Re: Open carrier unlawfully tased, arrested, and falsely charged wins in court
Well, the words "Walmart" and "West Virginia" go a long way towards explaining the whole situation. Kinda gives context to the actions of the police and the dopey jackass walking into a retail store with an uncased long gun and an open carry pistol.

Re: Open carrier unlawfully tased, arrested, and falsely charged wins in court
This was just stupid. What did he expect? Common sense would say to just have it cased until you get back to sporting goods then tell them your plan. I look at a rifle on a sling like a holstered pistol. Holding the shotgun in hand walking through a store seems irresponsible.

Re: Open carrier unlawfully tased, arrested, and falsely charged wins in court
I won't join the discussion on "Was the initial take my new shotgun to Walmart decision uneducated or not?".
I'm making my judgement on lies from the audio, and the video where Walmart staff members are within inches of the shotgun yet they are still breathing. The video shows Walmart staff with the individual until Walmart critters see the gun blazing commando style police officers approaching them. Then the Walmart critters run off as if they were in imminent danger of being shot by police and not the unloaded shotgun.
These highly trained commandos with Semi-Fully Auto aggressive rifles should have used their situational awareness skills and watched what was occurring for about 30 seconds before escalating this.Last edited by gooseSA40; March 8th, 2021 at 11:33 AM.

Re: Open carrier unlawfully tased, arrested, and falsely charged wins in court
The issue is as complicated as you say. Nobody would work at a job for $25/hour where they faced unlimited personal liability and jail time for any mistakes at all, in addition to the chance of being killed in traffic or by some career criminal who will do anything to avoid going back to jail again. Add in the fact that false accusations by soulless citizens are common, and politicians will happily throw you under the bus to salvage their careers, even if you did nothing wrong.
On the other hand, when you give someone a gun and the power of the state to order folks around, there must be some safeguards.
If you ask 1,000 reasonably informed citizens where that balance should be set, you'll get 1,001 different answers.Attorney Phil Kline, AKA gunlawyer001@gmail.com

Re: Open carrier unlawfully tased, arrested, and falsely charged wins in court
The American public maintains the right to sue civil servants who violate their rights under Section 1983 of Title 42 of the U.S. Code. But the Supreme Court has radically limited that right over the years. First, there was the decision in Pierson v. Ray (1967), which held that public officials may avoid civil suits if constitutional violations were made in "good faith." In Harlow v. Fitzgerald (1982), the high court took that a step further: Victims may not sue state actors for misbehavior unless that misbehavior was "clearly established" in previous case law.
With this guy with the shotgun, was he kind of a dunce for bringing the shotgun into a store uncased? Yeah, he's thick as a brick but that's no reason to go so overboard to taze the guy instead of talking to him from a distance obviously to understand the situation. If he refused to communicate yeah, taze him and arrest him but that wasn't the case looking at the video.
WTF? Over.
