Well, I'm home from lunch for a few seconds. I talked with one of the guys I go to school with, he is a 25 year vet of the LA swat team, sniper. Of course we all know that Commiefornia is different... When the cops got a call about someone with a gun, they rolled up most of the time with their guns drawn. Wasn't too friendly of an interaction as he put it. Sometimes they would stop and scope the person out though to see how to handle the situation, most of the time they were busy and would just have to go in and make quick work of the call so they could go do "important" things. But that is how they handled it down there. Still waiting to see a cop here that I can ask.

Maybe you should find out what city the guy (in the video) was from. Irrelevant IMO how the "police" do it here or in Cali, since this video is in a different state. Or listen to the laws he was quoting and base it on that.Well, I'm home from lunch for a few seconds.

The police cruiser said" Portland Police" on the side, so that narrows it down an bit...Based on accents, I'm guessing Oregon

Portland, Maine
Here is a link that is allegedly from the citizen in the video: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-.../2898083/posts
I have not confirmed the information in the blog posts above, but the video looked more like Portland, ME than Portland, OR, and yes I've visited both, but do not claim to know much about either.
Be safe.
My thoughts: The gentleman that made the video obviously went out to "make a point", and tried to provoke the officer into doing something improper. Open carry is obviously legal at that location, otherwise the stop would have gone quite differently. That being said, IMO he did nothing to improve the relationship between OC proponents and the police with his adversarial attitude. I get the whole open carry thing, even though I choose not to do so, but being rude and adversarial with a police officer that is merely trying to have a conversation with you is not accomplishing anything except possibly souring that officer's opinion of OCers in general.

Agreed on the;" he did nothing to improve the relationship between OC proponents " but if I am not mistaken, the law he quoted said that the police couldn't do that. Therefore; illegal stop, illegal search and seizure! I thought I read somewhere that the Supreme Court" ruled citizens could defend themselves "to the point of death" against "illegal search and seizure"...
In that case he did good as " and OC proponent" and as others have said "it was a good day for all involved....... Wish more would stand up for their rights instead of being cowards and letting others step on them...
NICE FIND!
Jus' sayin', it's possible to "stand up for your rights" without being a dick.
