This is why I wouldn’t open carry. Too many cops don’t know or care that it’s legal.
For me, education of the police is important. All the more reason to open carry. If they cannot take the time to understand the law, a $10,000 settlement and some mandatory training ought to help.
CT is a ‘Green Star’ state for open carry, which means you may open carry if you have a concealed carry permit.
I just wouldn’t want to try it around Stamford, though. I once asked a cop about concealed carry in my local mall, he walked about 10ft before he started to answer.
