I do think that when a private property owner/manager requests an individual to leave, the person should exit immediately with no back talk, threatening, proselytizing or handing out brochures. I don't know what really happened. I might try to get to a hearing/trial if one is in the cards.
duh! thats right, its past Yakima, out in the ‘wine country’.
Bears repeating.
I'm all for legal open carry, and ALL sides should be respectful of the law and the other person's rights, responsibilities and duties.
Martinez wrote that Dohmen "was extremely verbal and was very upset I was taking the firearm from him."
"I said, 'You do not have my permission to do that,' " Dohmen said of the officer taking his legally carried, loaded gun.
This would not have been my personal, preferred response when being legally stopped by uniformed officers.
Seems a bit odd also that when the police arrived, drawn and ready for the worst, that the wife's reaction is to try to get into the car in order to hand the officers some brochures.
Gail Dohmen, 63, said she was upset as she watched what was happening to her husband. She said she tried to grab Open Carry brochures from the car to give the officers but was told to move away or face arrest.
There's a time and a place for this sort of thing, and the middle of a stop like this is not it.
