I recently joined officer.com, partly in response to straightshooter's coming here and posting his own opinions with us. They may not have been widely accepted here, but he was true to his moniker in that he simply let us know what he thought, straight up.
I was surprised to see a post about Open Carry in the S.F. Bay Area had just been posted this morning, here: Open Carry in SF Bay Area.
So, I gave them my 43 cents by posting a review of St. George vs Alamagordo, which specifically addresses, at the Federal Court level, the roles and responsibilities of law enforcement officers to stop, detain, search and seize, or arrest anyone simply on the basis of an individual's MWAG status.
The first responders were knee-jerk slams. Later responders mixed things up a bit better, with a few coming to my defense.
It makes for an interesting read into the varied hearts and minds of LEOs who're opposed to OC, and why. Interestingly, most seemed to support concealed carry, which strikes me as sort of an "out of sight, out of mind" mentality. If I were an LEO, I wouldn't be worrying too much about those who were OC. It's the illegal concealers that would have me worried.
