Some background first. Wearing jeans and a nice pullover vneck shirt. G23 in a Blackhawk holster on my hip. Wife stayed in car because it was cold and she loves the seat warmer.
Sat evening we were on the way home and I wanted to stop by 7-11 to pick up a Big Gulp and maybe a samich. Pulled into the 7-11 parking lot and noticed a marked cruiser. Thought nothing of it and parked my vehicle. Went inside and straight to the BG machine. Next to it was a uniformed PWC police officer. Started filling up my BG and he went to the counter to pay for his sammich. Collected mine. Turned around and saw him walking towards me. He said:
Excuse me, can I ask if your law enforcement?
Nope, just a civilian.
Then, why are your carrying a handgun?
Mostly for self defense.
Why do you need one?
Because I live in Prince William County.
Well, how do I know you're not gonna pop off any rounds?
I won't. But, I don't know if your gonna pop off rounds either.
I won't, I've gone through background checks to wear this uniform and badge.
...
Can I see your ID?
Huh?
Can I see your ID and make sure your not a felon?
No.
Don't you want to help out law enforcement and help me to verify that your not wanted or your a felon?
No. I don't consent to a search nor will I show you my ID.
Why do you have an issue with me seeing your ID?
Because, I'm not required by law to show you and I don't consent to a search. I'm not doing anything wrong or illegal.
If your not doing anything wrong, you shouldn't have a problem letting me see your ID. Your already scaring people by openly carrying a pistol in public.
I don't consent. Thanks tho and have a good night.
<walked over to counter and paid for my drink and samiich. Left 7-11 and went towards my car. Officer followed me out and wrote down my license plate numbers. I waved to the officer, started my engine and left.>
Thoughts on how this went?
Even critisisms (of myself) are welcome.
Thanks,
