/7-1, displaying or using lethal force is only justified if you reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to yourself or another person. Using a weapon to protect personal property or out of anger/pride is illegal.

In Illinois, displaying a firearm—often called "brandishing" or "defensive display"—is legally treated as a use of force. Illinois statutes do not have a separate, specific law for "defensive display"; instead, drawing or exposing a weapon is governed under the exact same self-defense criteria found in 720 ILCS 5/7-1.The Legal Standard for Exposing a FirearmBecause a gun is considered a deadly weapon, drawing or aggressively revealing it is generally viewed by Illinois courts as a threat of deadly force.When Justified: You are only legally permitted to display your firearm if you reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent imminent death, great bodily harm, or a forcible felony against yourself or someone else.The Risk of Over-Escalation: If you draw a firearm during a minor physical confrontation, a verbal argument, or a situation involving simple property dispute, it is not legally justified. In those cases, you become the legal aggressor.Criminal Charges for Unlawful DisplayIf a prosecutor determines that the display of the firearm was not justified under 720 ILCS 5/7-1, you can be arrested and face severe criminal charges, including:Aggravated Assault with a Firearm: Knowingly placing someone in reasonable fear of receiving an injury using a firearm.Unlawful Use of Weapons (UUW): Carrying or displaying a weapon with the intent to use it unlawfully against another.Reckless Conduct or Disorderly Conduct: Displaying a weapon in a way that endangers public safety or breaches the peace.
