Was in Ocean City MD this weekend.
Went down on the boardwalk this morning, and noticed a guy. Looked like a typical toughass sort, overall, but something about his whole "partiot" persona didn't fit. I thought he might be LEO, or maybe recently separated from the Marines, or something, but no clue, really.
Then I noticed it...
He was sporting a pretty official-looking badge on his belt. On his left hip (so I'm thinking he's right-handed right off the bat)... it clearly stated "Concealed Handgun Permit" (Keeping in mind this is MD)... so I start wondering.
No info on jurisdiction or issuer... just a really serious-looking badge.
I didn't engage him, as I was with the wife and she was in jewelry-mode <VBG>
But, on seeing him again later (prominently seated for lunch at a table right on the visible side by the boardwalk), I had come to the conclusion that he was just looking for attention and I can simply call BS on this and move along.
Thoughts???
