Neither. It was Black Friday. LEO was in the store when I arrived. There were 3 LEO at the front door, which I walked passed. They looked at my holster, looked at me, I nodded and they nodded back. No problems. There were 2 LEO in the back of the store. They are the ones I had the trouble with. As soon as they saw me they came up and asked for my ID. I was unaware that I didnt have to show it, so I gave it to them. While one asked me questions the other grabbed my arm, put it behind my back and took my gun from me. I did know that they were not allowed to disarm me, and I informed them that I was aware of this. I was polite and respectful the entire time. The response was, "Sir, you are getting aggressive. This is for our protection." At that point I figured I just better keep my mouth shut and play along.
After they found out I wasn't a felon and that the gun was mine, they walked me to the front where the 3 other LEO were. They asked what I did and the 2 said "Nothing, we are just checking him out." I could actually see the look of shock on the other LEO's face. So I guess to cover for their buddies they told me, "Any other day and we wouldn't have said anything, but this is Black Friday."
And, one of the funnier points, as they were walking me out to my car (the 2 original LEO's that I had trouble with) they said they noticed I had hollow-points in my gun, and they are illegal for anyone to carry except for LEO, but they weren't going to press the issue now. I figured they were just trying to make it seem more like I was doing something wrong so I didn't write any nasty letters that day.While scouring the internet to see what information I could find on open carry, I found this site. So, all's well that end's well.
I am now glad I'm aware of the laws.
little buddy watched for a moment and disappeared, he came back a minute later with his silver Colt cap gun:lol: I told him stuff it in his belt and lets go!
