I got taken into custody by the Reading Police in Berks County for walking around with my gun showing. Now you maybe thinking I'm crazy, but take a look at this http://glocktalk.com/sitemap/topic/327198-1.html
and you'll see what I mean. I made a short trip to the store and came back to my cousin's house, all with my gun in my holster. I didn't think I was gonna need a jacket. I came back in the house from the store when about 5 minutes later, 2 cops knock on my door. I answered the door and then they came at me and was like "What the **** you think you're doing? You're stupid..." and all that, while handcuffing me all crazy-like. I was like "Yo, look at the laws... I'm legal! I got my license here although I ain't gotta show you shit! **** y'all!" So they got all mad and took me to the squad car. They took me and was all bending my arm forward with my hands handcuffed behind my back. I was like "Yo... this shit hurt! This shit ain't necessary! Why am I getting treated like I'm a perp when I'm innocent. I didn't do shit?!" So the cop was like "I'm gonna take your license away!" and I was like "How? For #1, you're not the issuing authority, the Sheriffs are, for #2, I have to have violated a part of the UFA (Uniformed Firearms Act) which I didn't. Then I was like "How you gonna get me for violating something when you don't even know what's in the act? Carrying around a gun a a badge should have made you wanna learn about the law instead of this shit." So they took me downtown to City Hall and I was trying to tell them, but they didn't listen, because they turned up the stereo mad fuckin' high. I was like "ok....ok.....". When I got to the station 10 minutes later, they took me into this little area with a chair and some papers and this other cop typing up something. I just then read out loud the case laws and the PA statutes about the open carry "law" and they got all silent... LOL! Then after about 2 minutes later, the cop uncuffed me and was like some "Technically you are right, but it's a law that is not really recognized because of the safety issues behind it. So I was like "So my rights is forefeited because old people gets scared of guns? If that's the case, why arent they scared of you all? And he was like "Because I'm a cop." And I was like "My gun was in a holster not bothering anybody. When have the last time you seen a gun magically come off ofa holster and shoot somebody?" So he took me back to my cousin's house, gave me back my gun and told me that I "shouldn't" do it no more. I'm like "If it doesn't say anywhere that I can't, I'm gonna continue to rep the 2nd amendment!"
Do you think I have a case for harrassment, false arrest and defamation of character because they did all this? :-D
