In some states, such as Texas, open carry is illegal, and a CCW holder can be charged with a misdemeanor for failing to conceal his or her firearm. That's not the case in New Hampshire.

I understand that and I wish you well if you choose to pursue a case against them. You will have done those officers a favor even if they are fired. What they did was reckless and dangerous to themselves as well as others.

If Tenx isn't just lying through his teeth he had better keep his do-gooder approach in a state where the law backs up his piety. It won't go over well in other western states that I am familiar with like CO, NM, WY, UT, MT, ID and others. What he would get from me is an ear full. What he might get from some of the characters I've known is an unscheduled tour of an abandoned mine shaft.

Mike, Don't worry so much about "condition white". A lot of people are always wanting to make the good guy out to be wrong some way, so that they can reassure themselves that "it could never happen to them".

I really want to thank you for the way you handled the situation and the response you made afterward. We need more people like you who are willing to stand up for their rights. Ideally, we would have teams of volunteers (some with guns, some with video cameras), making citizen "sting" operations with the object of stopping this type of violent abuse by sworn police officers.

Those officers violated their oath of office, and should be fired, IMHO. At the minimum, you should get legal fees and some valuta to teach them a valuable lesson.

Thanks again for the good work, don't dwell on the mildly negative aspects, you have every right to be both offended by the police conduct, and proud of your own.
