Open carry of handguns is not reasonable suspicion for a police stop in the Eighth Circuit.

I have to admit, I admire the courage of those who open carry if it is a “tweak the nose” of the snowflakes and send them scurrying for their “safe space”. As a practical matter it is like wearing a sign for the bad guys to “shoot me first”.

I support open carry, although I’m not comfortable seeing it. Too many crazies out there - not the open carriers, though.

I still think concealed carry is better. I suppose that open carry is a deterrent (although I’ve never seen any studies on that), but I don’t want people to know my business.

Sounds even more painful than a rotator cuff.

Duffie and the City of Lincoln reached a settlement, with Duffie receiving $160,000.

That is atrocious! He should have gotten a MINIMUM of a MILLION DOLLARS!.

A measly $160k means the cops will do it again, and again.................

police did not have reasonable suspicion to stop Duffie, because the open carry of handguns is legal under the law in Nebraska

They should all be charged Criminally then for the Multiple Felonies they committed

In regards to the comments about open carry I would note that it applies to long arms as well as hand guns (though that is mostly what everyone thinks of first). If you can’t legally open carry a long arm - how would you hunt with one?

I’ve been surprised that since Texas allowed open carry, I have yet to see anyone carrying a gun that is openly visible.

If the cops involved weren’t fired, stripped of their pensions, and prosecuted for Federal civil rights violations this doesn’t mean squat.

This money came out of taxpayers hides. Until that changes, nothing will.
