If Reynolds’s account were to be confirmed, it should worry all 13
million concealed carriers in the United States (well, it should worry
everybody, but it should especially worry concealed carriers). Under
Minnesota law, concealed carriers are not required to tell police
officers that they are carrying until they are explicitly asked.
Moreover, in no state is the mere act of carrying a firearm sufficient
justification for a police officer to open fire (there is a crucial
difference between “carrying” and “brandishing” that is often ignored in
the press). If, as Reynolds claims, Castile was killed while doing no
more than reaching for his ID, then it seems clear that the officer was
in the wrong. How many other cops, one wonders, remain unaware of how
they should engage with citizens who are licensed to carry?
