Just about everyone I know back home carries. Only a moron would display their sidearm in public. The consequences should be readily apparent; though not to Mr. Pellitier. After reading the original story, what struck me was that if the person grabbing him had been a "bad guy" instead of a policeman, Mr. Pellitiercould well have had his own weapon used against him.
The pistol certainly didn't seem to offer any protection against the assault in the bookstore. Not that anyone expects to be assaulted in a bookstore.

Y'all shouldn't post about a good pistol without giving the curious a picture of it to drool over.

Where do you find a DA willing to enforce the Code?

Well if they just hit him in the back of the head with an encyclopedia the gun would have been useless to both of the parties. Still got to be prepared.

He has asked us NOT to do anything, as he has retained legal counsel.

The police are calling it an "internal matter" and last I heard, are refusing to provide the tapes, and have instructed the manager of the bookstore not to talk to him or his lawyer.

In Idaho, a concealed carry is exactly that... It must be concealed. If someone saw it, it must have not been concealed.
I don't know if it's the same in Vermont, but in Idaho the fact that someone saw it would probably end your lawsuit.

He had a permit. Open carry is allowed in his state.

That's why it's important that cops don't go around assaulting armed citizens and trying to take their guns.
And that's why these rogue officers need to find another line of work.

Where do you find a DA willing to enforce the Code? Good point. The laws don't apply to the ruling class and their protectors.

Alright - for those of us who are slow OR await openings...
Private citizens need to be discreet. Okay?

Why?
He was minding his own business, and exercising one of his rights.
He wasn't the one with the problem.

"but officers and detectives issued a barrage of questions about why he carries a gun and what kind of training he had" If his training consisted only of potty training, it was obviously better than what these police had.

In Wyoming open carry is legal and doesn't get a second look.
