Josey,

I don't recommend talking to the police for legal advice. It's not their job, and 90% of the time you'll get someone's personal opinion paraded as fact. The other 10% of the time they'll be honest and tell you they don't know.

"Officer Mitchell told me there were no laws against this," is not going to hold up in court.

Another option is to talk to an attorney. This is going to costmoney, and most likely the attorney is going to say, "In myprofessional opinion it's a bad idea to open carry."

The bottom line is we each must take personal responsibility for our actions. That means taking charge and doing your own research. After all, it's your ass that's gonna be sitting in jail if you're wrong.

Almost correct.

State law preempts local code on any issue addressed by statute (which covers almost everything, so you're almost correct there). The big exception is that statute does not preempt local codes that apply only on city-owned property (e.g. fair grounds, the lawn of city hall, etc).

More likely he would be advising on the side of caution because I could see a judge rule against him in amalpractice suitfor giving pro-2A advice that ended up in his client's arrest. So he'd really be saving money.

Of course, I'm sure he'd first rack up hours of paralegal research fees in order to give the "don't do it" advice in the first place. Probably going to make a couple grand anyhow.

I was thinking he would say "If you plan to be falsely arrested and prosecuted for breaking no law at all, and then sue for 1983 in federal court, I can represent you criminally and civilly."

You forgot that they would ask for about a $5000 retainer after saying that.

All,

Wasn't planning on talking with them...just asking to review/see what codes arefollowed.

Learned my lesson with regards to conversing with LE when it comes to penal code violations and myself.
