Another video: cop vs open carry guy:: discussion
« on: February 11, 2013, 12:19:59 PM »
usually guys that do this piss me off.  but in this case it got me thinking.  this guys unlike most of the jackazzes had a holstered handgun not a shotgun or rifle.  and the response he got from the police got me thinking.  I open carry once in a while out of convenience. because sometimes having the gun concealed is very uncomfortable in what i'm wearing or the activity im participating in at the moment.  if I got a response like this from police I honestly wouldn't know all the laws good enough to protect myself from them.   

the purpose of this thread isn't to discuss weather or not the guy taking the video is a dumbazz, but about the response from the police and how we should respond to them.  its sad that law abiding citizens (like me) are worried about cops reacting to a perfectly legal thing.   :dunno:

anyways here's the video

Those cops are really ignorant of the law. God, MO was a terrible state in which to live.

Those officers were annoying.

 :yeah:

Substitute "black" for "with a weapon", and see what would happen.  They gave no legal or logical reason to detain him

OK....i've typed up a few comments but needed to delete them because they come back to me wanting to put the guy down for being inciteful. I think the repsonse by the cops if fairly typical and to be expected. The police have to respond to all the phone calls they would get in this situation. By the time they get there I'm sure they are plenty irritated and are going to be butt heads to the guy. Not something I would do but yes, it does get you thinking about the reponse you would get if it came down to it.

 :chuckle: :chuckle: I found that very entertaining  :dunno: :chuckle: But the cops do have a point ...all that guy had to do was comply and that would have been the end of it  :dunno: But on the other hand this guys knows his rights and I like that  :chuckle: :chuckle:

I agree with h2ohunter.  The open carry guy had to expect something similar to this from the cop.

Give the fat cop a break--he probably got laid off when Hostess closed, and is suffering from "Twinky Withdrawal".  :chuckle:

The loud cop is an idiot.  Makes them all look bad.  Handled it wrong.

The cops started off as confrontational, by call the guy as azz...., so they didn't get off on the right foot.

I do think there is a little bit of bully in some open carry people, they sometimes seem to like making people feel intimidated and uncomfortable.

I don't think there is an easy answer

Isn't the answer for the cops to drive by and see that the guy is just walking down the street minding his own business and leave it at that?

No I believe that once they have been dispatched they are pretty much obligated to making contact with the guy.
