My first post here guys ... hope I'm not too annoying
12:51 am. Tonight, after many months of OC'ing to the local sunoco (and everywhere else) for midnight ice cream walks, with my wife (she OC's as well). I had my first enocounter with an LEO because of my visible weapon. He passed us once in his patrol car, then circled the block, this time exiting his vehicle, asking "do you have a permit for that?" (in a rather professional tone) To wich, I replied "no sir, i do not need one" To that statement, he replied " I know, It's just not often you see a couple walking down the street with a pistol".... After the initial confrontation, the LEO and i stood there and small talked for almost 20 minutes. During this conversation another point came up, as he "warned me" to "watch out" for the PA state police as they might "give me more trouble and possibly frisk me" for carrying a weapon like that. To which, I countered, " that if they stop me for no reason, like he had just done, I would persue legal options for a "Terry stop". To which he admitted, even though HE HAD JUST DONE IT that he knew it was illegal ..... :banghead::banghead::banghead:. I think he might have just been bored ..... LOL
Fortunately, He was one of the most professional people I have ever dealt with. .. especially for a young LEO...
For the record, My OC pistol is my Glock G20 in 10mm, My wife's being a Springfield Armory XD45 5" barrel ... both in Serpa hip holsters
