2 Question’s:
1. Is it possible when you hand out flyers when you open carry, you are in fact officially recognizing that you are doing something that could cause “alarm” and giving a possible technical validation to a breech of peace arrest & or threatening, through your action’s. (CCDL Flyers for example)
2. How would you answer if the Police said real friendly like, during a unlawful Terry stop, from a call in, “well you know OC’in could cause alarm right?” Would you fall for that trap?
I had a friendly conversation with a Cromwell PD officer at Wal-Mart, (Who pulled me out of the Gym on a prior occasion for a call that I ran into the New England athletic club with a bight blue Gun, (m4 commando w/grenade launcher, my 20 pd rubber training rifle I sometimes run with.)
I approached, the officer for an open carry conversation, during the conversation he asked me, “well open carrying could cause alarm, you do know that”, I said “I never really thought about it & that I have a permit to carry and that’s it.” I’m not fallin’ for that one, even in friendly conversation:banana:!
He recognized OC’s Legality, & I asked him how he would respond if someone just called on me, for shopping with my FN .45 Tac. w/ reflex sight, he coped out and said that I seem, “very prudent” but he’s required to interview the caller(s), & make a determination from there as to what occurred. (Me shoppin’ with my gun, holstered, responsibly, WTF:banghead
I subsequently informed him that I usually remain totally silent when stopped by an officer, & don’t speak at all:shocker:, & the only people I would explain my self to work at the court house! The officer seemed puzzled by that, I gathered that he felt I would nullify pretty much anything he tried to hit me with, because he would have none of my own statements to use against me. I told him my normal script is stating “Thank you for your svc, but I respectfully invoke my right to remain silent!”
I was totally surprised by his reaction, to hypothetically invoking silence, like he never has anyone who invokes on him, he wasn’t sure how to take that!
The officer seemed cool, was against the Mag. Ban & to my surprise supportive of the Decimalization of Marijuana, & any unnecessary interference on privet citizens, to use his lingo he was a prudent individual!
