had a man today in Flint ask me if I was the "po lice"
I responded no. he quick responded, mainnnn you can't do that, if the police round here see you he'll shoot you dead!
I politely told him "I absolutely can carry like this and if you can own a gun, you can too, frankly, if it was illegal I wouldn't be doing it"
he said "main I got my ccw and I know you can't do that"
I said "I also have a cpl, and I can do it."
he just kept stonewalling me with NO YOU CANT DO THAT I KNOW IM RIGHT.
how should I handle situations like this?
I politely told him I had dealings with the police quite often, and none have ever shot me.
thoughts?
please keep the legality from your answers, most topics get side tracked with law citations about firearms. we all know we are within our legal right to do what we do, how can I respond to people who stonewall?
had a few positive encounters today as well.
talked to a kid young kid, about 10 maybe, at blockbuster I asked him if there was anything rad I should rent, he told me he was looking for call of duty, then his eyes lit up real big when he noticed my gun and kind of shyed away to the other side.
once I was on the other side he talked to me for a minute then his dad came over and we talked video games for a second, then his eyes lit up too, "you just walk around packin like that?"
I responded "absolutely, it's 100% legal, if you'd like more information check out opencarry.org"
as I walked away I heard his son ask "don't you have to have a licence to carry a gun?"
his father responded that i probably did. I think it was a positive encounter.
the cashier asked me on my way out "you just open carry like that?" I said yeah and he told me how awesome it was to see people doing it and asked if I got hassled a lot.
i got a couple thumbs up from dudes at best buy.
I carry a brown galco shoulder holster and mostly wear black and white clothes so it's always highly contrasted and visible.
anyway, sidetracked, answer my question!
