But I have talked to several LEO while working at my job (phone tech) and I wonder at the immediate resistance response many OCers write about here. Sure they are detaining me, big deal. I'm not breaking the law and I won't be charged with something meaningless by complying to basic commands as they sort out whatever issue they have with me or my firearm. They (LEO) are the guys putting it on the line daily and they don't know me from Adam. Maybe I am ignorant or naive but I think we want them on our side, not seeing us as a combatant, verbal or otherwise.
I OC/CC to protect my family and my Rights and while I understand the 4A issue with a "unlawful" stop, most of these guys are just doing their job. When/if I am stopped I will comply and use the opportunity to make a friendly contact in LE rather than setting the officer on the course of thinking "they're all 2A jerks." That's the danger I see in pushing the "Am I being detained?" line out first.
Just my two cents and I choose my means of expressing my choice to carry. You all can do whatever you want. It's called Freedom! Have a great weekend!
