Hey everyone! I haven't been very active here in a while as it has been a busy summer. I haven't related any good stories about Junction City in a while so thought I would throw this one out there.
I have managed a 15 unit rental here in town for just over a year now and have had a non-stop series of issues ranging from domestic disputes to violent drunks to various levels of narcotics being bought and sold in the area.
Well tonight (because I rarely get to sleep for long) I was having a cup of coffee on the sidewalk at about 2 a.m. when one of my problem tenants (who is familiar with the inside of a jail cell) out of the blue walked up to me and asked if my sidearm was loaded. Well in an instructional voice I told him that a S&W .38 is pretty useless without rounds and yes it was loaded.
Mr. Tenant proceeded to tell me his opinion of proper handgun law and he thought I was in violation. I informed him that the local P.D. was well aware of my carry habits and had for the last year had no problems or complaints about it.
Within a half hour Mr. Tenant walked over to the P.D. Dispatch (its only 1 block away) and demanded an officer talk to him immediately. He apparently told them that after a year of me managing and carrying that I just now caused him to feel threatened.
The officer on duty (who has responded to multiple calls made by me) came to chat with me a short while later. The content of which was mostly him just letting me know what happened and to let me know the entire dept. was aware of my legal carry and had no problem with it. We proceeded to have a real nice exchange of info on local issues.
I applaud the local P.D. on their common sense and practical behavior in response to dealing with the local problems. I like to give positive reports on open carry and professional behavior from leo's.
It's nice and quiet now at 4 a.m. (finally!)
