last night i was shopping at the local walmart here in napoleon ohio with my wife and 7yo son while open carrying as i always do and have done for the past 3 years. a guy wearing a ratty gray sweatshirt who honestly looked like a bum with no uniform or id tag on came up to me and said i needed to take my gun outside. i informed him that i was breaking no law and that i was within walmarts store policy. i then said youre obviously not a manager what are you a stock boy. he didnt reply so me and my wife continued shopping. i saw the guy was following us all over the store while he was on his phone. as we got towards the front of the store in come walking 4 officers hands on their guns and one carrying an ar15 surround me. i informed them i was in no way breaking the law. they proceeded to hold my hands tightly together behind my back . i informed them i had a chp and they fished my wallet out of my pocket and ran my id the whole time holding my hands tightly behind my back. they proceeded to tell me they had a call of a tresspasser with a gun. it turns out the guy who looked like a bum was a loss prevention guy with only a few weeks on the job. he lied and told the officers that he had asked me repeatedly to leave the store and that he showed me his id and that i refused to leave the store. he did none of those things. i was irate and said a few swear words here and there. i was then threaten with arrest for obstruction and resisting arrest if ididnt watch my mouth. they ran my stuff and it checked out. they forced me to leave the store. i emailed walmarts corporate office to complain and also contacted a manager. i also stopped at the local police dept and got the names of the four officers and said id like to file a complaint. they told me they dont have any kind of forms to file a complaint against an officer and that i need to come back monday and talk to the chief. what are my legal recourses and does anyone have the number of a good pro gun lawyer. any help is great appreciated
