Student’s comment from the YouTube description:
“I was detained by Portland PD officer J McDonald on 26 May 2012. He detains me without suspicion of any criminal activity in violation of Delaware v Prouse. He admits his sole reason for stopping me is my legally carried firearm in violation of US v DeBerry. He seizes my weapon with no reasonable suspicion that I’ve committed a crime in violation of Terry v Ohio. He demands my ID without reasonable suspicion in violation of Hiibel v Nevada”

Too bad you have to be a criminal lawyer to exercise your rights.
Too bad the majority of the USSC doesn’t know the Constitution.
Thanks for the post. I admire this young man’s calm assertiveness. He is my hero of the day on a very bad day.
I believe this was about open carry - not concealed.
Hi Yankee,
Nothing in the Constitution speaks of how our firearms are to be worn. Ergo, we should be able to carry any way we choose!
