Where did you get the part about the outcome of the case? I can't find it.

Aside from that, I didn't get why the issue about how he got to the Home depot factored in, PA law may require that without a permit, he drive with it unloaded and in a case, so why would the cop assume the likelyhood he broke the law on the way to the store. Also, HD's policy is to follow the local laws, the evidence presented was they don't like OC.

I hate you simply for the fact that I got involved in the discussion and in no way was prepared for it to be a little over an hour long. However, I do like a common sense judge :)

Judge: "Did the off duty Officer have any constitutional grounds to detain, disarm, and interrogate the Plaintiff."

Attorney: "Yes Your honor. The Plaintiff must have driven to the store."

Repeat for 1 hour.

Wow that was long. And I know it was a civil case, but why can't we get more judges like that? If we had judges like him presiding over criminal cases like this one we could have a big one up for our 2A rights.

The driven to the store theory was comical. I might be the only one, but I have walked to a home depot before. No where as many times as I have driven, but I certainly have twice I can recall.

That was about as weak a defense as one could expect to hit court with, it shold have settled before the lawyer embarrassed himself.

No prosecutor, just plaintiff or defense. Defense lawyer pwned by the judge!!! "1857 my ass. Go to Alabama or Montana and you will see guys TODAY with guns..." which is a paraphrase obviously but reflects the ATTITUDE of what the judge said to the defense attorney.

Nice.
