So I'm in the Fed Way Super Walmart doing that shopping thing walking throught the store. I turn around and change direction and lo and behold a cop is approaching. The exchange was pleasant and in a non-confrontational tone, it went something like this--
me: hi officer
cop: good evening, can I talk to you for a minute?
me: sure
cop: I see you're open carrying and I know you're legal but we got some calls so I'm just making contact. I understand the whole 2nd ammendment and I'm all for it but people are a little tense.
me: so
cop: do you have some ID and a ccp
me: yes
cop: can I see them?
me: uh ok (since I did drove to the store and had already made purchases at the pharmacy I figured ok since the officer didn't give me any attitude)
cop: we told the manager as we came in that you were legal but we would talk to you. I'm not going to run your ID just need the basics for my report.
me: according to the open carry website I frequent Walmart corporate just follows state law so I'm good.
cop: (nods to my statement) thank you for your cooperation, here's your ID have a nice day.
as we finished another officer showed up and the first officer said "he's good. I saw his ccp and his ID"
At no time did they try to disarm me or even glance at my gun. I continued on my way and finished my shopping and left. No other incidents or even glances so I guess it was an ok encounter. Not great but ok
