They’re not IN Oklahoma. First line of the story.
I said they were from Oklahoma ... :-) ...
And when states respect each other laws regarding carrying guns — you DO have to be authorized in your home state, when traveling. And, of course, the other state has to respect the law concerning you carrying that weapon.
Right, also not known is what did the person who called into the police say was happening which caused the police to respond the way they did?
I'm all for giving the police shit when they deserve it, but that requires knowing both sides of the story (ie: "what was said by the person who called into the police?")
Agree the cop was overly-aggressive in the beginning ("your papers please!") beyond that though it seemed like he was doing his job. What most people don't know/understand is that once an officer has your ID in his hand, he's required to run a check for any outstanding warrants, and detain you on the spot if there are.
At least that's what happens here in das People's Socialist RepuliK of Illinois.......
