I don't know that it is cops in general who oppose citizens with guns.

But certainly goofballs like Chief Ed Flynnon a power trip when he promises that his "officers seeing anybody carrying a gun will put them on the ground, take the gun away and then decide if the person has a right to carry it."

He is doing that because, well, because he can.

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

There seems to be alot more cases where the police are acting out of bounds and trying to force their opinions on people, case in point the ABC reporter who got arrested for trying to cover a rollover accident, it seems the rights of the people dont mean squat anymore.

I agree with the WTF. The problem is that if there is an attorney with the city or county that tells a chief/sheriff that it is lawful to stop people for openly carrying then they have an opinion that differs from the AG. Neither carries weight of law but the local attorney's opinion would more than likely give the department and municipality immunity.

This case is not much different than Nichols, Kerlikowski, and the Seattle attorney telling them that they can enforce a no trespass because of the presence of a firearm. Both instances are wrong and will take a lawsuit to sort it out. Seattle will more than likely not receive immunity because of pre emption but that will be left up to a court/jurors.

I see your point, but it dosent take away my frustration with these issues, it used to be the Law Enforcemt agents tried to work with the people, i remember many times as a kid my old man talking with the local sherrif or the police chief / LT i cant remember but they would actually say things like your right i will tell my officers or i will take a look at it, now they wont even talk to you, and if you question what they are doing its STFU or i'll arrest you.

I miss America

Now it's all OT, so how about we stop pointing fingers and saying "nuh-uh, you are!" like 3rd graders, and try a little self moderation. A little OT isn't going to kill anyone, but major thread jacking should be kept to an absolute minimum. Sitting here on the thread arguing about it makes you all look ridiculous. If you want to start a pissing match, take it to PM.
