re: #141 Fairly Sure I’m Still Obdicut
Either with open-carry, or concealed. It’s often completely possible to see that someone is carrying a concealed weapon, especially if your’e trained to look for it.
Do you think that law would be a good thing, and if not, why not?
For the purpose of simplicity, let’s stick to CCW at least a moment. How often was stop and frisk coming up with false alarms? I think that was too often IIRC. A bulge in a coat can be many things.
That law depending on some very significant details of how it works on the street day to day could be a very good thing or just an instrument to discourage CCW. How well is that going to work with a black man with a CCW? Strike a fair balance and I’m in. Fail to do that and I’m not.
Open carry? I have mixed feeling leaning to allowing the stop and chat. Again I have a hesitation on how fairly that is actually done.
