It's refreshing to see an encounter where the officer actually knows the laws he is supposed to enforce. I'm not a fan of open carry because I want the element of surprise and I don't like attracting attention to myself, but given how the officer mentions youtube maybe these open carriers are actually accomplishing something.
However I do find it strange that the officer is former military, and I assume took an oath to support and defend the Constitution, yet he is enforcing laws that ensure citizens are forced to be disarmed in public.
Oh well, I'll just stay out of California.
