What I find this forum to be is populated by well informed folks who know much more than the average citizen about gun laws. And those folks will challenge any misinformation (didn't say you posted misinformation... that is a general statement) with facts about gun laws. Or will request more info to learn what the facts are about the law.
What I have noticed in online forums and in real life is that many officers get their backs up when a citizen dares to question an officer on the law. Why that is isn't important... what is important is that if an officer has a sincere desire to help bridge the chasm between LE and open carrying citizen then an attitude of offering actual legal facts (with cites to the laws involved) and how those laws affect both open carriers and the police during encounters... and why officers do what they do during an encounter... would be most helpful.
To be fair open carriers would further the cause of making guns socially acceptable by not taking out any left over resentment they may have due to an incident with LE in the past.
Or... having typed all of that to be polite... I could have just said:
Squabbling sessions don't get anything useful or productive done regardless of who is doing the squabbling... they only create even more squabbling sessions. So shall we get our excrement gathered in one geographic location and start really communicating?

Sir... I respectfully disagree that this forum is anti-police.Being accused of violating someones rights (a fact generally determined only by a court and open to interpretation especially on this forum which has proven to be anti-police) does not equate to armed robbery. So, in the context that you are trying to pigeon hole me into saying my answer would be a resounding "no".
