Oh man, here we go. Which Wal-Mart was this? Do you happen to know what police district it was (east, west, central, or southern)?
Wal-Mart on Elmsley off of S. Elm Eugene.
Hmmmm, ok, southern. That is usually the store I go to for ammunition.
Well, I'm glad you were not hassled. GPD is still not too used to people openly carrying a gun. I am concerned about the statement of coming back if they're called. It does sound as though the officer needed to find something to say. Of course they'll "come back" if they are called out there (for a MWAG or any other call).
I am sure though that he knew it was not illegal but perhaps wanted to present the situation of doing something or investigating if there was a call. A citizen wouldn't warrant any police action if no crime was being committed other than seeing or talking to you real quick to determine anything illegal has or was happening; and if the store called, I am guessing that they would need to ask you to leave first unless they wanted to call the police to do it for them, either way, nothing illegal happening and no investigation, detainment, citation, or arrest would be warranted.
Thanks for the report though, keep up the good fight.
