Handled LIKE UH BOSS

Thats fantastic!

Cost the Gonzales Police dept $$$$ to learn their lesson on this subject.
If only all citizens had a knowledge of their rights like the dude in the video.
Thanks for posting.

That's stupid.....just give the officer what he is asking for and move on. No big deal.

It's encounters like this that will make our ignorant politicians pass more laws for gun control.

Whys it stupid? :confused:

good for the guy to know all his rights, but he was being an butt to a cop who wasn't being rude

i agree the cop was being polite but they should know the law thats the business they are in....

The guy was correct. Simply carrying a firearm in a location that allows open carry cannot be the sole reason for a stop. The cops should know this, but they rarely understand the Fouth amendment. Once they received the phone call that there was someone openly carrying a firearm, they should have then asked "is he engaged in a crime." Where legal, openly carrying a firearm is no more cause for a police stop than someone carrying a briefcase.

I do commend the cop for his attitude and demeanor....very professional.

The cop should have slapped the smart *** out of him

X2 ...... and if I saw a guy walking down the road with a gun I would call the cops too, legal or not, ... that's a cops job to figure it out, this cop did an excellent job handling the situation and the guy with the gun was a real A$$ about it and obviously did this to get a reaction from the cops....

Walk up to a stranger you know nothing about that has a loaded gun in his possession and see how you feel...not a comfortable situation to be put in, legal or not, this cop had no idea if this guy was going to shoot him or test him on his law....what an idiot.

That was the most polite cop I have ever seen. The dude carrying the gun was more of a jackass than a boss

The firm assertion of legal rights in the face of government overstepping its authority should not be construed to be rude or errant.

It does not matter how polite the agent of the government is when trampling on the rights of a citizen.

The agent of the government is ALWAYS wrong when trampling on the rights of the citizen, and the citizen is ALWAYS right in resisting the violation of his rights.

and a little common sense goes a long ways ..... did this need to happen, no, but this guy was on an ego trip and ready to tape this to prove his point, which he did....now, if the guy would have shot someone and not have been stopped and checked who would have been blamed.....the police force, a no win situation and i feel this officer handled the situation the best he could

I'm with you math geek.....

I'm with you. Freak that cop. Buncha liberals got scared cuz they saw a law abiding citizen with a gun. OMG a gun. People hear that word and freak out. I commend that guy for puttin that cop in his place.

For those saying the guy was a jackas.... yeah he pretty much was but who knows how often he gets harassed for doing something that is 100% legal. I'd be willing to bet this was not the first time, hence the chip on his shoulder.

What a jerk. Let one of his love ones get killed or hurt by a guy "just carrying" a gun down the street and see how fast his view changes on this subject. The cop did a excellent job on not losing his patients.

It is not ok for just police officers to be armed.
We have a right to be armed and defend our life & property (I understand with this right comes great responsibility). Baton Rouge has been listed as one of the top ten most dangerous cities in the U.S. I live in the middle of said city. Anything can happen at any time. To each his own but I choose to not be an unarmed victim! Remember the ole saying is true "when seconds count the police can be there in mere minutes".

"To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them"

Dude u need to get your head out of the sand. The dude was expressing his right. He was carrying a gun, not like he was waving it around threatening people. Let one of your family members get I hurt with a gun from a guy carrying a gun and I bet you'll arm yourself. Remember it's notthe gun that kills. And for a government puppet to invade those rights is just WRONG. Doesn't matter how nice that cop was. He had no business at all harassing the guy with the gun. Do you want someone interigate you every time you went hunting just because you have a gun? People need to stand up against government and he did a good job.

No personal attacks....everyone has a chance to voice their opinion.
