Re: Fla: Conceal Carry Holder Arrested for Incidental Exposu

So we are in agreement that the victim followed the laws in his state right? (as far as notifying the LEO or not)
And that He was doing so calmly and without cause for alarm.. right?

So Id ask that we STOP applying Texas law and good tips for a stop HERE, and look at this from a Florida perspective.

The Guy followed the FL law, the Guy followed the LEO's orders...

Sure if he had without lawful requirement informed the LEO he had a permit and weapon things MIGHT have gone differently, or might not have.
If he had not had a weapon at all it might have gone differently.
If he had left it in a secure box, unloaded, in the back it might have gone differently..

But the point is.. he was following both the law and the LEOs orders...and still this happened.. Yes it started with whatever RS or PC the LEO had for the stop and got worse with what appears to be an unintentional unconceal of a weapon by a permit holder. But to BLAME this event on the permit holder, is akin to blaming a rape victim that went to the club at night, had a few drinks, wore a short dress.. and then was raped on the way home...

At the same time I understand, the victim has some responsibility.. he did after all choose to legally carry a gun.. had he not, this video never would have happened. And he did fail to conceal, that also is his responsibility.
