I'm PISSED

[funkfool]

I can spend just as long as anyone ragging on the police, but getting a bunch of guys together to open carry with the idea that the police are going to show up sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

Yes. It does.

[funkfool]

Yes. It does.

That said:

I wouldn't necessarily suggest it is "with the idea that the police are going to show up" though.
I would hope they did not, and I wouldn't suggest it be the object of any organized OC gathering.
I think some things are said on this board that don't convey well in text.
SO my 0.02¢ -
It sounds as if there is a neighborhood thing going on and I will volunteer to attend and show support to our fellow boardmember.
Not to openly confront CSPD or anyone else on the moral, legal or ethicial questions of OC.
I would attend a friendly BBQ and open carry - until I decided to have a few beers -then I'd have to trunk the firearm and try to enjoy myself and others company.
I do not OC (or carry anything for that matter) for confrontation or coercion or to intimidate.
I do not believe we are an "ends justify the means" bunch here.

I don't want anyone to take what I said wrong, as this is not usually a group to get out of hand, just sometimes people get swept up in a group mentality and things end up going where they never intended to go. That's all.

Let me know what's going on with the BBQ I could use a day of FUN!

[Elhuero]

who ever said that the purpose of the gathering was to get the cops to show up?

CSPD needs to learn not to treat good people like criminals.

they've done it to me before, which is why I'm going to attend the BBQ.

hell, I'll get a sling and bring my rifle.

fuck em if they can't take a joke
