I am not at liberty to answer your question...

imported post

I was open carrying in the federal way area, walking my german shepherd, a random person was commenting on the dog, and asked... Are you a cop? I said no... I'm independent... / who are you with he asks? my response - "I am not at liberty to answer your question... "

His response was "oh... cool, nice dog!" - moves on...

Yep... so thats my random encounter...

I just downplayed it as much as possible.. I dont like negative encounters - I wouldnt count this as one.

Last time someone noticed my firearm was at the gas station around the corner from where I live, I was in line to pay for my gas and the guy behind me literally bent over for a closer look at my firearm... people are strange.. lol

I'm not sure your correct what he said does not necessarily seem as though he is trying to convey he is LE but some could construe it that way I suppose.

That doesn't apply...

Doesnt further our cause being flippant like that, but it's not illegal either.

If I was involved in that conversation I would be led to believe he was in a private security field of some sort. Whether private investigations, security, or body guard duty... Who knows... But that is what it would have sounded like to me.

I have a bunch of shirts with different shields and names of different law enforcement agencies. I never wear them when open carrying... Just cautious.

when asked "Who i was with"... i would have replied... "My dog of course..."
