I would agree, it is part of their job, but their job is to investigate and enforce laws, not create them.WBL_2006 wrote:Nope. If it is indeed an officer, it is part of their job.You have no problem calling the police when there is no suspicion or evidence that a crime has been committed?
If it is an everyday "Joe" or "Jane", they have the right also. It is then the responsibility of LE to respond accordingly. As a result of some unfortunate events lately, maybe now the LE folks will respond in a more civil manner if at all. (Wishful thinking, I know).

I agree with this also. If the events transpired as described, then I agree the officer(s) in this situation acted unprofessional and made serious errors and should be reprimanded.I would agree, it is part of their job, but their job is to investigate and enforce laws, not create them.
Read Groundchuk's post on Pg. 3; I can see this situation playing out in just that manner.

Maybe (at the appropriate time, if the city refuses to respond proffessionally) we should have an OC walk while wearing Insane Clown Posse T-shirts.
Then we can get the ACLU on our side!

as ridiculous as that sounds...it's actually a good idea...Maybe (at the appropriate time, if the city refuses to respond proffessionally) we should have an OC walk while wearing Insane Clown Posse T-shirts.

although then they might interpret us as being gang related and throw some obscure Homeland security statute at us for terrorism
either way, we'll let the Professionals work, they will let us know what is needed
I am again just happy this Org exists and that I became a part of it....
talk about Grassroots, and coming together
and yes I am starting to think a digital voice recorder is in my "near" future

I have been content with standing aside and letting the Willowick Police Dept and OFCC guide matters along, until this latest incident.
After reading about the incident in Northwood, I felt that a 'heads-up' email to my local police department, concerning these two incidents, would be appropriate.
I have emailed links to the stories on OFCC's main page, and expressed my hope that law enforcement officers in my area are better informed as to the legality of open carry in Ohio.

It is piled pretty deep on Ted's site. By 'it' I don't mean this story, I mean the level of 'Big talk, little if any action'.jacksnack wrote:Got a link?McGyver wrote:This story made it to TedNugent.com!

...don't know how deep it is in the site...
Many years ago, when I used to read that forum (before it went to a 'pay to view' format) I wrote in about a rifle I had stolen by a FFL1 when his shop closed. Ted and the bunch over there swore up and down they would storm Congress if necessary, they made a big deal of it. Guess what any of them actually did? Squat, Jack 'Squat. All 'Cavalry to the rescue', then they acted like the Iraqi army and disappeared. Ted is a good PR guy, when it comes to 'Unka Ted'.
Not one of the " 'more-equal animals' ".

I am glad however the story is disseminated well.

Won't fly. Ohio bill of rights: § 1.03 Right to assemble: "The people have the right to assemble together, in a peaceable manner, to consult for their common good; to instruct their representatives; and to petition the general assembly for the redress of grievances." So if the people have the right to assemble together, in a peaceable manner, to consult for their common good and do it on the public square in Northwood, then Northwood would not have much power to object.Regulator2 wrote:as ridiculous as that sounds...it's actually a good idea...Maybe (at the appropriate time, if the city refuses to respond proffessionally) we should have an OC walk while wearing Insane Clown Posse T-shirts.Then we can get the ACLU on our side!
