because as soon as thery have it their hands you can't leave. They will hold you up for as long as they want.I 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?
He had me until he called them dickheads. That showed his true purpose. I'm all for standing up and exercising your rights. But..
Back to the sandwich part, isn't illegal to refuse someone service for no reason.

I delt with cops in new Britain on as few occasions in my 20 years of living there with a permit. No problems even when breaking their concealed carry law or regulation they had back then.any worse than hard hittin new Britain?
because backing down at any time gives them more power on the leash they have around our necks, already. **** themthat'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.

I've seen signs that say "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone"
Legal? or illegal? No idea.

Give the guy credit. I'd be afraid of getting shot by police while open carrying in Bridgeport. They could also have arrested him for "Breach Of Peace" for making others feel threatened. The open carry law is "Massachusetts" like down there...
reading this, he could have been subject to arrest for Interfering with an officer, if the elements of that crime are present
I'm surprised they didn't take him in.
some towns like Torrington trained their cops on oc, I see a few in Walmart once in a while in the summer, but never at Target.http://ctcarry.com/Document/Download/a034b530-1221-425d-a99f-53af710ff219

Because CT law was specifically written to prevent what those cops are trying to do. It is illegal for them to ask for a permit unless you are committing a crime.
This is very false. While they might do what you saw in the video they specifically never threatened arrest because there are multiple cases in CT already where the police and towns got their asses handed to them for false arrest. In MA you could technically have your permit revoked for an officer seeing you OC and calling it threatening. No such authority exists in CT and the protections against having a permit revoked are numerous and effective.
Example, here is a letter the Hartford police distributed to the officers there explaining exactly what I'm talking about because they don't want the lawsuits that would follow:

Read the 4th bullet point in that document.
I'm not saying CT is a gun rights bastion. I left because of the new AWB. It is however far more protective of the citizens with respect to licensing than MA is.

Hardly.... LOl! look I've never had any problems with cops (I have a few real good friends that are cops) , I don't look at them like they are the enemy, most of th etime treat them with respect and act accordingly
and you can avert problems. I don't know what the laws are in CT but
here in Mass if a cop asks to see my permit , I show it to him. I'm not an antagonizer , I've learned in life when dealing with authority figures , being as invisible as possible is always to your advantage.
I've got a great wife and kid, a job I love that I'm good at, a home etc, the last thing I personally need is my "bravado" standing up for my rights when a "here you go" 5 second flash of a card keeps me out of any
nonsense with a cop that could be a "dick" and basically ends it right there.
A "defector" .... LOL! good one
