I would certainly fault the officers for running his ID. If open carry is legal, they had ZERO right to stop him since he was not doing anything illegal. So what if there are psychos out there? Psychos drive cars, too -- does that make it legal to stop every car and ask the driver if he's a psycho? Psychos sometimes poison people. Can an LEO take you aside the enxt time you buy rat poison at the hardware store and grill you for half an hour about who you plan to kill with it, on the grounds that psychos sometimes use rat poison?I don't think i would fault the officers for running his ID while they held onto his gun, you never know what kind of psychos are running around out there. It should've ended at "sorry for the trouble, you just looked a little conspicuous.. can't be too careful."
I'm all for open carry rights and think it should be as socially acceptable as chewing gum, but I do get a little wierded out when I see somone walking down the street that is openly packing heat and I don't see a badge. Until I can be carrying I think i'll always feel a bit uneasy about that stuff.
I don't think so.
And since when does selling beer in cans or bottles constitute "serving" alcohol? "Serving" is dispensing into an open cut or glass and handing it to to the customer (or placing it on the bar or table in front of them) for on-site consumption. "Selling" is not "serving."
I would not be overly careful about who to complain to. Send the same letter to everybody you can think of.
