Jailed for Legal Carry?

“A person can legally open carry without any kind of permit in the state of Michigan. But if someone wants to carry concealed, he needs a permit. I frankly don’t understand these laws or why any kind of government permit needs to be issued in the first place whether you want to wear a handgun hidden inside your pants or carry it out in the open on your hip.” The reason is that politicians want it to be so, and they set out to make laws to MAKE it so. Besides, there's also those "license FEES." Never mind their laws are unconstitutional, they will be enforced right up to the minute a court declares them unconstitutional. There are people in prison TODAY for violating a law that was subsequently declared to be unconstitutional, but they’re still there.

It takes years of effort and lots of money to get them released, even though the law they were convicted under is no more. In this case, apparently the cop decided on his own that this man’s gun was not “open carried” and arrested him. This is typical over response for some cops. Some cops are viciously anti-gun and arrest people on gun charges every tine they get a chance. Other, smarter cops do not. They wish EVERYBODY could be armed to make their jobs much easier. This guy spent Christmas in the pokey because of this cop’s stupid action and was released without charges when “wiser heads” intervened. But that doesn’t help his ruined Christmas and the cop most likely will NOT be punished. He’s suing, and if he wins, the money will be paid by the taxpayers—not the people responsible.
