Part of Restoguys comment " I can see it now - a plain looking person wearing a holstered handgun and the words "Relax, this is legal in North Carolina" printed alongside.
I would really wonder WHY I was seeing this billboard as described on every highway that I drive... BUT I've NEVER DRIVEN IN North Carolina....
I admit it... I was going for some humor here!
You have to have the first part for this to make any sense!

Clearly not a reason for the cop to do what he did to you.
I hope your complaint will get him edumacated.
Maybe we should all chip in and rent one, one right in front of the CMPD HQ!!!!
Funny thing is that I just played the recording and I didnt realize that the leo said that he understood that my gun was a very good gun, yeah was he really concerned about his safety or did he just want to play with my FNH 5.7 Hmmm!

My prediction is that, unfortunately, we're going to see a LOT more of these types of incidents in Charlotte, and Mecklenberg County in general.
Charlotte is the headquarters of several major banks, and THOSE folks are the sort of folks that definitely DON'T want guns in the hands of the "wrong kinds of people". And in their minds, the "wrong kinds of people" are anyone who actually WORKS for a living.
Considering the fact that the Federal Reserve just got another $1/2 TRILLION lottery ticket from the Treasury (to hand out to their bankster cronies like bailout candy) several of whom are in Charlotte), it's no wonder the "powers that be" in Charlotte are getting antsy about the idea of law-abiding citizens being openly armed...

I'm 5'11", and weigh about 180. I'm pretty lanky, and I can successfully and discretely carry a full-sized Para Ordnance double-stack 1911 concealed. Get a good holster, some slightly oversized pants, and a few loud, loose shirts...
CC isn't as difficult as you think. And with the weather getting chilly for the next 4 months or so, you'll have plenty of time to practice before next summer.
Plus it makes carrying while in your vehicle and interstate travel a LOT simpler...

I believe the wording in Terry vs Ohio was that the requirement for a detainment or "seizure" along with a pat down for weapons was a "reasonable artculable suspicion" that a crime was afoot. Since the officer disarmed you I must assume that you were being detained.
What part of standing in a 5 guys waiting for a hamburger constitutes RAS of a crime? Like others have said, this crap will continue until cities start paying out large sums of money for their officers illegal detainments. I would definitely file a complaint at a minimum. That doesn't cost anything

Ok I was just wondering where the Car jacking was, Thanks.
I have ate at 5guys in Charlotte one time (Before I started carrying) I think thats the one I went too.
The manager of five told me that the car jacking was across the st at bbq place,
But apparently sitting down at a restaurant while ocing is considered acting suspiciously by the charmeck pd!

That's what I was thinking....CHP isn't needed for OC....so don't legally have to supply one if asked in this situation.

Aren't the 5.7mm rounds that can be imported into the USA downloaded and aren't true 5.7mm armor piercing rounds? Similar to the ban of steel core 7.62x39 ammo.
AP rounds are a big no no! The other stuff is kinda weak but can still do damage, but there is a nice little outfit by the name of Elite Ammunition which sells some pretty good stuff! That's what I carry in mine!

FN regulates the sale of their AP ammo to LEO only. It is legal own, use, buy, or sell AP ammo in most States. The Federal Government only regulates the import, manufacture, and selling of it by dealers. This is why steel core 7.62x39 is still bought and sold daily between private citizens.
Well I stand corrected sir thank you!!
