because I can but why because like literally because I can it's not common to witness the open carry of an AR-15 even though it's perfectly legal in some states at first the officers claim he was baiting law enforcement it is a setup trying to put police in a position to where either they abuse their power or they do something different to make them look bad they then ask the age-old question why not just comply and identify yourself so police officers like us we approach you through an illegal right okay now you don't give us information I don't even have to legally be talking to you guys right now since that incident he continued to open carry through the town and had multiple encounters with the Department until eventually they just stopped responding I think I have made it for the most part normal enough now that if anybody does call the authorities that they no longer stop me
