Active duty soldier disarmed by Temple cop

Most CHL/LEO contacts are positive, how about yours? Bloopers are fun, but no names please, if it will cause a LEO problems!

Active duty soldier disarmed by Temple cop

This is very upsetting, Temple is 30 minutes from my ranch. A dad/active duty soldier was hiking with his son. He had an AR15 slung on his shoulder in case of coyotes. The cop asked him why he was carrying a rifle. The man responded with "do I need a reason", and that was it. Rifle was confiscated, man was charged with "rudely displaying a weapon". Now I don't know every detail, such as was he in a neighborhood or out on the trail, but based on the video he should not have been disarmed.

I support the police and admire what they do for us, but this was uncalled for in my opinion. I also believe the citizen's rights were grossly violated and that he should seek legal recourse.

I am not and have never been a LEO. My avatar is in honor of my friend, Dallas Police Sargent Michael Smith, who was murdered along with four other officers in Dallas on 7.7.2016.
