When you entered a frontier town in the west, you were legally required to leave your guns at the stables on the outskirts of town or drop them off with the sheriff, who would give you a token in exchange. The shootout at the OK Corral was technically law enforcement attempting to enforce the ban of no guns in Tombstone.

The guy was already doing a good job of that on his own....

I have a 2 part question for you:
1. What if a person dressed up in a black trench coat and stood 1001 feet from an elementary school while carrying 2 AR-15's and just stared at the kids playing on the playground while pacing back and forth. They wouldn't be breaking any laws, should the police come up and ask for ID?
2. If you said yes why? If you said no, and the person ended up shooting all of the kids, should the police be liable for not doing anything?
This. If you're going to ask me questions that you already have come to a conclusion of how it ends then I'm not going to dignify either question with an answer. I'm sorry, I was already married once.

these open carry idiots do more harm than good to guns rights
I would think so. Most people aren't comfortable with a possibly loaded weapon being used as a tool to inspire discussion RE: constitutional rights. Seems like only a matter of time before one of these guys gets shot by another armed citizen who considered himself to be in imminent danger.
A strange man wandering around with something that just appears to be a loaded weapon was recently gunned down when someone called it in to the police. He turned out to be just a kid with a toy weapon in that case so the danger wasn't as severe as believed but the "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" mantra seems more apt for these guys than just about any other case I can imagine.

If Texas allowed open carry of handguns there wouldn't be so many of these videos on YouTube.

The guy carrying the gun is an idiot looking for attention.
Still, he is not as bad as the Left Wing terrorist who destroyed Ferugson by looting and arson.

Should people with CCW permits be stopped when cops can tell they are carrying?
I notice evidence of concealed guns all the time here in Louisiana. I see them all the time at events downtown. Almost always white males between the ages of 30 and 55. Should cops detain them just to make sure
Still no answer to this..

The law is probable cause and cops can't just do you know "whatever" they want!

No and no wtf would showing an ID do? How would it deter the person from shooting the children?
Posted on 2/28/15 at 5:48 pm to Asgard Device
Still no answer to the question I asked either

So do you think people with a CCW should be detained and ID'd to make sure they are legal?
Yes, or no?

If they are concealing a rifle and wearing a kilt I 100% agree with them being ID'ed.

Is there even a casual correlation between murderers and kilts?

I'm not reading this entire thread (not yet, at least), but for those saying "the police officer has to check out whether someone openly carrying a rifle -- legal in Texas -- is a felon."
Do police officers have the right to pull over every car they encounter to check to see whether the driver is licensed? Absolutely not. See Brown v. Texas for a clue.
My argument is separate from drivers license checkpoints, which are random and less far-reaching.
Irrelevant. This man was carrying a rifle. Openly carrying a rifle is legal in Texas, unless you are "disturbing the peace." That's the loophole... does scared 911 callers reach the threshold of "disturbing the peace"?
