I, for one, appreciate law enforcement for checking out scary hairy dudes with guns, no matter the flavor.
Amen.
I appreciate them checking, cautiously, but appropriately and politely. I do not appreciate them arresting for handling firearms. There is nothing inherently disorderly about carrying or handling a rifle. Unless there is something missing from the story, the police crossed the line from law enforcement "to protect and to serve" to Gestapo.
The "checking" part was fine ... it was the "arresting" part that should have you worried. How are you going to like it when they decide to arrest you because they don't like something that you're doing that's legal to do?
I don’t mind either.
I do mind them arresting them for exercising their 2A rights and trying to slap disorderly conduct charges on them for exercising their 2A rights.
I hope they get their asses sued off. This is not a soviet police state.
