I can hear the conversation now. TMT " My neighbor mows his lawn
with a pistol on his hip." Police " Is he firing the pistol? " TMT
" no " Police " is he waving the pistol around?" TMT " no "
Police " Do you know that carrying an unconcealed weapon is legal?"
TMT " But I want you to harrass him". Police " Sorry, but we only
deal in criminal activity. Are you currently seeing a mental health
specialist?"

makes me wonder what the cops would say if the guy cutting his lawn with a
pistol on his lap was black.

For all I know Snag is black. I have never seen him. And also for
all I know the cops are black. The only cop I ever knew personally
was black. But the law is the same regardless.

Not much they can say , assuming the guy is not forbidden to own a firearm
.. And further assuming the guy is in fact on his own property .

Snag

The written law may be the same either way, but you don't seriously
believe that it is applied without regard to skin color, do you?

The fact that you do believe it, in the face of the reality that it's
simply not true, is at the root of the problem.

just remembered a recent incident, can't recall the details exactly, wasn't
it a (black) cop's car was being broken into, he drew his gun and chased
after the suspects, other cops arrived on the scene and SHOT the guy with
the gun (the black cop)?
