ets running back Chris Johnson was arrested after a Florida cop saw the handle of a gun between the running back’s feet during a traffic stop, police said Saturday.

Johnson, 29, was pulled over around 8:55 p.m. Friday by Orlando police after the athlete failed to come to a halt at a stop sign, cops said.

That’s when the cop saw the weapon.

Johnson has a license to carry a weapon in Florida, but was arrested because he was doing so openly, according to ProFootballTalk.

He was charged with open carrying of a firearm, a second-degree misdemeanor.

If the gun was snapped in a holster, there was no violation of the open carry ban whether or not licensed, I assume it wasn't. One thing is for sure, I can sleep sounder tonight knowing he was charged with an unconstitutional "law". What a brave officer, risking his life for mine!

The funniest thing is that in most states this would have been considered concealed carry! Ah, the state. What a retarded, wicked, and completely despicable institution!
