What a douche.. Just give the cop what he wants, if a felon was carrying on his hip, would you like his info? I would like to take hat gun, and shoot that guy in the face... Suspenders.... C'mon, he's carrying because if he wasn't I would pound his face in with my fist. So he left, and no one knows if he was legally carrying?
I've seen worse...... but I just don't get why you'd want to deliberately put yourself in that situation. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
As stupid as he may be for obviously starting trouble, It sounds like he was correct, well educated on the subject and well within his legal rights; where as the people withholding the law were not as much.
Just a stupid **** who read a book and think he is a lawyer now and wanted to try and show off to the internet world.
I hate that everyone's got a camera phone and trying to F the Police.
AWESOME! Glad to see someone stand up for their rights.
Agree with him 100%.
Perhaps the police and citizens of Maine need to educate themselves.
How is that standing up for your rights? If the cops were telling the guy to put his gun away or leave, then he can stand up for his rights. The Officer just wanted to make sure the guy wasn't some crazy guy who decided to carry his gun and shoot everyone up. The guy is a clown.
Leo's please inform me as to why the Police do not have a right to detain and individual with a gun? Given that a man with a gun is walking down the street, don't the police have a right to stop him to see his permit? Isn't that the point of a permit, so if you get stopped you have proof. I don't understand. wouldn't it be a crime to carry the gun if he didn't have a permit?
Couldn't the cop just have said yea, I suspect you of not having permit? Then couldn't the cop detain and have the right to gather the information.

NO, They can't for the same reason they can't pull over a law abiding citizen and ask for their permits...BC THEY ARE NOT BREAKING THE LAW OR UNDER SUSPICION OF BREAKING THE LAW!
