[QUOTE="MLR, post: 1932902, member: 2176"] We can only hope that this will happen. I only brought this subject up as it seems to be the question most commonly brought up on forums where folks ask about the legality of open carry. This is only about the legality of a stop not what would be the polite way to handle an encounter. People already know what would be the polite way to react to a challenge, what they need to know is what is or is not legal. This works both ways. Both side need to know the law and work within it. In some States the courts have ruled that the mere act of carrying a weapon is not on its own a reason to detain a person to ask for a license. They must have a reason to believe that the person does not have a license before he can detain them. For me the idea that everyone who open carries is looking for a confrontation carries about as much weight as the notion that concealed carriers are all hoping for a chance to shoot someone.
