Freudian slip?
Welcome to GUNNUTZ! Some folks tend to forget that this is a Newbie forum, thus Newbie questions...and thus get roasted. You'll get this $hit no matter what forum you're on or what you ask...questions on bear defence, is Glock the best? and just about anything that someone can take a cheapshot at, they will! Get used to it, but have fun as there are folks who really do want to help and will pass along some very good information.
Maybe, if all of us had some spare time on a sunday or five in succession, we could do just what the op suggests, open carry, safely, legally and with a smile and the firearms act on hand. Inform people, the police, and do it nicely, in a non combative way. It would have to be done with the right people, there is 0 room for error. Maybe even paired with some kind of community event? Like a barbeque in the park or something? It seems like this might also work. I mean sure, the first time you would definately spend your sunday detained, maybe the second or third, but by the fourth they might start thinking, oh it's sunday. And that would be a pretty good start.

A cop hater eh? I've dealt with many of them and they all have a few things in common.
I got "arrested" over an issue very close to this last weekend. I decided to save some cab money and get some exercise by walking to the range. So I grab my range bag, put my rifle in it's soft case I made, and start walking. I was a few blocks away when a cruiser pulled up in front of me, followed by two others. Seems that some lady had seen me, guessed I had a rifle, and got scared and called the police.
The officers had a fun time debating if my case was a legal container since I sewed it myself out of denim, then they arrested me for Careless Storage over the two loaded mags in my range bag. So they drive me back to the Mill Woods station, take all the junk in my pockets, and I almost cried a little when an officer walks in while putting on latex gloves. I thought I was going to get raped, but he just searched me. About a half hour later they gave me back my stuff, told me not to scare any more old ladies, asked what my orange tipped Spitzer ammo was since the arresting officer originally thought it was red tipped phosphorus. They were nice enough to give me a ride to the range so I didn't have to walk past the lady's house again.
The best part of the day was that the range was closed for IPSC on the 28th and 29th, so I couldn't shoot anyways. I died a little inside and got a cab home.
So, the moral of the story is to check that the damn range is open, and to stay away from old ladies who will call the cavalry on you. Definitely not my best Saturday, but it could have been worse. Guess this meant I need to buy a Keltec so it can just go in my range bag with everything else.

IMO Factor in people's media induced fear of anyone with a gun, their ignorance of the law, and the cop's to match........
wear cammo, stay off the roads and trails, if you hear people or ATVs get off trail...... hide form the public..... or sooner or later some jackass will call the cops on you for legally having a long gun in a legal area legally hunting and they'll treat it like a madman with a gun incident.
Legal gun owners are pretty much lumped in with the illegal ones these days so you pretty much have to think like a wanted criminal to hunt without being treated like one.
This is based on 4 years of reading CGN postings int eh firearms media section, and personal experiences. Most people and cops may not be anti gun but it only takes 1.......

Few people from any group have everything in common and none of the people in every group have everything in common.
No point in hating any group.......... stick to individuals, some are jerks some are not.
gah, I think this was for the guy you replied to
Another idea(law)...have 3 unsuccessful attempts to be killed and here is you concealed weapon permit. (I think by the third time my assassins would know how not to screw up)
LOL LOL LOL
Yeah because you saw exactly what happened and not a video of an intersection
See above
You guys are great you see a video of an intersection and hear a cop directing someone to drop a knife. And some how this turns into a cop ececuteing a guy. Yeah there is not prexisting biases here lol lol lol

did the cop have to shoot him 5 times?
i live in toronto and no word of a lie i have had three threats of someone shooting me i'm a white male 29yo and drive a ford fiesta i wouldn't think i'm imtimadating or try to walk like i am the last time i had to call police to the gas staion because a man was arguing with his girl friend and she had ordered food when the food came out i didn't know if was mine of hers i glanced over to see if she was going to move to the counter and i get wtf you looking at do you want nine shots in you and a restricted license holder i knew that i don'.....want nine shots in me. so it was her food they started out the door still arguing i started dialing the police needless to say they showed up quick but how quick is quick? they arrested the man and of course he did have a firearm on him so the first thing i say to the police is thanks for coming so quick but why should i have to wait for you why should i not be able to protect myself canada and i know i''l get some slack for this is canada is not the nice peacfull place most of the people think it is well not since we opened the flood gates and invited all this riff raff here and they know that when they carry a gun only cops and other thugs have guns what is a regular person suppose to do just curl up in the fetal and hope he walks away wtf i want concealed carry in the province or hire 2000 more police in toronto other wise i'll keep my shotgun in my unsuspecting ford fiesta because i would rather be judged by 12 then carried by 6 f you if you dont like it

I walk from my home to a piece of crown land to hunt sometimes. I pass through two small towns on my walk. I usually have my long gun in a sock, but sometimes just strapped to my shoulder. I am usually wearing camo, and have a big red beard. (like the duck commanders long lost brother), so i dont think i really scare anybody. Ive done this walk down the side of the highway probably 50 times over the past 2 years with no problem at all, even get picked up when i hitch hike home on occasion. Of course ive had a hypothetical strategy in mind should i ever get a complaint or the wrong cop, of exaggerated compliance, and full disclosure....I wouldnt try hitch hiking with a shotgun slung to my back in Toronto, but the above should make it obvious enough that Toronto is not where i belong
As a side note; the one time i did see a cop as i walked past his speed trap. I made sure not to approach the vehicle, and keep my hands clear of my firearm. They gave a little nod too, to acknowledge my efforts and to let me know that they had no beef.
