You need to carry a copy if you OC

[24Carat]

A copy of this needs to be carried by EVERY person that practices open carry of a firearm:




Reasonable suspicion must have a factual foundation in the circumstances observed by the officer when those circumstances are interpreted in light of the officer’s knowledge. G.J.P. v. State, 469 So. 2d 826 (2d DCA 1985). Mere suspicion “is no better than random selection, sheer guesswork, or hunch; it has no objective justification.” G.J.P., 469 So. 2d at 828; Smith v. State, 592 So. 2d 1206 (2d DCA 1992)

And what? Hand it to an officer you believe is being unreasonable?

Seriously asking.

Let me know how that works out for you.

Were you stopped solely because you were OCing?

Were you stopped solely because you were OCing?

And more importantly, do you still have your wallet?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

What? Why are we citing Florida law?

The controlling case is Pinner. (Yes, I know I get in trouble when I cite Pinner). Merely carrying a handgun, coupled with no additional facts (e.g., running out of bank wearing mask as alarm sounds) in Indiana is not reasonable suspicion to stop an individual.

This is a great idea. Cops just love to hold court cases on the side of the road and will surely leave you alone if you show them that you have outsmarted them with your magic flash card.
