No, they're not wrong, but your reading of it is. Notice the reference to Terry vs Ohio.

Quote:
Terry stops constitute a seizure under the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution because they are a temporary restriction of a person’s liberty by means of show of authority or use of physical force. While considered a seizure, an investigatory stop does not need to be supported by probable cause; instead, it must only be justified by reasonable and articulable suspicion that the person stopped has committed a crime or is about to do so.
If open carry is not illegal, what suspicion of what crime could the LEO articulate to justify detaining you?

I suppose all those police agencies I mentioned were just giving their money away?
