Title: Cop Says “Open Carry” Advocates Should Be Shot

A controversy was brewing in East Palo Alto Tuesday night after a police detective made apparently joking comments through his Facebook account saying “open carry” advocates who visibly carry guns in public should be shot.

Now East Palo Alto has become a reluctant testing ground for a battle of constitutional amendments: one police officer’s ‘freedom of speech’ versus a group’s ‘right to bear arms.’

Area resident Adnan Shahab is an “open carry” advocate who frequently goes out in public displaying an unloaded gun on his belt. Such activity is legal in California with certain restrictions, such as staying clear of schools.

Shahab said he was offended by Facebook remarks posted by East Palo Alto detective Rod Tuason. Tuason published a comment that said he agreed with a friend that open carry advocates should come to Oakland, Richmond and East Palo Alto and — in an apparent joke — said officers should shoot the advocates.

Now THAT is dumb. Any criminal seeing a person with a sidearm on their hip will know it's unloaded, thus inviting a mugging and theft of weapon. The REALLY dumb part is that the law requires them to keep the weapon unloaded. It's about equally dumb to carry it that way.

If these folks REALLY wanted to make a statement, they'd simply ignore the "unloaded" requirement and carry them loaded. They prove nothing but poor judgement by carrying them exposed and unloaded.

I agree. So long as you don't do anything to give a cop "probable cause" to stop you and check you and your gun out you shouldn't have any problem. And if someone tried to jack you for your gun you wouldn't have a problem very long.
