Is doing pic related open carrying or brandishing?
Depends on the cop.
Brandishing is about intent.

too many cooks?
If you have the rifle in a ready position to fire, it's brandishing.

What is that thing and what does it do? The part on the side, I mean.
Brandishing is about intent
Also, it's pointed vaugley out the ground, it's not being shouldered, hand is off the pistol grip and trigger, and the weapon is on safe. This is open carry, for someone so poor they can't afford a sling.

Are you talking about the thing between the selector switch and the bolt release? I'm curious too.

Thats an asskicking. You dont carry your rifle by the carry handle. The fuck you thinkin.

Gee, OP. Sure am glad you clarified where you are geographically and provided a link to your statute regarding the matter and cited applicable case law.
>assuming youre in a free state in the US where OC is lawful
If you get arrested, you have a pretty solid defense since the nomenclature for that part is "carry handle" and you used it as such. So long as you had no intention of intimidating anyone, its likely that youre good to go.

Had to google this one, it's a very odd laser mounting.

In US military combat arms culture, you do not carry a gun or rifle by the carry handle, period the end. We hold a high standard of discipline (a firearm is either slung if not in use or held so that it is ready for immediate use). We werent allowed to attach our slings at B 2/58 for infantry school because "slings make shitty soldiers". It all starts with the grooming standard ;)

Brandishing, in general, and I can only speak for a handful of states, is any method of carrying a weapon in which a reasonable person (ha!) thinks that the weapon is what most rifleman consider "hot" or "active".
For example, local police here in Dover, NH have assisted me in open carrying my rifle, wherein I remove the bolt from the action temporarily 'deactivating' the rifle. BUT if I were to brandish my 'deactivated' rifle, or anything that LOOKS like a rifle to, once again, a "reasonable person", the perception is more important, and brandishing becomes the action.
it's so convoluted, ask local LEO's.

>"slings make shitty soldiers"
Why would slings make you a shitty soldier? Is it because you don't have your gun in your hands ready to use it at all times?

The carry handle was originally designed as a comfortable and convenient place to carry the rifle, however in Vietnam the troops realized that advertising a relaxed state resulted in VC attacks. Since then rifles are always carried at the low ready, or whatever the term is. Both hands, basically. Even among civilians it is a major faux pas to use the carry handle.

Discipline. To make soldiers feel weird or wrong if they get complacent. Go look at the difference in combat readiness between arab militaries getting their shit pushed in compared to western militaries in recent conflicts in the mid east.
