I understand his fight, but I think I would have just shown the ID and been done with it. This seems like fuel for morons and problems for cops.

There are numerous individuals who wish to take the law to the nth degree, drag a camera out, hoping for an encounter. Just makes the sane gun owners look bad and they group us all together....

 

The guy wasn't trying to tackle him and say that he couldn't carry it. He wanted to get his ID, (which I don't really have a problem with). That cop will forever have a bad taste in his mouth tough, and this is one of those things that helps build that "Them VS Us" attitude which helps nobody.

Agreed. I appreciate the fact that the guy seems to know his case law, but he was obviously looking for a confrontation, and found it. He leaves the scene looking like a douche bag. And the cop now probably hates all people who choose to open carry. A better solution probably would have been to cooperate for the sake of cooperation (right or wrong) and then used it as an educational session for the cop. Would have gone over much more smoothly IMO.

Here's all I heard:

 

Cop - "I'm responding to numerous calls and would like to maintain control of your gun for my own safety."

 

Guy - "I'm a dick, don't touch my shit."

 

Cop - "Ok, I'm just..."

 

Guy interrupts - "I'm a dick, you pointed that at me. I'm a dick."

 

Cop - "Ok, I'm just..."

 

Guy interrupts - "I'm a dick, you picked the wrong dick to fuck with. Please, allow me to condescendingly tell you all about my rights. I'm a dick."

open carry = you can still be arrested for educing panic... it will most likely be tossed out in court. however it is a good arrest.

 

Huh? That's like saying you could be arrested for walking down the street dressed as a clown, carrying a bundle of balloons, because a good number of people are scared of clowns and/or balloons.

 

You might get arrested, but it would be a wrongful arrest.

The cops had the right to arrest him for inducing panic. even though he would not likely be convicted of it in court.

 

That depends entirely on state law and the current attorney general of a given state. In short, you're wrong. For a longer response, I'll let Austin go to town. I would advise against making generalizations like that as they are often incorrect.

Actually...if you have the firearm properly holstered you cannot be charged for that.

2917.31 Inducing panic.

 

(A) No person shall cause the evacuation of any public place, or otherwise cause serious public inconvenience or alarm

 

If people are getting scared because he is walking around with a gun it IS a justifiable arrest.

To my knowledge in order to be arrested for inducing a panic you have to be breaking a law first.

 

In Ohio there are three things which can get you that charge:

 

(A) No person shall cause the evacuation of any public place, or otherwise cause serious public inconvenience or alarm, by doing any of the following:

 

(1) Initiating or circulating a report or warning of an alleged or impending fire, explosion, crime, or other catastrophe, knowing that such report or warning is false;

 

(2) Threatening to commit any offense of violence;

 

(3) Committing any offense, with reckless disregard of the likelihood that its commission will cause serious public inconvenience or alarm.

 

Keep in mind, open carry is not specifically provided for in Ohio law.

Maybe cite the rest of the code. After all, the next part is what actually makes the law do something. :dumb: Creative editing simply doesn't work with legal matters.

Actually Ohio is getting better at not responding to "man with gun" calls and asking more questions such as, "what is he doing with the gun?" Then responding with, "people are allowed to have guns here."

 

Also inducing panic can be charged, but it takes a lot more than having a gun and one or two concerned citizens to make it stick.
