“Ideally the establishment would be posted, but it’s still trespass for an individual (except law enforcement) to carry when privately restricted.”
Its only trespass after he’s notified they aren’t allowed and then its armed trespass. Thats assuming there is not an appropriate notice on the entrance.
I wasn’t there but it seems reckless. I’ve been in similar situations and a lot can be done without drawing the weapon. The undercover cop could have responded differently and escalated it dramatically.
Having a weapon does not make a person bad. They are bad regardless. If CCW holders start seeing possession itself as a threat then the anti’s are just a short generation away from a full ban.
A minor technicality that you would have to get by a jury of 12, and which doesn't apply if the establishment sells any kind of alcoholic beverage.
The undercover cop could have responded differently and escalated it dramatically.
Sort of like a criminal, eh? Providing further evidence of irresponsibility on his part, and justifying the need for the property owner to defend himself.
If CCW holders start seeing possession itself as a threat then the anti’s are just a short generation away from a full ban.
Twisted logic. The stats still stand: When private citizens or police pull guns for defense (with or without CCW) the police are six times more likely to shoot the wrong (innocent) person.
Hardly an acceptable reason to disarm any citizen.
