Court Rules Cops Can’t Stop-and-Frisk You For Carrying A Gun

About this video

Colion analyzes a Fifth Circuit ruling in United States v. Wilson that he argues prohibits law enforcement from stopping individuals based solely on suspicion they might be carrying a firearm. He breaks down Judge Oldham’s reasoning that exercising Second Amendment rights cannot create reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, comparing it to Fourth Amendment protections against unlicensed driving suspicion. Colion contends this ruling is especially significant as more states adopt constitutional carry, and warns that without such legal boundaries, rights-based profiling could become standard practice.

Key takeaways

• Colion teaches that the Fifth Circuit ruled officers cannot stop someone based solely on suspicion of carrying a firearm, as exercising constitutional rights does not create reasonable suspicion of a crime
• He argues the Wilson case could become foundational for challenging unconstitutional searches nationwide, especially as constitutional carry expands across states
• Colion warns that allowing suspicion alone to justify stops leads to profiling and erodes constitutional protections, turning policing into what he calls ‘pre-crime’
