[QUOTE="excat, post: 2195355, member: 29449"] Public and private are 2 completely different scenarios. If you were on private land/dwelling, I'll tell them to skip rocks unless they had probable cause. If you are in the general public, I do think it is different, and apparently someone called in, giving some questions of probable cause. In a state that allows open carry, either people aren't used to it yet, and then you are giving people a reason to have fear of it with actions like that, or you were doing something to draw negative attention to yourself in the first place that made people question your actions. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation for both the LEO and the individual. Do you really expect if you were a LEO doing your job and you get a call that someone has a gun at XXX location, you aren't going to verify they are eligible to carry said weapon? Is that not their job, to verify the good guys have the guns, and the bad guys don't? I didn't see in the OP WHY the LEO was contacted in the first place, as in if he were causing a disturbance, etc. [/QUOTE]
