    He got out his LTCF and was looking for the word "concealed". He said "Well you're right about that. I don't know though. Seems risky".
    For all I know, maybe he just didn't like open carry and was trying to influence me. There were two other customers there and another salesman that didn't say much. He did seem sincere with his questions so maybe it was the deputy that people complain about at the courthouse.

    It was interesting because I'm used to people here on the forum and things become common knowledge

    I've offered to buy the entire bar a round if they could find the word "concealed" anywhere on their license. Spent the next 5 minutes watching everyone pull out their wallets and flip their license over and over trying to find it. Haven't had to buy a drink yet.

    Is that untrue?
    Rules are written in the stone,
    Break the rules and you get no bones,
    all you get is ridicule, laughter,
    and a trip to the house of pain.

He may have even come to this website, and perhaps he's even reading this thread.
    even if he were here, i bet he'd never speak of the topic again. much less apologize.

    Man: That's illegal. You have a CONCEALED PERMIT FOR DEADLY WEAPONS.

    Me: My license doesn't say concealed on it.

    Man: yes it does. You're going to get arrested.

    Me: Alright.

    Man: I'm helping you out buddy.

    Me: Alright.

    A few minutes later I see him rifling through his wallet, looking at his own LTCF.

    I'm not going to argue with someone who 'knows' everything.
    Yes it does!

    If you had played that differently you would be drunk by now with all the drinks owed you!

    And that instructor should be reported to the NRA.
    I doubt his personal opinions well be appreciated.
