re: Cop stands up to gun nut in Texas.

Here's the issue I see:
He violated no laws even after he was questioned and subsequently illegally detained (in my mind).
The officer was calm, cool and collected and went through what he thought was the proper protocol but it turns out he had no legal right to do what he did.
If all of you people feel so strongly that he shouldn't have the right bear arms and that that right should NOT be infringed, then work to get the laws changed. Just because the Supreme Court ruled that something is unconstitutional doesn't mean that can't be changed if the citizenry wishes.
As it stands now, this individual didn't need to identify (in Texas)even his name nor submit to questioning. And should never have been detained. That's 100% the law.

i think you misunderstand the opposition. No one(or very few) thinks he violated any laws. Attention whoring in public with guns is simply a bad idea, and has the potential to get non-gun owners in such a froth, that they might push to get laws passed that actually do affect our right to bear arms. Or it might get you shot, if someone views you as a legitimate threat. Perhaps a better question is, what did he accomplish positively by walking around town open carrying?
