Carrying on school grounds is not legal in WY. Concealed or Open.C-dub wrote:I don't understand this logic. If I'm wearing a fanny pack at school does that give campus police the right to search me for a weapon? I know you are pro-2A, but I just don't understand how you can get from an empty holster to a reasonable belief that a danger might be present any more so than any other time. I don't know what he was protesting, but OC is legal in WY, even on campus. Had his holster not been empty the only problem he would have had was possibly with school rules, but that wouldn't have been illegal and therefore not an issue for the police. I won't call it harrassment, but I just don't understand the reason for the need to search. BTW, there was no mention of him having a concealed gun once arrested. I'm fairly sure they searched him then.gigag04 wrote:IMHO an empty holster is at least reasonable suspicion that an individual may have a handgun. If the officer can articulate that into a reasonable belief that a danger might be present, I think a Terry frisk is fine.
