New favorable case law ou tof the 6th cir.

[WildBillKelso]

While this is not binding case law as it is in the 6th circuit, I would make an educated guess it gets referenced a few times here in the 5th cir. The super simple, down-n-dirty case brief is you can't just be stopped for open carrying and some ninny, ignorant of open carry being legal, calls 911 on you.

So what is New about this?

 

[WildBillKelso]

I don't know. I'm relatively new to the 5th circuit. Care to share? It could be a de novo case for the 6th as it went there.

A well written decision. For those who care about liberty, it's a good idea to download, read, and commit its logic to memory.
I hope the plaintiff, Northrup, is successful at trial.
Too bad the pissy motorcyclist, Rose, can't be held to account.

This decision/opinion is not representative of a blurred legal issue in so much as it is symptomatic of a hyper-inflated antagonism by the media and the holier-than-thou anti-gun crowd. These incidents happen because rather than a complainant take the time to actually learn the firearms laws in their particular areas or states, they hear a sound bite from a douche politician or a deliberately slanted newscast, and they use that unfounded knowledge and ignorance to put forth their idea of what is legal.

Nonetheless, there is never a reason IMHO, for the cops not to know the firearms laws in their own jurisdiction BEFORE elevating the issue to a lawsuit.
