The lawsuit is well and good, but what should also go forward is a recall campaign against the sheriff (the two named in the suit are simply deputies), or to defeat him/her at the next election. The sheriff has the responsibility as to see that his deputies PROPERLY understand and execute the law.
Just unbelievable! If a Georgia firearms license does not specify open carry only, or concealed carry only, then it MUST be a license to carry both ways.
If that’s the case, the .45 in his waistband holster was legal. The 9mm in the zippered case—legal. No brandishing, no disorderly conduct, co-operating with LEO’s. In other words, a law-abiding citizen doing everything properly.
It appears the only ones breaking the law were the officers who arrested him. Here’s hoping his lawsuit results in justice for him, and something more than “Oops, sorry about that” from the police.
