Wow..... I am typically very pro-LEO, but I think this officer was FLAT WRONG.I see no evidence that the guy was "out looking for a confrontation." He's on an Eagle scout walk in the country with his son. Having a camera...... I would.He's not walking through downtown Houston; He's walking down a country road. I've walked down many country roads with a long gun or shotgun on my way to/from hunts. And I wasn't out looking for trouble.That cop should be severely reprimanded with time off at a minimum, if not fired.(I am AMAZED that more on this site don't feel that way.)Having said that, if LEO approaches me when armed, I'll do the most expedient disarm I can to make the LEO know that I am no threat....... I just think the guy's 2A rights were stolen.
I doubt he was responding to a call. In the video I posted you'll note two patrol cars pull up. I certainly would want back up before responding to an armed individual.

I certainly would want back up before responding to an armed individual.I was just going off the videos, both officers stated that they had received a complaint. I was under the impression that the officer stopped him for that reason, not just because he was walking down the road with a gun.
