I was in the WalMart in O'Fallon on K a little while ago, and a guy approched me and asked for my ID. I think he was a LEO of some description, because he showed me something in his wallet that had what appeared to be a Sherriff "star" (not a badge though). He caught me when I was on the phone with my wife so I was a bit distracted.
Anyway, I got out my wallet and started unfolding it, and only got as far as my badge (I have my badge in my wallet from when I was a Vol. Firefighter in NY), and he was like OK and took off. I guess he ASSumed that I was also a LEO.
I don't know if he thought only LEO's can carry a firearm openly inMissouriand was looking for that, or if he wanted to see if I was old enough (unfortunatly I look young for 26) or what, but what would be the right answer if someone where to ask again? Should I ask them what for? Do I HAVE to show them ID?
Yesterday I was in Fazolis and three State Troopers came in while I was waiting for my food and they didn't even blink. Either they didn't notice, or knew the law.
Thanks
Dave
