Do we not have a right to be armed on our own property anymore? So what if I may have a weapon in my pocket, in my driveway? It’s none of the cop’s business, unless he has a damn warrant.
Depends where you live, though we should have the right to be armed everywhere.
The cop has the authority to tell you to keep your hands where he can see them. All law abiding citizens will immediately comply with such instructions for the safety of all involved. If you fail to do so you are behaving just like a street thug.
“Do we not have a right to be armed on our own property anymore? “
Actually, under current California (read effed up) law, you may only be armed on your property if it’s fenced and has gates to prevent unfettered access.
