There are 2 versions of what happened tonight at Morell park in Henderson. The first is from my POV and only what I saw and heard with my own eyes, ears. The 2nd is what friends and family heard being said in the stands which I cannot confirm with certainty because I was not there.
My little sister had her first softball game tonight. I went straight from work to her game. I walked up to the field, said hi to my family and walked down the 3rd baseline where her dugout was. My father joined me a few minutes later to have a smoke. Before his smoke was out Henderson PD was there. 1 K9 and 2 other SUV's. They have a meeting for about 2 minutes while looking my way. I am about 100 yards from them and the parking lot. 2 of them make their way to me while 1 stayed back. I looked back over at them and they were walking rather casually towards me. They informed me they got a call that I had a gun tucked into my pants gangster style without a holster. I told them I was just open carrying watching my sister play ball. They said sorry that they had to make contact and pretty much that was it.
They view from the grandstands was much different. Once again this part is hearsay and third hand telling, even though it includes family and friends. A Henderson police detective was in the stands at the time. (I can confirm that a man in a dress shirt was open carrying a 1911) His wife was the one who got upset seeing me OC. She made him text HPD to check me out. After the cops left she yelled at him saying "you are the head detective in this city and you can't even stop a guy carrying a gun at our daughters softball game!?!?!" She was rather livid according to some people.
HPD was great. They smiled the whole time and apologized. The detectives wife made herself look like an idiot. The worst part was my sisters team lost like 20-2.
The most confusing thing is how can a detectives wife who is with her husband who is open carrying be upset when a pleb like myself does the same thing.
