Oh and notice the liberal, dumbass comments below.
Sucks when the subject...I mean citizen...knows the law better than the detaining officer.

Don't wanna get shot by the police?
"Stop Resisting Arrest!"
I don't know what the laws are in Oregon, but here that could be considered brandishing a weapon if citizens are calling in concerned for their safety that a man is walking with a gun. It would would not hold up in court, but would be enough for an officer to stop you, take your weapon to protect their safety, and run a NCIC search.
This guy is walking around in broad daylight with a gun on his hip in a manner or place that it would not be considered normal (hence the phone call to the police from the public) and had a video camera, a list of court proceeding, and some statutes that benefit his side only ready for when he was contacted by the police.
This guy was clearly being an ass and trying to cause some type of legal or civil issue with the police department.
Once again I don't know about Oregon, but here an officer can detain and transport a person for failure to provide identification.
I agree, the cop did a great job.
I think the guy talked way too much, but also think the police had no reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, to justify the stop. Police are allowed to have consensual encounters, but once they took his gun, they lost that argument. He could not leave without his property. The guy did a good job overall. The Sargent knew his law and let him go.
I still don't understand why morons see a guy Open Carry and they have to call the cops. My fist thought seeing someone walking around open carrying a firearm would be this guys up to no good, he is obviously about to commit a crime(enter sarcasm here) because bad guys love to draw attention to themselves by showing of their gats before they pull some bad guy stuff.

Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.
