After reading the lawsuit filed against the officer and the Madison police department I wonder why this situation hasn’t occurred against citizens while open carrying a firearm. The officer in the lawsuit had a history of excessive force against citizens and yet was allowed to remain on the police force. Reading the lawsuit makes me think twice about police encounters while carrying a firearm and how to respond. How would you handle an officer like Heimsness while open carrying a firearm? If ordered to the ground would you comply or argue your legally carrying a firearm?
