How could the operator know if they were carrying legally? They could have been felons, that’s why the ID check.
That’s like saying every black person is a welfare scammer. Well he’s carrying a gun he must be a felon. BS. Just ninny libs in Madison.
Carrying is NOT “probable cause”!
Anybody at any time “could be a felon”, or in the country illegally....

Have you ever heard of presumption of innocence? We don't have to prove we're obeying the law. They have to prove we're not. There was no probable cause here.
In the history of our country concealed carry was generally frowned upon since a concealer, unless of known good character, likely had a nefarious reason to conceal. Honest, law-abiding people usually chose to carry openly. There was no question of intent to commit a crime since they obviously were not trying to hide the fact that they were armed.
