SVG,
Can you post or pm a copy of that opinion? It could be very valuable to have when shooting.

I'll go look for it again, I posted it quite awhile ago.


Edit: Found the thread_

http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/showthread.php?68187-would-this-preempt-some-no-shooting-zones

The link isn't working and when I pasted it I get an error message from the site now.

I copied and pasted McKenna's opinion in the thread though.

Sounds like good policing to me.

What would everyone be saying if instead of SVG, the shooter was some nutjob or escaped murderer, who was sighting in so he could go shoot up a shopping mall or school yard. And, the deputy checked him out, didn't bother to get his name? Everyone would be saying what a lousy job she did, not even checking to see if he was. Everyone would be saing that people are dead because of that lazy cop.

I wouldn't be saying that. If the guy was not breaking any laws.
Just because there are a few nut jobs out there I am not willing to sacrifice liberty for safety.

Edit to add:

What good would taking a name do? Would that somehow prevent the nut job from carrying out some horrendous crime because "The Law" took his name while he was out in the woods?

Well, with a name, the police can first find out if the person is a wanted murderer, and second, at least they could track him down and arrest him after the fact. Better than letting him go.
