"Do you see these stripes on my arm"?????
"oh, I thought those were stretch marks" should have been the response

Because America, thats whyI don't get what the big deal is. If you're open carrying and a cop says can I see your permit? why do you not just show it to him and be on your way?
Subway, where your sandwiches are made from yoga mats.
Well this is tricky, somewhat. Being a law abiding resident of CT that has a carry permit my first reaction would probably be to just show my permit if asked. At first blush I would not think of a cop asking to see my pistol permit while open carrying to be an abuse or overstepping of authority since CT law says you have to have a permit in order to carry outside of your home or your personal place of business. It probably would not occur to me until later that they should have some reason to ask for my permit.
So, the guy in the video has a good point, the cops should not be asking for his permit just because he was open carrying. That said, he was provoking them a bit. After seeing this video think I would want to know a reason for being asked but I would probably show my permit before things got too heated with the police.
I don't think we accomplish anything by being overly antagonistic about our gun rights. It's necessary to stand up for them, let the authorities know that we know the law and we have the right to know why we are being asked to produce a permit. Then showing the permit out of good faith is good so we don't come across looking like a bunch of hot heads looking for a fight. If we look like hot heads it won't make them treat us better, it will just make them change the law to allow them to ask for no reason.

that's just obnoxious. Knowing the climate being what it is that's just asking for harassment. I'm sorry on this one I don't agree, show your permit and order your f**king sub. do you need to prove a point 24/7
It' s not like we don't already have enough obstacles carrying. Learn to pick your battles wisely in life.
Nope, they need to follow the law.wow I guess with you (chevy 2 65) there is only black and white huh.
remind me to invite you to my next party LOL!
I have to agree with Carl on this one.
Remember this happened in Bridgeport where they just re-elected a convicted felon ex-mayor, who just got out of federal prison for bribery, for which he was convicted of, and removed from office for, DURING HIS LAST TERM AS MAYOR.
If that's who they elect as mayor, you get a nice taste for who they hire as cops.
