well so far, in this thread, i've only seen two people actually care to discuss the main point I asked about and that was concerning the illegal order to turn over a video recording device, then be arrested for refusal. Everyone seems focused on the individual carrying a gun.....because he was carrying a gun. This
should go a long way in to showing everybody how skewed their sheeple thought processes take them. The individual in the OP broke no laws, yet most here question his 'common sense' simply because they, in his position, wouldn't have been carrying that gun. Your 'common sense' isn't the law and unless you talk your representatives in to making it so, it is irrelevant.
Now, if anyone is truly interested in answering the question, i'll repost the same scenario/incident from a point already in to the confrontation.

You're in your driveway, under the hood of your car. 3 police officers and 2 state troopers approach you and ask you if you can answer some questions about the man that lives down the street. They explain to you that several houses down someone has shot themselves in the head in their vehicle and they are just securing the area. 15 minutes later, the 2 troopers and a single officer come back, and ask you to stay here as they may have some questions to ask later. As the officers begin talking to you, you pull out the small video recorder to record his questions and answers, they demand you turn it over. Knowing it is not illegal to videotape in public, you refuse, then they threaten you with a taser. Arrest you, charge you with felony obstruction and resisting arrest.

Now, would anyone actually care to respond concerning the 4th amendment protections ONLY????
