Oklahoma Pistol Walk, Part II

Through Edmond Haifer Park. Just a few of comments. First, to the cop. Stop pointing that rifle at people. It’s stupid.
Second, do … not … ever … touch another man’s gun in a circumstance like this. Ever. It’s stupid. A negligent discharge can occur, someone could get hurt, the weapon might have been modified and you wouldn’t know it, a round might be chambered and it might not be, you don’t know the configuration or status of that weapon, and so on. Do not ever touch another man’s weapon.
Third, get educated. Too many cops were looking on the idiot boxes (phones) to figure out if a barrel less than 16″ with a pistol brace is an SBR or a pistol. Really. Seek some education, read a little bit.

First impression given by these fine officers is a gaggle of self-important ignoramuses. Sorry to my LEO friends, but that’s what they portray with their actions / phone searching for legal standards.

I’m ok with the po po looking up the particulars of the weapon. That specific problem is not their fault. There are too many laws for any reasonable man, even a cop, to know. That points more to the ridiculous array unconstitutional ATF rules that any thing else.
But yeah, the po po in this case were silly with their self absorbed, we are the king’s knighted men, mentality and stupid scenarios. Do they teach cops in the academy to tell people one-off improbabilities as an investigative technique? The rookie who took the guys name and info was breathing a little heavy when he first arrived, I seriously thought he was going to draw or something but he did manage to get himself under control before he did something really stupid.

Eh, Fred the fact that out of what, 5-6 of them there, none of them know the basics of the NFA laws or what arm braces and pistol qualifications are? “It looks like a rifle to me!” line was hilarious especially as one of them has a “patrol rifle” (definately not an assault rifle) himself. These aren’t particularly onerous laws/concepts to understand. I’m with you on the ridiculous array of laws and rules but knowing what is and isn’t a pistol isn’t hard. You or I as average joe gun owner are required to know them or we pay the price of going to jail and becoming felons, even for say not having enough American made parts on that foreign imported gun.
The cop at 2:09 or so has the barrel pointed at his partners leg as he checks out the gun.

I should have been more clear. It’s impossible for a man today to know all of the laws under which we are ruled. That’s the form and purpose of a tyranny, to prevent free men from conducting themselves within the millions of lines of federal, state, and local codes and laws. This is on purpose, by design, to enslave. A cop, being a man, can’t know all of the laws. Given this backdrop, that the cops don’t know the stupid arm brace rule is not surprising at all. At least they looked it up instead of arresting him and letting other elements within the despotic tyranny sort it out. That was, hopefully more clearly now, my point. And it’s more proof that there are NO GOOD COPS. It should be apparent even at sub triple digit IQ that nobody is helped in a condition with millions of rules, but only hindered by the law. Cops are active, knowing, and willing participants in the tyranny or they are literally retarded, pick.

Cop says something like “we’re getting shot at like crazy out there.” Yeah every donut shop in my town is bullet riddled. Reminds me Beirut in the 80s.

And if the cop had negligently shot one of the other cops with this guy’s pistol, guess who would be blamed for it?
