I stopped at a Kwik Trip this afternoon, parked on the street and noticed a shiny new, white, Dodge Charger gassing up. Had Sheriff's stickers all over it. I walked around to the passenger side of the truck and pulled my sidearm out, loaded a mag, racked the slide on my stainless 1911 and holstered it not 15 feet from the deputy.
As I walked by, I gave him a friendly smile and how do ya do? He looked up and said "fine, You?". Saw him inside too. No worries. Good guy. Said hello again and then he left. I have to say that this was the first time I holstered up in view and such close proximity of a LEO and it did provide an adrenalin rush.
Once again, a positive interaction with a local LEO. I expect this trend to continue in Buffalo County. Now if we can just vote out our extremely liberal DA, we'll be in good shape.
Funny thing though, I noticed a couple of ladies and a fella talking at another pump. When I walked past the Sheriff's Deputy, one of the ladies had that look on her face of perplexity and consternation like she just could not believe I had just done that and then walked right past the Deputy. When I came out, they were still there and she gave me the evil eye all the way to my truck.
I admit to finding a bit of humor in that.
