Sorry it took so long to put back up guys. Ive been working alot since this went on. {with the cop}
Saterday night i stoped in at my local quick trip. I have never been there OCing, but anyway i stoped in and had my handgun on me openly and a off duty police officer confronted me. he asked me why i had my gun on me and i told him to protect myself. He told me that i cannot carry a gun into any stores like this and that this qt does not allow any kind of firearms there. So i told him that i did not see any signs telling me that firearms are not allowed and if this is store policy then i will get my drink and move on with my buisness. After i said that he asked me for my id witch i provided to him, soon after i provided my id to him he told me to put my hands up and took my firearm away from me. I can understand why he did that, but still i didn't quite like it.
He soon started to tell me the "what if's" and i replied with my questions also at the same time understanding what he was saying. I asked him if he knew about open carry and he replied "no, and that he had never in his 21 years of being a police officer ever seen anyone open carry before ". So i told him everything I could remember about the constitution and rights and how i was not violating anything. He went off to say that he understands the second amendment but non of that is relevent right now, and soon after he said that he ran my name and it came back clean. So i asked him if I can buy my drink and recover my firearm and be on my way. So i paid for it and turned around and he was taking down my serial numbers and i asked him if i can leave. He told me that he was going to check on my gun to make sure it wasn't stolen.
We steped outside and i asked him something else that i cant remember right now sorry. But he told me that if i dont be quiet that he will take my firearm away from me put it away at the station until i can prove that it is mine and he would like to see me prove it is, So at that moment i pulled out my papers and showed him them. He still wouldn't let me be on my way ran my numbers they came back clean and wouldn't give me my gun back. I asked him why and he wouldn't reply, So he called my mom over talked to her and gave her my gun and clip.
Over all he waisted 30 mins of my time. He did however tell me that if he see's me with my gun on me again that he will take it away from me. Really just to try to scare me into not doing it anymore and it didn't work I still and always will OC. I know that he cant do that, but from now on I wont give any of my info away like that again. I knew not to give any info away but I still gave it to him. Ive never had any problems with law enforcement while OCing its always been a head nod or just a look.
This is my first negative OC encounter with a police officer. I am vary sure that it will not be the last.
But again I am sorry fellas for taking it down but it should be easier to read.
