I hope it helps, and wish there was more we could do.

The Police show up with their Glocks at low ready and ask said citizen if he's armed. Yes, he says, and I have a CHL. They disarm him (for their personal safety, they felt threatened!) and take him downtown for an intentional exposure charge. After about 12 hours, they tell the citizen is was a misunderstanding, and he's free to go. The weapon has to stay here for 30 days. Still think SB299 is a big advance?

I dont intended to be argumentative here, just inquisitive.
If I may.... can you post a cite or link to an actual case this of anything like it has actually happened?

It's brought up often... used as a reason to support open carry... and yet, I've never met a person so charged... never met a LEO who has arrested or detained a person so accused.. Never seen a court case report of a person charged for an event like depicted above.

If someone has had a MWG call made on them, been detained and arrested, then charged or not and had his gun confiscated for 30 days.. i would love to speak with them, or read the first hand account, read the court report, arrest report... As all things are possible, i'm sure this has happened , someplace, at some time... But it would seem to be a rare event at best.


Thanks
