We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I see, I didn't go to YouTube the first time. I just watched in the post.

OK, normally, I'm against LEOs stopping ordinary peaceful citizens but do have this reaction the LEO had to either know you personally, or have made several huge leaps in logic to avoid thinking you were loading up to rob the store. I'd like to know his thinking processes.
Obviously, (to you and me) no criminal is going to have their HG in a case, nor load up in front of a chief of police. Evidently, you just look Totally Harmless and nonthreatening. I think I might be insulted if I were you. Maybe you need to stop wearing pastels? (lol)

Was this one of the LEOs that responded to your Chicken Little in the bank incident?

The first to respond was the County Investigator, although the Chief of Police did show up later.
Is there a thread?

Yup there is. I titled it "Hardballer got me in trouble.::......"
If Hardbaaler doesn't post a link to it before I get home, I'll hunt it down.

Here's the thread about his previous LEO interaction... (26MAY):

Though to be fair, it is black, & was in a black holster...
I was a little surprised he didn't initiate the usual "so what is it" sort of conversation, maybe with some good-natured ribbing about what caliber & brand is "best".
Sure as heck wasn't questioning why I had it!

Especially considering I was standing under a street light at the time (end of my driveway).Shotgun said:

Thanks!
You know, just a thought... I actually learn a lot from reading these threads of "past encounters". It would be nice to have a sticky of these past encounters so that newbies to OC like me could go and read them and learn from others' experiences?

Heheheh... Yup, I'm very non-threatening looking. The Chief and I are acquainted from a previous stop. Personally, I think they leave me alone because they do not want any trouble for Buffalo County.
