I know some people do not like LEO'S but come on! Open Carry altercation

Thomas Cook · Jun 17, 2014

For one let me state that I am a supporter of open carry. As long as a person is just going about their day, I do not have an issue with it after all it is right guaranteed by the Constitution.

I also believe a person should not have to ID themselves to police if they have not commuted a crime or a ticketed offence. But if an officer has a valid reason for needing your information and explains his cause for the request or order, you should comply, verbally object if you want but comply.

Up for discussion is a post about a man, who IMHO just seemed bat crap crazy to act the way he did to officers.

I do not agree though with their belief that they had a right to steal his property for 24 hours or so when no citations or charges were issued.

What do you think?

Well I can't get the video to play but based soley on the written article I would say the guy should consider himself lucky the cops didn't take him in on a 72hr psychiatric hold.

Watched the video. The guy was intentionally trying to attract attention. That's not the intent of OC.
People like that will do no good to make the public see that people who carry guns are not lunatic fanatics.

He acted just like the anti-gun folks picture all of us in their minds.

He needs a mental evaluation.
