After reading this I don't think I want open carry when I come to Madtown in Dec. I live to far away if they take my gun away. If they would give me a ride back to my house to put my gun away that would sent me back by about 24 hrs.
This is EXACTLY what the government wants.
Irefuse to fear my government and encourage you not to cave. PM me and give me a date/time and we will OC together. I'd be willing to bet
we won't be harassed by any LEO.
Now, as far as how Yates has handled this, it is my opinion (I ain't a lawyer) that he handled everything incorrectly.
Had this been me, once I was harassed, and given the ticket, I would have filed a
complaint with the AG. I would have filed a
complaint with the county DA against the city officers. I would have taken this to the press, and gotten everybody I know to
complain about the ROUGE Madison Police department. I'd be on
the McKenna show as often as she would have me. I would have
filed a complaint with the Madison fire/police commission or whatever it's called for harassment, and lastly, I would have filed a civil suit against the city
seeking a declaratory judgement baring the police from issuing any more disorderly citations for "open carry."
In a nut shell, I'd have
gone after them in every conceivable way.
