| #13 re: Pappy #12. Open carry is indeed legal in Connecticut with the odd condition or two to be observed. |

| #12 Open Carry is not legal in Connecticut. Yes, the state police should be sued. That said, the guy is an idiot. |

| #11 I was in old downtown Kansas City, went to a quick shop, guy behind the counter was open carry/designated gunslinger. Safest I felt in that area. That said, time and place for everything. I would say that if a person does decide to open carry in public, make sure you have a holster with a lock and/or located in a difficult position for someone to not be able to pick your pocket. |

| #10 That's different from open carry, the ?Koreans were in Castle Defense. That said open carry, in jewelry stores, pawn shops, coin shops and high risk likker stores is a good idea. But not on the street, that's asking for trouble and bad PR. Open carry in the yard hell yes, gardening, hell yes, a bad tomatoe is bad. |

| #9 I do recall Korean grocers during the LA riots. Those shops didn't burn. It's all about timing and situation. |

| #7 I agree that anyone carrying openly is showing off and/or asking for trouble. However, if open carry is legal in Connecticut, and the cops were conspiring to fabricate charges against him, yes, they should be sued AND imprisoned. |

| #6 I agree with Besoeker. If I were a shooter an open carry person is the first one i'd shoot. |

| #5 Picard's video of incident. This armed citizen might be the cop's best friend in a pinch. (I should add, such an action could be fraught with danger for the citizen as he might get shot by the cop or by the perp.) |

| #4 I know it is a minority view here, but 'open carry' is simply asking for trouble. |

| #3 Not to mention the politicians that drive this behavior and enable it. |

| #1 Cops like that need sued into the poor house and put in prison for a few months and never, ever wear a badge again. |
