it was sunday about mid-day i had a friend come from valdosta to head to the shooting range with me. after a couple of boxes we decided to head to wal-mart to pick up a few things. i go into the wal-mart so often that i have friends in there now. i walked all over wal mart while OCing. no one said anything. i get to the electronic section and start looking at movies when i hear these little kids talking about shooting. i look up and laugh at what they are saying. as i turn back around i see a young lady with dear eyes looking at me. i continue to look for these movies and the yound lady walks up to my friend and says. "How can you walk beside a man with a gun?" she looks back at here and tells her that she owns one to. the employee looks back at me and ask all sorts of questions like. do you have a quick temper? if i was to start shooting which way should she run? why do i need a gun? and all that good stuff. im guessing throughout the whole convo someone over hears. next thing i know im surrounded by 2police officers who are asking me why do i have a gun and if i knew that i am commiting a felony. i told them i have a GFL and i didnt know it was a felony. they informed me that wal mart is considered a public gathering.. i laughed and said hell the hallway to my apartment can be a public gathering to.. needless to say they didnt find that too funny.Cop 2 informed me thatwith a GFL you can onlycarry in the streets and in your car because a buildingcan be a public gathering.they asked me if they could see my DL. i handed it over and they ran my name in their database. i noticed someone else OCing but i didnt say anything. i pointed it out to my friend and one of the cops looked that way with her. the first cop handed back my DL and asked if i would leave. i did because im not into the whole going to jail thing... the whole time they did not ask to see my GFL which i thought was very wierd. i call the police station to see if in fact i was in the wrong and i was placed on hold for about an hour. i decided to hang up and continue on with my life because i could tell they wanted to give me the run around.
is there any truth to what the officers told me and if so then what is the point of a GFL if every building can be considered a public gathering
