Which of the following is an example of a legal defensive display of a firearm in Arizona?

  1. Brandishing a weapon to intimidate someone

  2. Firing a warning shot to scare away a burglar

  3. Informing an aggressor that you are armed

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Informing an aggressor that you are armed

In Arizona, informing an aggressor that you are armed is an example of a legal defensive display of a firearm. This approach can help de-escalate a situation and potentially deter any potential violence without having to brandish or fire the weapon. It is important to remember that brandishing a weapon to intimidate someone and firing a warning shot are generally not legal forms of self-defense in Arizona, as they could be considered the use of force beyond what is necessary to protect oneself. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it aligns with the legal guidelines for defensive firearm display in Arizona.
