Hmm... Two people arrested for disorderly conduct? Are these the same folks who were cited for disorderly conduct in San Antonio last month?
the arrests were over people OCing handguns, but they werent "handguns" they were black powder revolvers which are exempted. To lazy to dig the video up but it was funny at one point they got the cop to read the law handed to him by one of the bystanders. He was reading it loudly then hit the exemption and suddenly got all quiet. They still arrested them of course though, gotta respect muh authori-tie I suppose.
It was a perfectly lawful arrest in San Antonio. I find it funny the guy in the crowd crying, wrongly, about the sixth amendment. They also did not know the disorderly conduct law well. While the Trooper had PC to believe the handgun was a firearm, even if it is not the gun is a deadly weapon; therefore, it is subject to disorderly conduct.

How can you know if the guy being arrested intended to cause alarm?... even if it is not the gun is a deadly weapon; therefore, it is subject to disorderly conduct.
The arrests in San Antonio were for rifles which were on slings over their shoulders. The black powder revolver arrests were in Austin and the revolvers were all holstered. How do slung rifles and holstered revolvers fall under disorderly conduct?

I don't. However, the officers only need probable cause, and IMO they had it.How can you know if the guy being arrested intended to cause alarm?
Starbucks is definitely a gun-friendly establishment. I've never had an objection from any of their employees when I happen to drop in, open carrying, for a coffee and snack during the day. Nevada allows open carry of pistols and I exercise that right as much as possible.
