Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Open carry legal here - but no matter, you'll get arrested anyway

You don't have to go easy on me I am a big boy.

Dink

Wrong, again, il douche.

That guy has been made, and easily so by his own actions, to be a complete flake and disavowed/disowned by every pro-gun organization out there, and most of his family.

Which would correlate to your affinity for him. Birds of a feather?

George is known, personally, to MANY here. Including myself.

I can and will personally vouch for him being of the HIGHEST caliber. I'd easily trust him with my life, or that of my wife or daughter. I'm far from being the only one to hold him in that regard.

I doubt that you've EVER known, or EVER will know, anyone who'd pay you the same compliment.

It is not up to you or the police to determine what a 'good quality holster is' that will never pass muster as it leaves too much for interpretation.

Quote from the City of Madison......Officers should verify that the firearm is not stolen, and attempt to verify that the person possessing the firearm is not legally barred from doing so (as a felon, due to an injunction, etc.). However, someone who has been detained is not legally obligated to provide identification to officers if no criminal ordinance violations have occurred. A person who refuses to provide identification should not be arrested for obstructing; however, if probable cause for another offense exists the suspect should be arrested for that offense and can then be identified during the citation or booking process.

Save it for your cell mate, Jethro.

And he was in a red state so of course going against the flow indicates he is crazy. Much like the 2003 drug bill is not an act of socialism in the minds of (R) zealots and the 1989 & 2005 (R) based semi-auto bans are perfectly ok according to the (R) faithful.

you big meanie......sniff...sniff...

Dink

George was defending DINK's honor and that is all I need to know about George.

You may be trainable yet. I agree that the cops were betwixt a rock and a hard place. There are few places in most towns that dudes carrying guns openly would go unnoticed.

They were legal and shouldn't have been bothered.

I do hope some racists pay attention to the police having to respond to every call BS and start calling in their complaints about a minority sitting down in their favorite restaurant full of decent white folk so we can sit back and see what a law suit really looks like when DINK, Hunter, and a few others go charging in to see what those uppity ************* are up to.

Like a month suspension with no pay.......



We had a very similar thread a couple years ago--some guy walking down the street with his rifle slung.

Interesting to see issac and Stevers haven't come out to defend the police this time around.........must be a change of heart going on.



Casey

This occurred in the very liberal state of WI. Change it to an (R) strong hold and the cops could have shot the 5 guys on sight and the gang here would have been cheering them on saying the 5 guys had it coming.

Court rules in favor of cop in fatal shooting

September 21, 2010 12:00 AM | 55 views | 0 | 2 | | ATLANTA - Georgia's top court has ruled in favor of a former Atlanta police officer who sought immunity after being charged with murder in the shooting of a 19-year-old.

The state Supreme Court on Monday upheld by 6-1 a lower court ruling in favor of Raymond Bunn, who claimed he was acting in self-defense when he shot Corey Ward in a parking lot in 2002 while investigating a report of a vehicle break-in.

Bunn contended that Ward was driving the SUV straight at him when Bunn shot at the window, hitting Ward twice in the left side of his head.

Prosecutors said Bunn was not directly in front of the vehicle, which belonged to Ward's mother, when he fired.

The Supreme Court majority ruled that the preponderance of evidence favored Bunn's story, despite conflicting evidence.

Chief Justice Carol Hunstein said in the opinion that nothing in the preponderance of evidence standard "requires the elimination of all fact disputes as a matter of law."

The court upheld a ruling by Superior Court Judge Henry Newkirk, who found that Bunn "reasonably would have held the perception that the driver of the vehicle would not stop, and that he posed an imminent threat to his life and physical well being."

In his dissent, Justice Robert Benham wrote that the only thing that is known is that Bunn killed Ward by shooting him twice on the left side of his head.

"Not only does the affirmation of the trial court's decision deprive Corey Ward's family of their day in court and the citizens of a public trial of this controversy, but this decision will also make it more difficult to prosecute law enforcement officers who are alleged to have used excessive and/or deadly force in the apprehension of suspected criminals," Benham wrote.

Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard issued a statement concurring with Benham's dissent.

"Today, I have the painful task of discussing this matter with Corey Ward's family members," Howard added.

"One of the topics of discussion is the appropriate next steps. My office is immediately filing a motion for reconsideration with the Georgia Supreme Court."

"Additionally, we are exploring our options with the United States Supreme Court. We believe this is a federal issue that should be of great concern to the people of this country," Howard said.

Bunn's attorney, Manny Arora, did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment.

Be sure and read the quote by Justice Benham above.

I quit reading this some pages back, but I can tell ya this.
It is a good thing to read more and more of folks wearing guns in public. At least to me but then seeing some one with a gun doesn't rattle me.

And your opinion is supposed to mean schit to me?

Those who know me know what I stand for. Don't worry, I'll still be the guy standing between you and the those who would trample your rights when things go bad. Some of us run towards trouble while folks like you talk about it on the 'net and pizz your pants.

George

Yeah, I have heard that one before and there was a short time there that I almost believed it. Feel free to keep sticking up for DINK every time he indicates his desire to run rough shod over everyone just so more people are aware of where you stand.

Folks here know where I stand regardless of how you want to twist things. I can disagree with another (cop or not) on issues and still have an idea where they stand. Further, I don't have to defend Dink or anybody else. They can all stand on their own feet.

Dink, by his own admission, sometimes doesn't get things across the way he means. In the end, whether you believe it or not, I don't believe he's the type of cop that's gonna go in on confiscation.

There, more people can read my words and judge them.

George

How can you not have legal, unregulated, AND protected open carry and still say that the 2nd Amendment hasn't been trashed?

Did the founding fathers only want concealed carry?

Think about it.

Thanks for the good words George. As I have said before I am not the most well spoken guy but I have a opinion of how this should have went like everyone else.

I have really enjoyed this thread and lively debate it brought.

I will not longer participate though because I can not stand the thought of JasonB touching himself while reading post made directly to him by real policeman. I don't mind the those of you think the police over step or don't really care for the police and share that opinion but JasonB is a worthless troll and has nothing to add to the argument of how this should have went.

I am sure I still deserve a few gigs so you can PM them to me......

I will be on the next "some cop done someone wrong thread" if JasonB is not involved.

Dink

That's it. I'm outta this thread. I'm not with jasonb and don't support any of his views. Right now, if I had to choose between him and DINK for a neighbor, I'd choose DINK.
