This happened way back last year in the middle of the winter. I don't know why I waited this long to post this :/
So let me first start out saying that I wasn't stopped for open carrying, I was in a car accident and the police came and thats when I had to talk to them.
I'll start at the beginning of the story.
Me, my girfriend and my friend were hanging out with a couple of peeps that were house sitting for some people. It was getting late so we decided to take off and I sat in the back seat of the truck my friend was driving. I was concealed carrying at the time and my holster was getting really uncomfortable so I decided to take it off, with the pistol still in the holster, and stuck it under my leg. My friend was going a little too fast on the road we were on and since this was the middle of the winter the roads had a lot of black ice around. We ended up hitting a patch of ice and ended up slamming into a guard rail and flipping twice and then lading on our side. I managed to grab my pistol and held on to it the entire time while we were rolling. We all were okay except for a few cuts from the broken glass. About 15 minutes after that, the EMT and the police arrived. at that time I already stuck my pistol in my jacket pocket. the police started interviewing all of us to see what happend. when he got to me the first thing I said was that I have a CPL and that I'm currently carrying. What surprised me was the cop wasn't too concearned about it. He just said "Okay, where is it?" i pointed to my jacket pocket, then he said "Oh okay, do me a favor and take it out and unload it." I did so and handed it to him. Then he asked to see my CPL. The officer asked if it would be alright for him to hang on to it until everything was taken care of. I said sure and he put it in his car. After everything was done he took it out of his car, took a good look at it and said "Wow, good looking pistol haha." (Springfield Range Officer). Then we ending up talking about pistols and open carrying for 10 minutes until out ride showed up.
Hope that didn't drag on too much I just felt the encounter would sound better if I told the whole story
