Message: <blockquote data-quote="vvvvvvv" data-source="post: 1490141" data-attributes="member: 5151">As written, SB129 presumes that a person is legally carrying a firearm if they are carrying it openly in a holster and appear 18 or over, just like if you are carrying a firearm while hunting.That means that openly carrying a firearm pursuant to that measure could not be used as probable cause for detainment and/or processing. Would an officer try? I'm sure there are some. But from what I know, the threat of a lawsuit for misconduct versus the loss of a job for whoever authorized or encouraged such action tends to result in the department leaning toward cutting a job or two as an at-will employer or under another part of their union contract.</blockquote>
