Thats good to hear, now you need to make sure the police are educated so this doesn't happen again.

Have you contacted the reporter(s) in this matter to make sure they publish a followup?  These OC harassment cases have to be tried in the press or they will kepp hapenning.

Jeezums......you put in for your permit,two days later you thought that you would be cool,challenge the intent of the laws of Maine,make it tougher on the rest of us that DO have a permit,or all of the above.

This is just one example of why I say,"OPEN CARRY IS BS". Is it legal ? Is it my right ? Is it kewl ? Will I impress people ? Maybe,but does it help the cause ?? I say heck no.

Did you intentionally make your weapon easier to be grabbed/stolen. Why would the BG's mug someone over an unknown ammount of money(probably 30 bucks) deep down in their pocket, when with the least ammount of effort they can put a knife to your throat and releive you of a $600+ firearm that they have been observing bounce up and down on your hip for the last 10 minutes ?? Or worse ...... hold a knife to your wife's or young daughters throat while you hand them your firearm that is visably on your side ?? Hell,they probably carry a book of gun values around with them just for referance.

If your lucky,when they are through,they might not kill or molest your family(or you).

I am very pro 2A. I carry concealed every day. I do not want anyone to know that I have a firearm. I do not want to be the first targeted/shot during a robbery at the stop-and-steal. I do not want any unwanted attention. I do not care if I am kewl or not.

When I lived in Maine I had a Maine permit and a NH permit. I carried concealed. I am now the proud carrier of a Florida concealed weapons permit. CONCEALED MEANS CONCEALED.

Good luck with open carry.

Ha ha I guess your insinuating I'm a troll, I believe very strongly in open carry and am one of the only ones who do it in my area, I was informing people what was written on another forum, not my personal opinion, but don't break your fingers trying to type an apology, I forgive you.

Your previous post informs nobody about anything on another forum. You response is as clear as day. You have no reference to this other forum and if you are being sarcastic, you did not indicate it. From what you wrote it appears you are a troll and nothing indicated you were pro open carry. You wrote " CONCEALED MEANS CONCEALED".

You'll get no apology from me.

For your ease of use I have, bolded, italicized, and underlined, what I have written, so there won't be a mistake this time sorry for not making it clearer than the big lines between the passage and my paragraph.

I  tend to get PO'd when people charged with enforcing the law blatantly violate it so if it were me I'd
a) file suit against the PD for false arrest;
b) find out if the PD has done this sort of thing before and if they have made any statements that it is policy --- if so I'd file a federal civil rights complaint with the DOJ for violation of civil rights (2nd Amendment);
c) file a complaint with the State Police that the PPD is in regular violation of state law;
d) write a formal letter ofcomplaint to my state representative/state senator and to any member of the legislature known to be friendly to the 2nd Amendment;
e) write a complete description to the NRA and the state chapter.

I don't know if any or all would work but it would sure as H*ll get their attention. It might even get the press to pay attention.

He did say it was posted on 'Glock Talk' in his post, although at the bottom...just to be fair.

That's the equivalent of telling an elaborate story and ending it with "and then I woke up from the dream!"

It's deceptive, and pisses people off without a good reason.

Sorry I hadn't figured out the fancy "qoute" button yet, so to any of those who I pissed off, thats what happens when just glance at a post and don't read all the way through it, I'll be sure to add a disclaimer at then end of all my post from here on out

Guys, leave RIAshooter alone. :P

I didn't think he was trying to be deceptive, I just figured he didn't know how to quote. ;)

Are you going to file suit for false arrest?
