Well today my wife and I went grocery shopping at Hy-vee.Like I have done dozens of times before I was open carrying while we were shopping.Everything went ok,I didnt seem to notice any actions from people out of the ordinary when seeing someone carrying open.We loadded our stuff up and proceeded to leave when a local LEO pulled up behind our vechile,lights on,he got out of his car,drew his weapeon,and told me to put both my hands out the window where he could see them.He approached my widow the asked if I has a weapon,and WHY I had a weapon.We chit chatted some..........he then asked me to get out and give him my weapon.........for his safety,I told him I didnt think I had to surrender it to him as I had done nothing wrong,and was not breaking the law.I eventually gave it to him,along withy my drivers license.He ran my license and the came back and gave my weapon back and told me I should have told him I have a CCW ,I told him that I didnt need a CCW to carry open,he told me he knew that but somebody in the store complained to the manager and felt threatened.The manager then called them,and here we are.Its amazing how stupid some people are................thinking only LEO's or bad guys carry weapons.
