speedytriple Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Yeah thats a lot of reading! I know I am not gonna try to OC here in cleveland. Can you say don't taze me bro? I have been hassled for conceal carry by the local park rangers, would hate to see how they react to open carry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokey Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 If you have a professional encounter with a Park Ranger' date=' you're required by law to inform them that you're armed.[/quote']That is a good point, but we are allowed to carry concealed in state parks and rest areas so the officer should have no reason to feel uneasy or give his opinion when no laws are being broken. Why talking to a Ranger anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokey Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Who do you think pulls you over for speeding on a motorcycle in a park? Also' date=' since when does common sense and application of law dictate how an officer will react to anything?[/quote']Didn't read that he got pulled over by a Ranger for speeding in a Park, but yeah that would do it. There are lots of good law enforcement out there and I know a few of them, but just like anything else, all idiots no matter who they are or what they do tend to trump the good ones.

idodishez Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 If you do open carry do not ever touch that gun unless your in danger and ready to draw in view of anyone not even to adjust it or making sure it is still there that action may cause you serious problems with the LEO's. If your someone that has a habit of adjusting your weapon when carrying I would suggest you do not open carry. Someone sees you touch it you may very well end up charged with inducing panic and spending big $$$ in attorney fees.I'm constantly adjusting it. Guess I'm not an OC candidate. Maybe it's because I have yet to find a holster that is really comfortable. NoBama 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idodishez Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 The flip side of that coin is a visible gun will deterost criminals at first sight.I honestly can't tell sometimes if you are drunk posting or if your auto correct just really sucks.

idodishez Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I'd risk the misdemeanor in certain situations. I'd avoid any situation that risked a felony.That was my stance too until someone brought up the fact that it would also likely mean a revocation of your CHLNoBama 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) If it is concealed how did the rangers even know you were carrying?Got pulled over on the dual sport, ranger wanted to make sure it was street legal. I informed him I had a ccw on me, he was a little set back and kinda gave me a hard time about riding a bike with a weapon on my person. I informed him that it was legal for me to do so, guess he did not like me telling him the law? After two trips back to his car and 15 mins he let me go. No speeding but the park rangers don't like when I ride my "dirt bike" that's all muddy around the park. Guess they think I was riding off road in the park?

And I am always carrying one of my pistols when I ride, I would have a Winchester model 1887 mounted for the bike like the terminator had if I could.
