And here we go again with the bashing of folks based on their means of carry. We're here for the SAME PURPOSE! So my question is why are you posting it here instead of going directly to the individual who told you this tale? (obvious answer being that you cannot because you don't know who it was)
That said, nothing in the Springfield news either. Likely rumor mill or perhaps an incident that didn't get reported to LE...I'd go with the previous.
Um, since you do not know me and the fact that I support and practice open carry on, occasionally on NATIONAL NEWS
, why would you assume I am bashing open carry or any other carry?? I am reporting the fact that such a rumor may exist and wanted to know if anyone else had heard of this actually happening. I am looking for the truth, for good or bad. The person who said this to me is a person with authority over me at my job and does not handle being questioned on the veracity of their statements very well, THAT is why I am asking here. And where else would I be more likely to run down such a rumor than on a forum where people pay attention to such things?
AND in the process, I have been able to find out that the other rumor from Virginia is probably false, too, to the benefit of all who are newer to these forums.
Recap: I do not bash, I open carry, I ask questions whether I may like the answer or not unless it involves insinuating that one of my managers may have been "misinformed".
