So i'm planning on going to my long beach wal-mart, and there is a police shooting range right behind it.. Maybe some of you people might know where this location is..
BUT since i know there are alot of police over there getting in trigger time i was gunna be extra careful with this.
So i decided to try what the police told the UOC'ers yesterday in San Pedro
"ohh just let us know when and where so when we get a MWAG cal blah blah blah"
I call and they asked me "why would you need to carry a gun to wal-mart?"
Me: Self protection, The same reason you might carry a gun.
LEO: "Can i have a description of you, or what you will be wearing?"
Me: White male, 5'9 blah blah...
LEO: "what is your first and last name"
Me: My name is Patrick, I will be willing to show you my i.d if i do come into contact with an officer, BUT i am not legally obligated to do so, i am just offering to make thing easier, but i'm not going to release my full name to you at this time.
LEO: "What is your phone number?"
Me: 562-phony number
LEO: "what kind of vehical will you be driving?"
Me: If i'm on foot in wal-mart why would you need to know that? Are you going to follow me around after this? why do you need all this information, im sure if an officer comes into contact with me he will be able to find out in his investigation
LEO: "we'll you arent being straight forward with me so i'm just trying to figure out what your planning on doing and everything."
Me: I'm planning to lawfully shop at my local wal-mart and just thought i would try to work with my local police department to make things a little smoother when you do get a MWAG call, maybe we can handle thinigs a little different and you would know the person you are responding to isnt an immediate threat.
After this he was kind of just trying to discourage me not to carry and that i will for sure be seeing officers and what not.
As i am only going to be with my girlfriend for this trip, and they already know im coming... I'll just leave my weapon in the car for this one visit.
I would feel a little more comfortable with a group of maybe 3 or 4 but i mainly just wanted to test the waters of my local PD and see what they would say if i did do what they ask and call and inform of when and where.
Seems they dont like it if we do or we dont.
Classic catch 22
