For me it all depends on How they ask the question. If it's an accusing tone, I tend to be a smartass lol. But if it's a legitimate question out of curiosity, I'll usually just say "Nope I'm not," And normally there's a follow up question about the legality of carrying, so I'll try to answer whatever question they have to the best of my ability. I've actually referred a lot of them to this site, especially one's who are looking to start carrying themselves.

Best answer I've seen to this question*:

Are you a cop?

OCer: No hablo inglés.


*Not mine...I saw this on some other thread a while ago. Pretty good answer though!

I usually go with "No i'm not" But i am going to start using some of these liners for sure. I always am a very nice and upfront guy, so that helps to. But it does make a huge difference when you use a certain tone to say the same thing.

This hadn't happened to me until today. Went to Harris Teeter today after work today. I was in black pants with a shirt and tie. Totally uneventful until I was paying. Fresh faced kid, maybe 19 or 20 was bagging and sees my sidearm. The exchange was rapid fire like in a jimmy johns commercial on the radio. Went like this,

Him: oh, you with CMPD?
Me: no
Him: mattews pd?
Me: no
Him: mint hill pd?
Me: no
Him: union county?
Me: no
Him: FBI?
Me: no
Him: ....something freaky?
Me: ...I'd rather not say
Him: oh, right....yea..... ok.....have a nice night sir.

Gotta love the naive nature of most young people these days...

New to my collection

I usually say something strange..

"You are you a police officer?"

..."No, I am a sandwich".

By the time they stop thinking about it I have finished what I was doing and moved on.
