I was walking down meridian, open carrying my G19 in a Serpa CQC holster, I was stopped by approx. 4 police vehicles and 6-7 officers, and ordered to put my hands up, I complied. The officer had a hard time pulling it out of the holster, because he didn't know about the CQCs retention feature. my CPL was demanded, which I handed over. I was lectured on 'responsible gun ownership', was told I can't carry in banks, or walk past schools, and they even called 7-11 I had just left and asked the guy behind the counter if he remembers me in the store, and mentioned my clothing, and adding 'big ears'.... nice..
The incident is way more detailed than that, just some points. There was about 15 or so people that came out of the local stores to watch, all maybe 20-50' away. I SPECIFICALLY asked if I was being detained, and the response was 'Well, of course, you didn't think we're here to have a party, do ya?'
After I was released, I went back to the tint shop, where my car was getting done, I was followed.
I was also threatened that if they ever saw me open carrying again they'd arrest me, and even if I wasn't arrested, they'd hold my gun in 'protective custody'... They also told me they'd impound my car if my door sticker didn't match my VIN.
Keep in mind that I was WALKING when they stopped me, and followed me AFTER I was released, to the shop where my car was getting tinted....
