Openly carrying a firearm makes no sense, will endanger rather than protect the public and will cause unique problems to law enforcement officers.
For example, an officer observing a person carrying a firearm would have an obligation to have that person produce the permit. One dilemma that would come about is when a second officer observes the same person without the knowledge of the previous inquiry. |

HB 163 red herring - just uninformed on the content of the bill, or deliberate lie? READ the bill. A LEO has no obligation or right to stop an OC'er absent probable cause that a crime is being committed. The probable cause must be developed first.
It's same as a needing a Drivers License to drive. LEO's may not stop motorist willy-nilly just to determine if they possess a Drivers License.

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
