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.

Stop and frisk is looking for a variety of things. If the policeman stops someone he thinks has a CCW, and the person shows they don’t have a gun, then it’s over and they’re on their way. This is a bad analogy.

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.

So, to be clear, you now support a law, as long as its evenly applied, that would allow a police officer to stop someone with a concealed weapon and verify that the weapon is permitted and legal?

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.

Why? Please explain why you have ‘mixed feelings’. And if you’re going to bring the idea of unfairness in you can literally argue against every law in existence; it’s a red herring.
