Today I was picking up diapers for the little one, open carrying as usually, stop by the bank, no problem. In target no problem either, until I went to leave, there was a phila cop at the door, I walked by him and greeted him and continued to my car. It was crowded so I had to park like 100 ft away, and as I am about to throw the diapers in my trunk I here.."dont f*ckin move" and he grabbed my weapon from the holster. I turned to the officer and said i never consented to you touching my weapon.. he replied " I dont give a f*ck, its a privilege, not a right to have a permit and i dont need anyones permission." At this point im very pissed. so he calls for back-up and is telling me its illegal to open carry. I keep asking him what he stopped me for, he reason was that he wanted to go home at the end of the day... what??? " he said i dont know what your purpose is with a weapon and whats going on in your head."
back up arrives and these to cops are the rudest people in the world. The first officer who confiscated my weapon says "he told me that he never consented with a laugh. the other cop says "f*ck him" his partner then asked me why i am open carrying, and i reply "for self defense and its my right to do so" he flipped out and started cursing at me, "you young motherf*cker know it all arent you, piece of ****?" i told him its directive 137, he response was quick and made me laugh. "yeah directive 137 is on my computer and it says you cant open carry in philadelphia, oh wait the computer is down" lol yeah ok buddy. he then was getting mad that i told him to pull every car over to make sure they are legal, he said "your starting to scare me get on the ground" very forceful about it (scare you? you have my weapon lol). I did as he asked and said "you guys are a disgrace." he was pissed about that. after all was said and done the cop put the gun in my car and said " no more open carry, you hear me?" so as he walked away i re-holstered my weapon and said i ll never stop, you just encouraged me to do it more." he replied, then i just give you a hard time, everytime"
Well not a bad first encounter, i did go down to the district and file a complaint, and will be calling my state rep. i dont have audio but its on video in target parking lot.
