I went out for a late breakfast with the wife yesterday at the Hoadly Road IHOP. I took off my winter coat after we were seated (IHOP doesn't serve alcohol so CC was okay), and shortly after that 4 Virginia State Police came in for a meal.

I went to the restroom and passed them each way, first time with just my extra magazine nearest them, then on the way back they got a good look at my Taurus PT1911 in its Blackhawk SERPA holster. No comments, no wide-eyed looks, only good food and GREAT service.

That's been my experience with VSP. Heck that's been my experience with most police and sheriff agencies both here and in Arizona.

Regularly eat breakfast at IHOP next door to VSP Hdqtrs. in Richmond. Frequently exchange nods with officers but never experienced any negative vibs.

Staff always courteous and attentive too.

That's good to hear about our men in blue.

Although I will never patronize an IHOP** as long as I live, it's good to know they support OC.


(** several TERRIBLE service and food-quality experiences years ago)
