I have to laugh. Here in Tx I got pulled over on the way to the gun range for a seatbelt violation. There in the van were some AK 47s, a FN FAL,several pistols.

The cop never gave them a second glance.
She was only interested in the seatbelt violation.
Never even asked about the firearms

I had a copper that had me a gunpoint in CA in a case of mistaken identity.

I was not happy about the situation.
And this guy was way jumpy

2nd Amendment ping.

your "friend" really does you and your cause a disservice. why intentionally try to escalate the situation. in my experience, police will know when they are dealing with a law-abiding citizen. those cops were professional and seems to me they might have simply apologized for wasting all 4 minutes of your time and moved on.

imho, broadcasting your interaction and having your buddies come over and begin yelling nonsensical insults made the situation what it eventually became. i support your cause. people like you should have legal guns, and criminals should not have illegal guns.

one other question: when you have your meetings in the bar, do you all open carry? do you all drink?

In Mississippi the police will ask you all kinds of questions...

“How’s she shoot”?

“Can I see that”.

“How much did it cost you”?

“What kind of ammo does it like”?

“Do you think I could shoot it sometime”?

I do have a few police friends, however.

Good job educating the uninformed in uniform concerning the law.

I hope you don’t end up facing some adrenaline saturated badge jockey who decides your cell phone looks too much like a Glock and lets muscle memory take over.

The chance of an “accident” ending your career as an educator is real and should be considered seriously every time you belt on your holster.

Stay safe.

As a former cop. I would have arrested, after two warnings, the guy in the striped shirt for interfering with an officer. You will do better the leave him home.

I got pulled over for eating a hamburger while riding my harley. At first I was grumpy asking him what the HECK! I was going slow and being careful, I just went through a drivethru. It was residential streets and no traffic. But I calmed down real fast when he put his hand on his gun. He got right up into my face and screamed at me. Then he gave me the whole BS nonsense with searching me and checking every little thing. I could have refused I think, but I didn’t want to get thrown down and beaten. He was that angry. I ended up with a ticket for running a stop sign. It was a total lie. I never ran a stopsign. I paid it anyway though. Didn’t feel like taking off work to go to court. There were no witnesses. It was a dark sidestreet. Only me and him. It was pretty scary.

I hear ya. I was beaten up for kicks by a cop.

Mike Terlecki. He was one of James Trafficants foot soldiers when Trafficant was the Sherrif in Mahoning co.

Both those bastards are rotting in the federal pen now.

Bad cops rarely get out clean

Im now in Texas. I sure wish Texas was open carry.

Michigan is Open Carry w/o license but Concealed/carry with permit.

The open carry is a very, very little known fact and thats why you will never see anyone openly carrying a firearm.........in fact I mentioned that to a friend who is a reserve police officer in Roseville and he was shocked. He had absolutely no idea that we have the legal right to openly carry a firearm........

That being the case, I'm not about to create a stir by exercising my right. I do have common sense......

[mamelukesabre]

This cop was young and looked like a skinhead. When he got mad, he suddenly started talking with black ghetto slang, but he was about as white as you possibly can get. I was mortified. I kept looking at his uniform trying to decide if he was a real cop.

Great video! Thank you for the ping :)

[mylife]

I tend to agree. I would be very cautious around a jumpy cop.
I’d rather work it out in court

There are some pinheads out there.
Most cops are pretty cool, but some are in the wrong line of work.

"As a former cop. I would have arrested, after two warnings, the guy in the striped shirt for interfering with an officer. You will do better the leave him home." Really that is an important point in the whole excercise. Cops stepping over the bounds of their authority because they can get away with it. While the guy in the striped shirt was not an articulate advocate his presence and the video kept the cops behaviour in check. \\\\

I support the 2nd amendment as much as anyone. But in the game of real world politics, carrying as an attempt to “educate” I think is more likely to backfire and result in the end of open carry.

[My Favorite Headache]

Well, there was the proper amount of mustached cops on scene! Whew! Thank the Lord for that!

[Copernicus]

Excellent, excellent work.

I have long predicted the arrival of OnStar(TM) Roadside Legal Assistance with recording capabilities.

Your Porcupine 411 seems to have anticipated that service.

It should be made available to everyone.

Best regards,
