Oooh I was approached because of my gun once, but it wasn't because I was carrying openly, per se. The problem they had was that they wanted to keep me from going into the park for the 4th of July fireworks. There was a whole fuss about different laws, but no one ever actually had a problem with the way I was carrying...just the fact that I was, period.
Other than that unfortunate incident, I've had a couple other random conversations with law enforcement while carrying openly, but have never had any negative encounters. One State officer, who had pulled up behind me while I was changing a flat tire, did ask why I carried. I just told him I saw no reason not to. The option was at my disposal, and it allowed me to be more prepared for life's surprises. He smiled and said he just liked to ask peoplein order tohear their answers, and that he respected my right to carry and thought it was fine.
I've heard of a few less than pleasant encounters with leo's down in the Jacksonville area. I'm actually going down there in a few hours, so maybe I'll have another story for you when I get back. :celebrate
