I will. I have been aproponent for concealed and open carry ever since I was in the military. There are ways to go about educating people. Doing crazy crap like was done here is NOT the way to go about it. I grew up in that area and know the restaurant owners and workers, real good people. I know the truth, and it isn't the way it was portrayed by the open carrying guys there. Under no circumstances should we make gestures towrads our guns and be rude to law enforcement, it doesn't make us look good. They should have just showed ID to the officers and gone from there. Following that if the cops were rude or tried to arrest then that's another story. That didn't happen though as we all know.
Oh, so you weren't just being sarcastic? You are more like HankT than I first believed.
Now's the moment for you to provide some evidence that any of the above quoted BS is true. We're waiting.
And how would i "prove" that? I have some friends in the restaurant who told me what happened. As stated prior, they are very good people and have no reason to lie. I saw the story a long time ago in the paper and it didn't seem right to me. If the officers really had violated your rights they would have been sued, that's obvious. I do believe it is wrong for them to write the computer stuff they did, but that's more of a departmental issue than a civil rights issue. I have noticed a lot of anti-LE stuff on this forum (and other pro-gun forums) and I think that's the wrong way to go about this. Some people here are mis-informed on the law and give bad advice with respect to how to deal with LE.
OK, changed my mind. . .this is just. . . .wow.
Lets see. . .I can trust The people who were AT Tony's during the incident itself, who stood up in public, before a crowded room and told their version before the entire City Council, Mayor, Cheif of police, etc. They stated their names publicly, their home addresses and their account of what happened to them for all to hear.
Or i could trust some anynomus guy on teh interwebz who says he knows a guy who was there and in his first few posts proclaims he is "the real pro concealed weapons (not firearm, but "weapons") carry advocates."
yeah. . .tough choice, but I'm going to go with the people who put their own names and home addressed to their statements and testimony, rather then "some guy on teh webz".
