It was my turn to defend Open Carry
So this afternoon I had to stop in the dollar tree in Spring Grove. I was wearing black slacks, white shirt, Glock 23, and a tie. I left my jacket hung up in the truck and walked in. Quite a few folks gave me a look. So I grab what I needed and head the cashier. Once there, one of the ladies asked me what time the funeral started and the other says: "Boy I am glad you have your badge beside your gun". I asked her what do you mean by that? She says, well someone would think you might wanna rob the place. I started to laugh a bit and asked if she had ever heard of someone robbing a place while carrying a weapon in the open (yeah I know, it can and does happen). I then said, besides it is completely legal for me to do so without my badge and if I wasn't an officer. Anyone can walk in here with one displayed. She cocked her head and said now that I think about it, you're completely right. I asked for directions to the school and headed out the door
Anyways, thought I'd share that with y'all

Nice to see a LEO, defending OC. Awesome well done! Rep sent. Sounds like a great encounter all in all.

Re: It was my turn to defend Open Carry
It's understandable that there is some fear at that location. There have been 2 shootings in that strip mall the past few years.

Re: It was my turn to defend Open Carry
Thanks guys! I am by no means the perfect cop, we all make mistakes, but I try my best. It really annoys me when I hear fellow officers screwed something up. And trust me, it happens alot. Really annoys me when I tell some new officers; No you can't do that and they don't believe me. Normally I hand them the law book and say read it all and then come back to me.
Plus who is going to rob a store with 300 PLUS cops next door??
