As I was working outside yesterday (armed of course) I see a beat-up ford explorer pull into our parking area for our storage business. It did not look familiar as one of our renters cars. So after a few minutes I walk over to the other side of the building, and here is the car, nobody is around, nobody is in their storage units. Who's friggin car is this?
The GF comes over and wonders the same thing, the way it was parked made it look like they were trying to hide the vehicleso it could not be seenfrom the street.
She decides to call the sheriff to see if it is stolen, or if they are looking for it and it got abandoned here with them taking off on foot through the woods by us.
Something just didn't seem right about this.
In the mean time while she is waiting for the deputy to show up, a neighbor I see once in a while comes over, I ask him if the explorer looks familiar, and explain the cops are on their way to see if they can figure anything out about it.
He freaks out at this point and says "You better go hide your gun before they get here, or your going to get arrested" so I give him a puzzled look andask "why do you think that?
he starts off with "You can't just have a gun on you, your going to get arrested and hauled off to jail I see you walking your dogs with it on your side, and I cannot believe you have not gotten arrested for that yet."
As I try to explain our gun laws, and 2A rights, the first deputy pulls in, he asked my GF if she had called, she explains that she has, and points to the explorer, he runs the plate, then calls the listed owners phone number to leave a message that if it is not moved within 1 hour it may be towed. Everything is fine, they tell us if it is still here after an hour to give them a call and they will have it towed as an abandoned vehicle.
The deputies leave after about 15 minutes of hanging aroundand my neighbor is standing there with a dumbfounded look on his face, saying "I cannot believe they didn't even say anything about your gun, I thought you were going to jail for wearing that!, why didn't they ask for your ID to make sure you were legal, I thought they were going to draw their guns on you and arrest you etc etc etc"
Right about that time, the GF turns her strong side towards him and says "So you never noticed I am always armed too?" I thought the guys jaw was going to fall off because it fell so hard.
On & on he went about "you just can't wear a gun anyplace you want to go, because i'll get arrested for it."
I took the time to explain the whole O-C deal to him, and now he wants to learn more and be able to legallyexercise his rights too.
So, no harassment from the cops, not even a request for my name, no fuss either.
And I got to educate someone else about their 2Arights,
all in all it was a productive day besides havingsomeone use our property astheir own little privateparking lot to hide their POS explorer.
