I bet the open carry of a long gun felt like FREEDOM. It always makes me smile.
I just wish he would NOT use the word WEAPON. Call it a gun, or a firearm, but WEAPON has negative connotations.
LGOC is the perfect excuse to get that HK USC 45 or Hi-Point 995 I've been wanting so bad...
The cop with his gun drawn looked like he was going to sh*t his pants, HAHAHAHA
awsome video
i am certain he is looking on youtube to find the video and maybe even lurking on this board.
relax man, lol
I know I should know this, but I thought e checks only applied to handguns, not long guns ?
Did anyone notice the second cop had his gun drawn?
SNIP I noticed that too.
But, if I'd been his shoes I'd have done the same thing.

Some people think this kind of thing is funny. I don't.
Carrying an unloaded AR15 around one's neck, meandering around the neighborhood is childish and immature, and smacks of "look at me!"
W.H.Y.?
The citizen was not breaking any laws, and was walking a frufru dog. WHY would YOU draw?
Save Our State said:One cop with a drawn weapon doesn't seem out of line to me.
For me, personally, a police officer approaching me at "low ready" isn't all that threatening... I know it means he means business, but he's not threatening.. he's not pointing it at me... he's just on high alert... I"m not HAPPY about it, but I guess I don't realy think it's all that big of a deal...
Wilson v. Indiana - Indiana Appeals - 2006In Plummer, the defendant became angry when the Kentland Town Board ordered
him to trim shade trees on his property. The defendant then “left his house with his
loaded revolver in his hand, and went onto the business streets of [the] town inquiring for
the members of [the] town board, making threats that he was not to be fooled with, saying
they had ordered his trees to be cut down, and that he would shoot them; and, while so
talking in an excited manner he would frequently brandish his revolver around.”
After being told to go home, the defendant started walking back to his property.
The town marshal then came upon the scene and ordered the defendant to “put up his
gun.” When the defendant did not do so, the marshal approached the defendant from
behind, struck the defendant with his billy club, and fired his gun at the defendant. The
defendant, who had dropped his gun when he was struck by the billy club, retrieved his
gun and returned fire. During an exchange of further gunfire, the marshal was killed.
After noting that the marshal was attempting to make an illegal arrest, our supreme
court further noted that a police officer may not “use more force than necessary to effect
an arrest.” The court held that if an officer is resisted before he has
used “needless force and violence,” he may then “press forward and overcome such
resistance, even to the taking of the life of the person arrested, if absolutely necessary.”
The court then noted that the marshal had not indicated to the defendant that
he was under arrest and that there had been no necessity for the marshal to strike the
defendant with his billy club. The court reasoned that the marshal therefore became a
“trespasser” and that the marshal’s assault with the billy club, coupled with the discharge
of his weapon, “gave [the defendant] the clear right to defend himself.” The court
stated that “[w]hen a person, being without fault, is in a place where he has a right to be,
and is violently assaulted, he may, without retreating, repel force by force, and if, in the
reasonable exercise of his right of self-defense, his assailant is killed, he is justifiable.”
Id. (citing Runyan v. State, 57 Ind. 80 (1877); Miller v. State, 74 Ind. 1 (1881)).
This is my rifle, this is my gun.
This is for fighting and this is for fun.
I noticed that too.
