Ok, I am not typing this all again. I am going to copy and paste the two posts from Nevada Shooters.
The first post was posted from my cell phone while I was sitting down at the Carls Jr, and the second was after I got home.
I am sitting in Carls Jr and I am OCing my glock17 on my right hip.
The security guard has been eyeing me since I walked in. He walked outside and called someone on his cell. Then he came back in and went behind the counter and pointed at me and whispered something and has been staring out the window like he is waiting for someone.
He just went outside and is looking up and down the street like he is expecting someone.
Wish me luck! Lol
This next post is after I got home.
Ok, well the cops did show up, and it was a pretty nice coversation. The cop was a cool guy, I should have gotten his card and told him about NS.
My girlfriend got sick of sitting there, so we got up and went to our cars. He followed me to my car and wrote down my license plate number, so I got back out of my car and said to him "Hey buddy, you can tell them I am going to take Nellis to Charleston, and Charleston up to Hollywood". And he goes "Tell who?". So I said "I assumed you called the police on me, and I am going to go home now, so I wanted to let you know where I was heading". So he asks where I am going again and writes it down. So I asked him if he knew that OC is legal in Las Vegas, and then he sayd "I know, but you should really get a CCW, I have one for 4 of my weapons, it is much safer, if you carry in the open, you'll get shot by a cop". I said I OC every where and have never had a problem. I told him to have a good night and I got back in my car and started it up and the police called his cell phone.
He told me the police will be here in less than a minute so I said I'd stay and got out of my car. I pulled out my DL,CCW, and blue card just to be on the safe side.
The cop pulled up and started walking up to us and the security guard says "This person has a gun on his hip", and the cop replied "And?" -LOL
The cop said, you know he isn't breaking any laws right? He is within his rights to carry his sidearm like that, it is ok, why don't you go stand over there and I'll talk to him for a few.
The first thing he does, is look at my gun, and say "Damn bro, you need a better holster than that!" I knew it was going to be ok from then on. He told me I was free to go, and I don't have to talk to him if I didn't want but he would run me if I wanted him to, I tolld him I didn't care either way so he just handed me back my stuff and we kept talking.
He was telling me how much safer CCing is because a BG can pick me out of a crowd and "smoke" me. lol He was going over the dangers of OC and was being cool and kept saying he wasn't trying to chastise me for exercising my right, but he was just trying to give me a few tips.
He was kind of making fun of the security guard too. He said this is that guys hot call, and this is a lot of action for the guy and laughing about it.
He told me how much he loved his HK USP.45 too.
All in all, it was a great LEO/OC encounter, and I think the cop educated the security guard about what is legal and not legal.
I can't wait to get my new CCW in the mail so I can carry my 26 so I won't have to deal with anymore b/s from security guards that don't know whats up.
Maybe it was the cops training on OC, maybe it wasn't. I think this LEO just knew what was going on. He was really into guns, and told me he carried for 10+ years before he became a LEO.
Either way, I am glad it went like it went.
