In my opinion, the open carrier was a dick looking for a confrontation. While I support his right, and I'm confident I'll get flamed for this, based in the video I think he was looking for a confrontation to make a point. Say what you will, but I don't think we advance 2A rights by looking for confrontations, it just makes us look like rabid ideologues. It's all about picking your battles.
OK. Flame retar_dant suit on.
Oh my, lets not follow the law of the state because some ignorant scumbag citizen does not know the laws of the state.
Coug your judgment is both illogical and rude. The guy followed the law of California. So what if he is a "rabid ideologue." Aren't the anti's rabid ideologues" He followed the law.
if you follow your own thinking then carrying in Oregon makes you a rabid ideologue.

I'll tip my hat to the professionalism of the LEO.
Oops! I forgot not everybody reads an entire post on here. Re-read it and notice the IMO standing for "in my opinion" which may differ from yours because I am NOT a sheep and have to agree with everybody else. Also read the part that says "reasonable requests". Just because I'm a nice person who doesnt care to waste my time arguing with a cop also does not make me a sheep. Just sayin'!
What exactly is illegal or suspicious about a person walking lawfully down the street? There was nothing that I saw that even remotely looked like this was a lawful stop and anything unlawful the officer found would have been tossed. I personally think it was a piss poor job on the officers part. If he had seen something that gave him RAS then he had a lawful stop. Oceanside should be training their officers on Terry Stops as this was not a valid one.

Awesome cop! I'm surprised carrying without ID is legal in California. Anyway nice to see a nice civil cop. IMO if I was confronted by an officer as civil as this guy I would have gladly handed over my ID and acquiesced to any reasonable requests he had.
It is illegal to open carry a loaded firearm in California, according to PC 12031 the officer has the right to inspect to insure that the firearm is unloaded. This is exactly what happened in the video, officer stopped, check to make sure it was unloaded, then "pretty much" let him go on his way.
