I have a friend that wants to OC. Being the cautious type he is, he asked a city police officer if it was legal to OC. The police officer told him absolutely NOT! Went on to say that if he seen anyone OCing that he/she would immediately be arrested! Not only that, but told him it was ok to carry a weapon in the car as long as it was in its orginal box, or out of reach!!! OMG this makes me mad! Now I dont know what police officer this was because I wasnt there, but I am mad as hell over it because now my friend wont even think of OCing due to this mis-informed officer. I believe my friend as we have been friends for a long time, and he was looking very forward in buying his first weapon, and has been looking for CC classes as well. Now, he does not even want to buy a hand gun at all!
How can I go about getting some resolve from this with out losing my temper? Do I need to call the city police station and talk directly to them? Draft a letter to mail to them? How can I go about getting them to not harrass anyone there. I will be moving there in just a few months, and I assure you that if I have my shoes on, I have my weapon / weapons on. Some concealed, some not. It just pains me that now he has been bullied into not even purchasing a weapon, much less OCing it for fear of being arrested. In his line of work, an arrest may consitute being fired. Help me out please.
