I understand removing a questionable fella away from the action if he had a gun on his hip. But charging him with “disorderly conduct” seems unecessary. If it was legal to carry the gun in plain sight, there was no threanening behavior, and he cooperated with the police, what was disorderly about it?
Yep. He broke no laws.
However...those of us who carry would rather that no one knows that we are carrying.
To our advantage.
“But charging him with “disorderly conduct” seems unecessary.”
They have to charge him with something to justify removing him from the area...or tasing/shooting him.
I’m not sure what the “disorderly conduct” threshold is, but I’d guess in some circumstances it’s not immediately doing whatever the nice officer tells you to do.
