Dan, great job. I second the motion to send the recording to HPD Chief. His officers were wrong on several issues. They need a little refresher
Their remedial training will consist of the chief telling the troops, "Look guys, if you seesome little SOB carrying a gun on my beach, it's legal! Look for some other reason to arrest him and remove him from my beach!" The chief will then issue a press release stating, "We have advised our officers of the legality of open carry, and they have been instructed on how to act in the future!"
Danbus, let me say up front that I think you did a great job here, and your g/f did exactly the right thing by staying silent and being a good witness. Did she have a recorder too? If you get arrested, they'll take yours, and oops, what recording....
I'm (little) surprised tho, that the LEOs didn't simply try to order you off the beach for "
...some other reason..." like disturbing the peace or being a public nusiance, without even mentioning your gun, as (they said) they were responding to calls about a man with a gun.
KUTGW!!!
