A police officer can arrest you for any reason. NEVER argue with
an arresting officer or any other law enforcement officer for that
matter. Do not resist the officer physically or verbally. You may
also be charged with resisting arrest. Save your argument for the
judge. If the judge truly believes you were unaware (not willfully) in
violation of the law, the judge can then dismiss the charge based
on your ignorance. This is one of the few times that "ignorance of
the law' may be an excuse.
Be Securely Concealed, Polite, Courteous, and Smartly Sober when
carrying. You are rightfully and legally held to a higher standard of
conduct when carrying a firearm. Carrying is not for everyone.
When in doubt...Don't carry. If you truly believe you're going to need a
gun when going some place...AVOID the place!
