this is really itching my brain
I have asked many people about this, and many people get confused saying it comes under 9.3 - Threat of Physical Assault.
However, 9.3, is defined as follows;
"Any person who causes another person to be in fear of physical assault as defined under article 9.1 by verbal, physical, emotional or other forms of intimidation acts unlawfully."
This means for 9.3 to be the valid law, 9.1 needs to be the crime ultimately in threat of being committed. 9.1 is defined as "Any person who intentionally or recklessly causes another person to suffer or apprehend immediate unlawful violence commits an offence."
The only difference between 9.1 and 9.2 is the inclusion of "that is likely to cause great bodily harm through the use of an offensive weapon as defined in law 7.3, commits an offence."
7.3 of course refers to weapons "Offensive weapons include, but are not necessarily limited to the following, firearms, baseball bats, knives, machetes, or improvised/adapted items with the intent to harm or cause damage."
So, what does this actually mean? Why the yapping?
Aiming your fists at somebody , even if you do not hit them, under the classification of Law as it's written (Punching towards them, not merely having them equipped) would be an offence of 9.1
Making a verbal threat of violence towards somebody is 9.3
Aiming your weapon at somebody, even if you ultimately do not fire it, comes under 9.2 - making somebody 10 toes.
