Looks like a very clear case. I suspect the city will settle.

[corkoman]

the settlement should also include a “continuing education” course for all Zoo employees to ensure this does not happen again.

—After he left, according to the police report, zoo staff told the officers that Magenheimer’s attitude was intimidating —

Was that before or after the staff and police told him to stop doing something that he had every right to do. Were they intimidating him first?

I fear the armed man who hides his weapon; far more than I fear the man with his weapon holstered, in plain view.

One man is a potential threat, the other a potential hero.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

:: When one of the officers asked him to conceal the weapon, the man refused and “started getting loud and causing a scene,” according to the report ::

Well, YEAH!

The officer asked this guy to violate the concealed carry rules in Indiana. I’d get obnoxious too!

Do these same city libtards go apeshiite when they see a police officer who is carrying unconcealed? Do they scream in dire fear if they see a police detective (who is typically dressed in street clothes) wearing an unconcealed fire arm?

Fricking IDIOTS!
