I had a great talk with the city attorney. We went over the police training bulletin and open carry issues.
The following is my take. Read carefully what I write and think about it,
The city, is of course, fully aware of state preemption.
The training bulletin contains other information that does not pertain to OC.
What we are really looking at are the "people". For example, state and local laws do not prohibit open carry into city owned parks. It is after you get into the park that the "warrants alarm" comes in. People who are not aware will call the police. We have a lot of work to do in this area.
It has become our job to educate the people. (Please do not go into our education system.) We need to make OC a common event. Not the unicorn sighting event. We need to make OC so common that the mom with three kids at the park does not call 911 to report AMWAG. That she has her own side arm and is fully aware of her rights. We need hundreds of OC people out there to inform people of there rights. It is our responsibility to eliminate "warrants alarm" calls.
What we need is "mass communication" my friends. Billboards, maybe ch 4 morning news, a lot of people watch it. If you want this to go forward the information needs to get out there.
