    I was not being emotional, I was basing what I said on some of my LE firearms and tactical training. Now if you are saying it sounds as if some of the folks I described, either other drivers or the police, yes such things can get emotional depending on how emotional were the folks making the 911 calls or whether or not the police were already looking for a suspect who fit the general description of the subject of those calls. Every time a law enforcement officer makes a vehicle stop - it should be handled like a felony vehicle stop - at least if the officer is following good training on vehicle stops. When they stop a vehicle about an armed individual, you can bet they are considering it a felony vehicle stop unless they had been asleep during their training.
    I'm LE and more. I disagree with everything you said here.

    I suspect no one would even notice or take the time and effort to make a call.
    What if there had been a school shooting in the area an hour before or a bank robbery in the area or whatever? As I said, there may be no consequences, then again there may be dire consequences. My point was essentialy that shit happens and there is no need to make it pour down on yourself.

    What if open-carrying the AR prevented the hypothetical school shooting or bank robbery (or whatever)?

    Good for you. I must say I find it amazing that you disagree with me saying that if police stop a vehicle in which they know there is an armed individual that prompted 911 calls, they will consider a felony vehicle stop. Come on now get real are you truly in LE? I wonder after you wrote you disagree with that! I taught that stuff for 16 years and was taught it by others, from my own agencies and from outside agencies and departments, for 32+ years. Do and believe as you were trained. First tough, watch some of the videos of cops being killed because when they made a stop they were acting as if was just another so called routine stop.

    A person from New York telling a person from California how to be Texan. Priceless

    Please tell me you didn't teach it anywhere around here.

    What you said vs. what you claim you said. See the differences?

    He is a prime example of a “conservative” commie stater just being a moderate democrat in Texas.
    Edit to add;
    I am talking about the poster @perfor8 quoted, not perfor8.
    Understood. Occasionally I tire of 'em and call out their BS, especially when it comes to LE throwing their nickels down as if they were manhole covers.

    And a meteor could strike him too. Could happen.

    Of course if he is coming across I40, there ain't much to rob out there around the border... ;)
