Open Carrier Stopped by LEOs

Earlier tonight I went on one of many open carry walks with the dog. I carry everyday and take a long walk with the dog 3-4 times a week. Looking back at my personal recordings and youtube videos, it's been almost a year since a LEO stopped to talk to me. I figured the LEOs in my area got a clue and moved on to things like, investigating and stopping crime. On a few occasions I got a nod or wave from the deputies on my walk.

Tonight was different. The difference I can only guess is that a person called the police at the sight of my legal activity, that call got routed through to the San Jose PD, who handle things different than the Santa Clara Sheriff's Dept.

We can learn a few things from this encounter:
1. The PC12031(e) check is OPTIONAL. Some LEO's perform it (violating your rights) others don't.
2. A 10-66 would have definitely gotten the "Let's see some ID" treatment, open carriers don't.
3. There could be value in asking officers if they intend on using force with you if you don't comply.
4. LEO's are still reading this website.
5. San Jose PD took approximately 10 minutes to respond to a Suspicious Man With A Gun call.
6. In all, 6 cruisers sent to my location, time and money well spent :)
7. Nothing said about me recording them.

coolest thing about this is i own an orion telescope and btw looking into the gun to see if its loaded is a lawfull request... they can only look at the gun hes an idiot for trying to push the situation... this kind of fool is what they use to take away our rights.. just show him the gun unloaded and walk away....

What good is carrying a gun if its not loaded? The bad guys going to wait for you to load your gun? So glad I don't live in California....
