I took my family down to Easter on Parade today on Monument Ave. Walked around, ate food, did some shopping - all with my Glock OC'd on my side. Not a word was said............until.......
we were heading down Monument on our way back to our car. I heard "excuse me sir, excuse me". I turned around and stopped to see 3 yellow jacketed VCU event staff workers standing before me. One guy said "um, are you 5-0?". I looked at him with the intentionally dumb, inquisitive look that I perfected over the years and replied "no, why?"
The guy responds with "oh, well I guess you have a permit for..." and I stopped him in mid-sentence with "Dont need a permit to carry like this". I then started walking away. The yellow jacketed gentleman started walking sideways to continue the conversation and he said "well we just dont want to see any problems on campus". As I continued walking, I looked over at him and said "I'm not on campus, I'm on a public street".
As I walked away, I started walking near an older gentleman who looked over and said "We're they asking you about your pistol?". I said "yeah, they were" and he replied "Ain't nothing wrong with carrying it like that! Now dont go buy a beer in 7-11 and start drinking it on the way out the door. One day I did that and there was a Chesterfield policeman there and........blah, blah, blah"
I looked behind me to see one yellow jacket still walking behind us. The lead guy that had asked me the questions ran to 3 RPD officers standing on the side of the street. As we walked by, the yellow jacket said something to the 3 officers and pointed to me. They barely even glanced my way. Guess they told him to cool his jets and learn the law before he bothers another law abiding citizen!
