I wrote a quick article on the Combs verdict today. I am super happy for Sean and for Michigan!!! Way to go jury!

Michigan court rules in favor of teen who open carried rifle
------------------------------------------------------------------
Sean M. Combs is only 18 but he already knows more about civil rights and Michigan gun laws than the officers who arrested him in April for carrying an antique M1 Garand rifle slung over his shoulder.
The two officers, Rebekah Springer and Gina Potts, saw Combs carrying the rifle in Troy Michigan and demanded his ID. When he refused, noting that he was not violating any laws, he was arrested and charged with Brandishing, Disturbing the Peace, and Obstructing an Officer.
I have written before about the misuse of these “catch-all” charges to chill the rights of citizens and this case appears no different.
