The non-eventful moment was yesterday afternoon as I was walking my dog. I had gotten back from work and was still in a suit and tie, minus the jacket. I was openly carrying my 1911 while meandering the sidewalks, waiting for the dog to do his business. As I was walking, a VA Beach police cruiser drove by, suddenly stopped, did a U-turn in the street, drove down the road back towards me on the wrong side, then parked facing me about 25 feet away. The cop in the car then proceeded to stare at me for five minutes... just stare. No radio talking (as I could notice), no getting out to talk, nothing, just staring.
Since there was no one else out walking or driving by much while I had been out, he must've just been driving by on normal patrol, saw me, and decided to... stare. God knows what he was trying to do, be it intimidate me by the stare-down technique, or try to see if I took off running for some bizarre reason, or even if I wasn't going to pick up the dog poop from the grass :lol: So, it was a non-event, in the strict sense, but quite weird from my point of view. Every other VA Beach cop I've seen before while OCing just walked on by or nodded or otherwise kept on with their day, while this guy watched me for no reason like I was a drive-in movie. Strange!
