Asked to remove holster from Federal Building...

Long ago, back when we were still fighting for open carry in Oklahoma, I started wearing an empty holster everywhere I went. Once on the the OHP Troopers working the security checkpoints at the State capitol asked me what the holster was for. I told him it was "lawfully protected political speech" and I never EVER had another issue. I've also used this before with police officers who have asked about why I was carrying an empty holster, and it had immediately ended the contact.

That guy you spoke to must have told everyone in the state ! Amazing....

It will do nothing. Go back and do the same thing except DON'T remove it ... then he'll either arrest you or not. Either way its a win for you.

I understand-you had a hearing to attend...

Wow. That advice is really good. Amazingly good.

Blind squirrels and all.

Or go in w/o your holster, get your business done ... then go to your car, get it, and return with your holster ...

Or just pick a day when you have nothing better to do and carry your holster in in the first place!
