On 09/05/11, approximately 1525 hours. While in line I was approached by a male, 40-45 yo, approx. 5'7", balding, obese. wearing a red tee shirt with a firetruck on it. He told me emphatically that I need to cover my firearm, insisting that it is illegal to carry an exposed firearm in the state of Connecticut. I advised him that I would not cover it because it is perfectly legal to open carry. He again insisted that I should cover it before I cause a problem. I asked him if he was a LEO. He didn't know what that meant. I told him that was a law enforcement officer. He told me he was at one time a firearms instructor in the state of Connecticut. I advised him that he should re-educate himself before pursuing that form of work again. I ordered, received, fixed my coffee and left. the subject followed me out, but did not make further contact with me.
