arrested for omaha open carry
SBarry:
We need to stand behind this individual and let the liberals in Omaha know they can't take away second amendment rights just because they are in city limits. Omaha has way too much power in this state and they only make up 1/4 to 1/3 of the population. They need an attitude adjustment and a reality check.
1000 NFOA members outside the courthouse on his trial day might say something.
RLMoeller:
I'm willing to join in. Let's get something planned. Do we even know when he would be going to court yet? I haven't heard anything else on this story.

armed and humorous:
If he was cited for not having his gun registered or not having a permit to carry openly (or concealed), I would not have a problem with NFOA throwing our support behind him with the goal to repeal the city ordinances requiring registration and permits to carry openly. However, I still haven't heard for certain what OPD actually cited him for. Perhaps he was brandishing his weapon, making threats to someone, or otherwise disturbing the peace with his behavior (aside from the simple fact that he was carrying). If that were the case, then I don't think we should use him as our martyr for this cause. Does anyone know yet what charges he actually faces? Anyone know how to find out?
Dtrain323i:
If they NRA isn't interested, maybe Alan Gura would be up for it.
rluening:
I emailed the reporter that wrote WOWT's "story" on this incident. It has since disappeared from the website.
He responded that Mr Medlock was cited because he had allowed his open carry permit expire, but continued to carry openly in protest of the requirement.
