That open carry memo for police that was being worked on.

[Pa. Patriot]

that's a great doc! off the top of my head and IANAL, but this section:



i don't really like the advisory note here; it sounds a little too antagonistic... I'm not a good author, but I'd re-word it somehow to sound a little less like a problem to be solved and more a hole to fall into. maybe something along the lines of:

"before you file a criminal complaint based only on this provision of the law, be sure you can commit yourself to a long drawn out legal process where you will be personally called upon to repeatedly defend your interpretation of what was specifically unlawful and why. it may be helpful for you to maintain a collection your department's training materials and policies which cover this. you can expect various levels of your department's management may not agree with your interpretation of unlawful use, be ready to counter their testimony"

Thanks, MarkWhiskey. This is exactly the type of input I'm looking for.

Anyone else? I want to start working on finalizing this over the weekend.

Also thank you to Lonnie for the original effort in making this PA version of the doc.

I don't need no stinkin' memo

But it would be very informative to most people.

Steve, if all the local LEO were like you we wouldn't be having this conversation

That is a great document and as far as i'm concearened we need to make this available to every LEO possible and also to the attorney general so this can be viewed and we dont have LEO"S personal feelings in their judgement.

I'm thinking of a trip to wherever mullen sits in office, if he stays in and personally handing it to him.
