I was grocery shopping today with my kids at the local WalMart when I was approached by an off-duty detective.
He said that he loved to see people open carrying and that he had been very excited about the Heller decision although he thought it could have been stronger on our behalf.
We talked for a good 15 minutes there in the middle of WalMart about gun rights and the excellent work that VCDL has done for gun owners here in VA.
He made a point of saying that the thing that makes him madder than anything else is when the press makes it seem as if LEOs are anti-gun when most (at least in our area) are 100% pro-gun.
As we were wrapping up, he turned to my oldest son and said "You should be proud of what your dad is doing here. Those who stand up for their rights today make sure you will have them when you grow up."
We need more reports of positive encounters. Those who have had them ... please post them.
