demonhero, did you watch the video? The cops didn't do anything wrong. They got a call about a guy walking down the street with a rifle slung over his shoulder, they investigated. They found out the guys weren't bad (stupid maybe, but not bad), and they let them go.

He doesn't need a practical reason.

No problem with a LEO coming up to check on me. No need for the cop to threaten to shoot anyone in the head. (as noted in the article when you click the link)

I don't think it's a regular situation, and thus, lends itself to the imagination of everyday citizens about the practical reasoning for having a rifle on your shoulder. People don't know this guy's sanity or intentions. |

You're correct, which is why the officers let him go. But when police get calls about someone walking down the road with a rifle, they have an obligation to investigate. They did, they let them go, but not before telling them he thought it was not a smart choice - and the cop was right.

I agree that this is legal and the two gentlemen weren't breaking any laws, but I also want the cops to stop them and ensure that they have their CCW and that they don't pose any threat to innocent people. I saw nothing wrong in that video from either side.

Congrats, it is within your rights to do so but you are also a stupid ****ing idiot if you think this represents practical use of 2nd amendment gun rights.

I also thought that was a bit much, but understand the officer's POV, so I don't think it's out of the question for him to explicitly detail how every action has a reaction. That said, would the cop have really gone for the headshot? I figure he'd go for two in the chest...

I am not responsible for the imagination of other citizens. Mind you, I don't carry my rifle around town, but I have zero problem with a legal citizen who is abiding the law going about his own business.

Cell in his hand, rifle strapped over his back. Other guy sounded like he had one concealed.
