And what was the LEO's reasonable suspicion of a crime in this case? Is it the just fact that he had a gun? Is that all that's needed?
Like it or not the answer to your question is a resounding YES that is all the officer needed.
The officers were called to the store on a report of 2 individuals handling weapons inside a convenience store. Upon arrival the police witnessed the individual bend over exposing a gun in his pants.
If you read the case or the appeal you would already know that concealed carry of a weapon is expressly ILLEGAL by the state statute. Possession of a ccw permit doesn't change the law, its only an admissible and affirmitative defense to noncompliance.
This same exemption holds true in most states with a CCW law.
So yes dumbass witnessing the guy carrying a concealed gun absolutely is enough to detain and disarm him under Terry laws and the 4th Amendment. Had you bothered to read the appeals result you would know that.
