Keep in mind the cop said if the person make a move towards the gun he would shoot him in the head. To me, that is just a fair warning.

I had a cop tell me one time, in a semi-joking way when my car was broken into and I called him to take a report, "if you keep your gun in it's holster, I'll do the same". My response was "Likewise". He gave me a knowing smile and we moved on with my report knowing where we both stood with one another. He wasn't in for taking any junk and neither was I at the moment.

He and got along real well and he dusted for prints and did all he was supposed to do and I appreciated his assistance.
So let us see, if LEO can threaten my life and he is entitled to it. As citizen, I would say the same, Do not touch your rifle and I will not touch mine. The LEO had a full-auto M4 slung, no?

Let me know when you are ready. I am going to rig my pressure cooker with a sling to make it easier to throw over my shoulder. I am also going to give it a camo paint job. :smilelol5:

Please for your own sanity, do not visit Lebanon, the country that is. You will see "guys" with RPGs, AAA mounted on their trucks and few 40-rockets Grad launchers. :patriot:

The only issue I have with the head shot is a higher probability of missing. I live in Plano and bet the cops here would have you face down on the ground and in cuffs under the exact same situation.

I have an idea, maybe we could talk ole Beiruty into giving it a try. I will volunteer to video it. :biggrinjester:

Yeah, I would be slinging this one:

Who said anyone was afraid? It's a matter of common sense and proper setting. The lack of both of the aforementioned will ensure that we lose the right to exercise said right with common sense in the correct setting.
Other than:
1) going hunting
2) going to the range
3) going to/from car/home

I do not see long firearms ever carried openly.
And, all 1) 2) 3) have specific exceptions for open carry of handguns as well as long firearms.

Is this the common-sense open-carry of long-firearms?

Re: Open carry "contact" by hot headed LEO.

I do not know about what is the law where the contact happened. However, in Texas a Police officer can disarm a CHLer.
If the officer in the video was concerned about his safety, he could have temporally disarmed the citizen and returned his firearm after the stop.

In any case, there was no crime committed by open carrier of long gun. So, what is the point from the stop?

Open carry "contact" by hot headed LEO.

I do not know what to judge this contact. Is it harassment? Is it like the prevailing attitude of our folks here that peaceful open carry of long guns is counter-productive for 2nA rights?

I would say, if I have the right to say "Allahu Akbar" anywhere I am as I am exercising my 1A right. Will I got the call to 5-0?
Will I got the same lesson from a hot-headed LEO?
