Agreed on this video...but to hear some people here talk..the police have no right to even ask them what they are doing. In this day and age, they should expect the public to call police. It takes respect from all involved. I am aware it is illegal for felons to own firearms. But on this forum, since open carry should elicit NO police response, there is no way to actually find out if the person is a felon in the first place...
If a person is open carrying in a state where it is legal, the police have no business stopping anyone, or asking any questions. They don’t have to like it, but it’s Constitutional, which they are bound to uphold.
Personally, I think it should be legal for “felons” to open carry too, after they have served their sentence.
I do not think anyone is saying that they cannot look, though after a little bit, looking will be considered just unnecessary.
If you look at places where rifles are routinely carried in public by people who are not in uniforms (Israel, Switzerland) there are no downsides.
I doubt that open carrying AR-15s would help Islamicists to carry out a terrorist act. It would draw attention to them that they could easily avoid by keeping the weapons concealed until just before use.
