Livermore Peace Officer Greets Open Carrier, No 12031(e) Check

California peace officers are (unconstitutionally) authorized to perform Penal Code 12031(e) inspections of firearms carried in public to determine if they are unloaded and in compliance with the (unconstitutional) state law.

Many peace officers around the state believe they are required by law to check all firearms carried publicly. This is false and should be addressed with additional training.

The peace officer in this video is one of Livermore's finest. He supports the 2nd Amendment and has no qualms about law abiding people openly bearing arms. He understands that he derives his authority from the People and he is a good steward of that authority. He deserves our respect.

Notice how the peace officer observes the open carrier, lets his presence be known, responds with a polite greeting when prompted to do so and decides to respect the open carriers 2nd Amendment right to bear arms along with his 4th Amendment right to be secure in his person/effects.

The California Police Chief's Association and the Peace Officer's Research Association of California have mislead the public and made the false claims that open carry is a threat to police officers and it wastes time and public safety resources because police *must* check to see if firearms are unloaded. This video shows that is simply not the case.
