Every time someone walks down the street with a long gun and gets accosted by LE for doing so, it's a de facto prohibition because it has the effect of making people decide run-ins with irrational power-trippers isn't worth the exercise of one's rights.
No answer for these?
And out of place is sufficient on its own for a stop and frisk? Holy Hell, I'm never eating in a mixed demographic neighborhood again.
Barging in and screaming "Who's got the AR?" and waving it around like a lunatic while yelling at the manager "You don't want them in here with this, do you?" is not power-tripping? Okay. Would you settle for asinine? Irrational? Can you at least acknowledge it was unprofessional?
The 9-1-1 call what?
For a MWAG call, why would the police assume the person with the gun is a criminal? It is not a crime to have the gun. There is report of the person doing anything criminal while in possession of the gun. Help us understand why then the police treat the MWAG like a criminal.
^This^ right here. Don't think for a minute the way that some police conduct these types of "investigations" aren't meant to be done intentionally in such an unpleasent ("unprofessional") manner as possible to act as a deterrent to discourage someone from doing something legally, like carrying a long gun or OC'ing a handgun.
Nope. But it would be reasonable based on the premise that they are required to investigate the circumstances.
Your post that I was responding to was over simplifying the situation as described in the OP as simply "talking to a policeman" and you characterized the reaction as "some of us are acting like talking to a policeman is akin to being sent to the ovens"
temper troubles?
