The second and third proposals are slippery slopes for abuse ......

Rest assured that if these two are adopted they will indeed be abused by prosecutors and LEOs in the more progressive jurisdictions. No deal on these two. Let them go pound sand. We should instead be pushing for constitutional carry like Arizona and some other states have done.

2:Change "probable cause" to "reasonable suspicion" of a crime before stopping or investigating people openly carrying firearms

3:Including immunity for police officers conduct investigations allowed by law

“Reasonable Suspicion” is the current standard for stopping anyone, not just a gun carrier.

The immunities mentioned already exist for other areas of the law.

Perhaps law enforcement immunity should be dialed back somewhat, but I believe that the ubiquity of digital recording devices is solving that problem.

I can’t say I disagree with your assessment and opinion on Constitutional carry as practiced in other states. Assuming you live in FL by the nature of your comments, I would point out that FL has become Far South Bronx thus influencing how far legislation can go. This is especially prevalent in your LE community where some have created second careers after retiring from Yankee-land.
