Please do. The argument I mentioned up top is already over, but I'd love to read the citation anyway.
I guess it is the "Lammo citation," so it's no new information I guess... however the link is broken.
http://caselaw.findlaw.com/wa-court-of-appeals/1656591.html seems to work, I'll try to upload the PDF of the case. (And no, I can't, the filetype limit is 488kb and it is 502kb. If you go to
http://courts.mrsc.org/appellate/index_dtSearch.html and put in "State v. Cardenas-Muratalla" the only result is a PDF of the case.)
It it a published opinion however, which means it is law.
State v. Cardenas-Muratalla, COA No. 68057-9-1 (Feb. 3, 2014)
"The presence of a firearm in public alone is insufficient for an investigatory stop, but a report of actual or threatened use of a firearm can present a significant risk to public safety supporting an investigatory stop...
" The informant said Cardenas–Muratalla showed him his gun, but that he (the informant) did not feel threatened. Carrying a firearm is a crime if it is carried or displayed in a manner that either manifests an intent to intimidate another or that warrants alarm for the safety of other persons,20 or if it is willfully discharged in a place where there is a reasonable likelihood that humans, domestic animals, or property will be jeopardized. There is no evidence in the record that the 911 caller reported being intimidated or alarmed when the suspect showed him the gun or that the suspect discharged the gun or pointed it at anyone. In fact, the caller told the 911 operator, “He didn't threaten me. It's just that he showed me. I seen it․ Just calling to tell you, just calling to tell you."...
[As a side note, I saw "WILLFULLY" discharged there, I recall at least one case on here about four or five years back of one guy getting a charge for unlawful discharge when a Jimenez went off in his pocket on a bus and he shot himself in the leg.]
"Cardenas–Muratalla's presence in a high crime area at night, looking startled upon seeing the patrol car, and walking away from the doorway while talking on a cell phone do not justify a stop..."
