Excellent Upper Merion PD encounter

[marinakorp]

SO on SAT, I went to our local Bagelicious with my daughter for our customary SAT AM breakfast.

I was OC my Kimber Ultra Carry (as usual).

THe people at Bagelicious are wonderful to deal with, have had several discussions about carry, licensing, 2a (etc) as well as other conversations about life in general.

Well, there is usually one lady (customer) that is always upset with me carrying, has been verbal, and spoken to the bagelicious management. They told me to ignore her and to carry as I fee lcomfortable. They are OK with me in the store.... so I do.

This lady happened to be there this particulare AM, and was upset (she was sitting outside, and us inside)... she left at some point and we finished our breakfast in peace.

As My daughter and I were walking to the park to play on the swings... UM finest was driving dow hte street, let us cross in front of him in the cross walk (thank you) and then pulled over and rolled down his window (no lights or sirens, just executed the right turn and rolled down window)

UM: I just got a call about you (in a jovial light heared manner)
ME: Sorry to hear about that, not much I can do about it ( in an equally light hearted fashion)

UM: We got a call... it wasnt the first from this lady... she is a little...
ME: Nuttier than a snickers bar... I think I know who it was

UM: Something like that... she was at bagelicious...well I explained the whole constitutional thing..she didnt seem to get it (rolling his eyes and shruggin his shoulders)
ME: Thanks for taking the time...some people just don't get it. Have a good day...sorry you had to deal with the call.. (Me waiving and continuing towards the park)

UM: You too... rolls up window and drives off at a normal pace


Good Encounter...

Wow, Warminster would have had you proned out in the middle of the street and called in SWAT to boot you in the neck. How dare you exercise your rights?


Good job reporting on a cop that 'gets it'. it is refreshing!

Nice, I had a Lower Makefield officer tell me he wished more people open carried there would be less bull shiza to deal with.

THIS. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW THESE ENCOUNTERS ARE SUPPOSED TO GO.

Now if only every municipality could get this straight.
