the above paragraph has got Joe deadnuts.....I'm sure that any lawyer present will agree
At best, that line gives a cop and excuse to hassle Joe. In court, once the absurdity of the fact that line, if not carefully limited to situations amounting to brandishing - or nearly so, would prohibit all open carry is presented, the case would be over.
the circling of the table twice with the piece in their faces is not "in a manner calculated to alarm;"
Please! I'm a layman, and I'm sure I could convince a jury to convict Joe......"ca;culated to alarm" is exactly what he did.......the only question is how long did he sit there calculating before he decided to alarm the kids.
