Cleveland open carry incident

imported post

I have long been a reader of the open carry forums and also practitioner of open carry. I have learned so much and regrettably have now had to use that knowledge. I need some advice. Tonight I was detained at gunpoint by 4 Cleveland police officers. I know that if there is to be legal recourse that the details should be few.

I live in the 5th district and have spoken to commander Drumman about openly carrying a firearm. He said that it is legal but he did not agree with the concept.

I need to know what to do next.

Contact an attorney. You should be able to get leads at the OFCC.

If you PM me, I can pass your number on to an attorney I know.

As for cops "not agreeing with the concept", NOBODY cares what they agree with. They don't have to "agree with" ANY law, be it the Ohio laws on carrying a firearm, or the laws prohibiting sex with minors. They can OBEY them or accept the consequences.

Actually,I had just cleared up this issue with another blog forum within this website.

My keyboard is not broken.

In fact,I always wrote in capitalization so as to easily distinguish my editorials from others that I have written in forums with more posts than this one.

Nevertheless, another member had brought it to my attention that writing in all capitalization is considered yelling, which is not polite, and it is also against the rules of this blog. I have reviewed these rules, and determined that it would be best if I only wrote using appropiate capitalization.

Therefore, I will only write in standard capitalization from now on.
