1. A CHL holder is asked by a LEO to show him his CHL, the request being made only because he is open carrying, what happens if he refuses to show his CHL? I'm interested to know what the LEO might do, and how it might be handled by the DA/court if the LEO makes an arrest.

I'm especially interested in hearing opinions from LEOs and attorneys.

I am not an LEO or attorney, but my guess is that you would be arrested.

Your charges would probably be dismissed after you were bailed out from jail and your attorney went to court to plead your case.

Meanwhile your CHL would be suspended until the charges were dismissed.

And you would likely never recover the money spent on your defense.

There is not law that says you have to let everyone in your business, but nobody that I know of tells customers of a certain race to leave a publicly open business anymore, because of these protesters. Therefore, if any of y'all want to do an open carry demonstration someplace that is 30.06 posted but not 30.07 posted by open carrying, I will buy y'all pizza. Free pizza with a topping. Up to 24 slices for the first 24 protesters.

Be sure to call the news crews out before y'all show up INSIDE the posted location.

If you get unlawfully arrested after committing no crime, I'll even pay your bail for the first person arrested. (unlawfully arrested means you have committed no crime and you're arrested) This offer is not valid if you are disrespectful to a police officer (cussing, name calling, etc).

Oh and it's for after 1/1/16, of course. Preferably in Whole Foods.

This type of stuff is exactly what we don't need.
