"Brandishing (to swing or wave) a weapon is not necessarily a crime in Ohio. Brandishing law is referenced as an add-on offense. Here is why.
The primary statute in this area states that brandishing or displaying a firearm in the course of a felony is an offense. Example: Fighting and threatening can be felonies of battery and communicating threats (menacing).
If you brandish a weapon during either of these violations, law enforcement will likely charge you with the initial offense plus a brandishing charge."
