The police here are looking for a lawsuit for deprevation of rights. Numerous other people carrying openly have received compensation when the department was sued for similar activity.

Clearly, the stop was meant to have a chilling effect on the exercize of the Constitutional right to bear arms.

Please note that I am not writer of the letter.

Here is the youtube video mentioned in the letter:

If what the letter writer states is true, he should sue the police if he hasn’t already.

The dude knew his rights and stood by them peacefully.

If the police in his area are anything like the police in my area, he’s in for some harrassment soon due to his speaking up.

Judgments against the city or the police department are not a deterrent. The judgment will only be paid by the city's insurance company or the taxpayers. It is only when there is specific judgment against individual government officials that this behavior will stop.

This cop and many like him, are assholes and shouldn’t be allowed to carry a gun or suck off the taxpayer for their license to bully.

Last year when they had the fires in Arizona a man I know was forced to evacuate and according to the Sheriff’s department his door was open so they had to enter the residence and investigate. He returned to a note from the sheriff that he had too many guns.

l think I might have added a paragraph noting that, since this had been brought to his attention, the next occurrance would lead to a complaint to the Justice Department against the officer and the entire chain of command up to and including Police Chief himself for “deprevation of rights under color of law”. The city wouldn’t pay, the individuals would pay with time in jail ... and “ignorance of the law” would be no excuse.
