If you're a member there, would you please PM that OP with this lawyer's contact info?
If anyone else plans to OC a rifle in Iowa, please make sure you have a camera crew, to make suing the crap out of them easier. Handguns haven't gotten any negative attention from the police as far as I have heard, but many of them still don't understand that ALL firearms are covered by our permit to carry.
ETA: BTW, I can completely understand that happening. Well, I can believe it. "Understand" is maybe too strong of a word.
I'm charged with ccw for OC in a car, which is completely legal, & the max. penalty is 9mo jail & $10K fine.

Ok. So i found the details for this. Its a case from last year right?
From what I understand from this is he was on probation, but got his permit before being on probation. I believe his permit was invalid due to the probation, but I cant be sure. If anyone else knows anything different let me know.
Link is dead. Wondering if the other site removed it.
Can someone provide details, or another link?
Whats this?
You would be incorrect in that assumption. He has poor judgement and a less-than-ideal history (assault, moving violations, theft, trespass), but no felonies, and his permit was valid as specifically stated in his probation terms.

The short version is that I was OC in the car, as has been legal since 01NOV11.Tucker6900 said:What's this?me said:I'm charged with ccw for OC in a car, which is completely legal, & the max. penalty is 9mo jail & $10K fine.
Gotcha.
Seems like some of those boys at AR are just as 2A pro as another site I know.
THE RULES said:(14) LONG GUN CARRY IS OFF-TOPIC: This web site is focused on the right to openly carry properly holstered handguns in daily American life. We do NOT promote the carry of long guns. Long guns are great! OCDO co-founders John & Mike and most of the members of this forum own at least one long gun - but due to urban area issues of muzzle control, lack of trigger guard coverage, and the fact that the long gun carry issue distracts from our main mission to promote the open carry of handguns in daily life, we will leave long gun carry activism in the capable hands of the future founders of web sites about long gun carry. Exception: This rule does NOT apply to discussions about long gun carry in jurisdictions such as California which ban handgun carry and thus require long gun carry as a matter of public policy.
THE RULES said:(12) NO BASHING OF OTHER GUN RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS: Regardless of how convinced you are that another gun rights organization is not doing their job, this is not the place to air those concerns unless they are specifically related to an anti-open carry position taken by that organization. All other rants against other gun rights groups will be deleted or the thread locked.
By "another site" you mean opencarry.org, since talking about long-gun carry (like we are doing now) is not allowed there, right? (sarcasm)
But yes, other organizations have a wide range of opinions, since every person is different.
Oh, as long as I'm posting from THE RULES, here's another
