Which action constitutes a felony regarding peace officers?

Threatening a peace officer is classified as a felony because it undermines the safety and authority of law enforcement officers, who are responsible for maintaining public order and safety. Such threats can impede their ability to perform their duties effectively and can create a hostile environment that may lead to violence or disorder. The law recognizes the importance of protecting those who serve in law enforcement due to the dangers and responsibilities inherent in their role. This classification as a felony serves as a deterrent against actions that could endanger peace officers while ensuring that the community respects the law enforcement process.

The other actions listed do not constitute felonies. Applying for a job, providing assistance, or submitting an application for a concealed carry permit are generally part of lawful processes and responsibilities, and while they may involve regulations and scrutiny, they do not pose a direct threat to peace officers or disrupt their duties in the same manner as threatening behavior does.
