It most certainly is giving up a right. If it wasn't a right, the officer wouldn't have asked permission. You may certainly choose to do so and consent to a search - but you are relinquishing a right by doing so.
THe problem is not so much that they made a "Terry" stop, but the escalation to a 45 minute handcuffed detention without probable cause. They SPENT that time trying to develope/manufacture probable cause. That the officers are ignorant of the law or opposed to open carry is beside the point...
So we spend more time criticizing the victims rather than those who have violated their rights?
In your world, the exercise of what other right(s) should be treated in such a matter by the government?
Mandatory for what - simply exercising a constitutional right? Who would administer/track such testing. How would it be enforced? NO TO MANDATORY TRAINING. If a private range wants to make a safety class mandatory for membership that is another matter and is fine.
I don't know if they have been mentioned (didn't see them) but:
The Wild Bunch, and
Extreme Prejudice (with an amazing if brief performance by Rip Torn)
