I was told by a Memphis Police officer recently that I had to cover up my pistol if I was going to carry it in Kroger. I asked the officer why I had to and he stated that he was working at the store as a security guard not as an officer. This last weekend, I completed the Armed Security guard class at a local range here. I asked the instructor what should one do in a situation like that, he said to leave or cover it up. The instructor said that the officer could be working as a security guard. So, just be aware that in Tennessee, police officers can moon light as security guards while wearing their uniforms. I just covered it up and kept on shopping. It was just a shock to me to have a police officer in his memphis police uniform tell me to cover up my gun.
