When I moved into the NOLA area I realized how pervasive the misuse was. As I have tried to help people, some grasped it better this way. Point to where the object will go. If you are pointing away from where you are, use take.
There are some exceptions, but none that would ever make the above wrong.
Bring here. Take away.
