I just had to walk in a store. Small store. I know the shop owner.
Before I walked in there was a lady parked next to me who just got out of her car. I smiled at her and said hello as I got out of my car. She walked in first while I got something out of my back seat. I could tell she had a nervous smile on her when I walked in. She paid for what she needed and left. The shop owner smiled at me and told me that when she came in she said, "Quick, call 911! That man outside has a gun!" So the first thing this woman would have seen when I got out of my car is a clean cut white guy. Next thing is a polo.......WITH AN EMBROIDED BADGE. Then, because of the way I exited, she would have seen a spare mag and handcuff case...with SHINY handcuffs. Next would be a shiny badge which is sitting right next to the holstered gun. So some guy in tan pants with a tucked in polo w/badge, mag holder/handcuffs, and holstered gun is cause for concern. Seriously, some people are so far gone there is no hope for this country. I honestly believe a vast majority of our population are functionally retarded.....and I'm not making a joke when I say that. EDIT: For clarity and to beat the snide cop hater remarks....this woman had no clue I was LE. |

The liberal media has accomplished thier goal into making the average person afraid of anyone with guns.

First two posts are dead on.
This was the end game of the MSM. Feed the people misinformation to make them petrified of guns. Hell, pretty soon they'll be making people afraid of free speech and "religion". |

Your guns hurt her feelings and invaded her safe space. You should be ashamed.
|
|
Just imagine if you didn't have a badge and what might have happened.......

If I'm not mistaken, the mad moms against guns recently included an addition to their general orders, which
Basically says "call 911 every time you see a gun ". She was doing her part for the cause. |

Wait till you are sitting in a marked unit in uniform and some lady comes up to you and asks if you could call the police for them.

You could have handled this dangerous incident and scored some O/T.
You need to learn to embrace opportunity! |

Shame. You would think someone from Florida would be more familiar with guns.
|

If I were the shop owner: pretend to dial 911, we need the police immediately. There's a crazy woman in my store and I'm afraid she is going to shoot up the place. I think she's a terrorist.

You should have just put her out of her misery. Isn't that what you have the gun for?

Imagine that same scenario but with a non cop and a store owner who is also a sheep. This is what we're up against The whole front of the store is large pane windows.

Trust me, the woman was retarded. |

Arent you a panhandle guy as well - somewhere in the fwb/ville/crest area?
That's straight up retarded for someone around these parts. Like already said, shoulda pistol whipped the bitch. Told her to get back above the Mason Dixon. |

Trust me, the woman was retarded. Oh I believe you. My point was you are a cop, and the store owner knew you. At some other place the store owner may very well have called the cops. Hopefully at that point the 911 operator would quickly realize the caller was an idiot after asking the obvious questions. But they would still have to send a unit out, wouldn't they? |

Good on her, I would have called based on your macro aggressions alone. How dare you say hello to a stranger and make eye contact. The gun is just icing on the cake.
|

Moderate fear of the PO-lice is healthy.
And, no disrespect, but embroidered badges are low class. You say you can't pin a badge to a polo shirt? Then how about a real uniform shirt. Just joshin'!! Lady was a tool. You could have had a little fun with her though, you could have ran back out the store, chased her down, and asked her where the "man with a gun" was as you got the dispatch. |

But since January 1 of this year and open carry has now become legal in Texas I am seeing all sorts of legal signage at places of business that forbid it. So it's just not because you are a cop. It's everywhere apparently. |

A great learning opportunity.
They have been taught gun owners are mean, aggressive, intolerant, only care about rights that personally effect them, and they are looking forward to a war. That's kind of the opposite of a patriot. When these people find out gun owners are friends and neighbors who are actually not the self centered bastards we are painted to be, their opinion changes a little. I've seen it. Those changes add up. |

Trust me, she knew Goddamn well you weren't a threat, she was simply trying to make a point for the "cause."
See, if enough people phone in false 911 reports because they see someone with a gun, then the police will get mad about people with guns and...uh...change the law so that people can't have guns. That's the way they think. Keep in mind that these are the same kind of people who would lie down in busy intersections and block traffic back when Bush was President in order to "stop the war." Because drivers will get tired of people lying down in intersections and, you know...stop the war. The empty headed bitch went straight to TwitFace and proudly crowed that she, "Reported a man with a gun." |

This thread has suddenly made me realize that one day in the near future that big city cops will have to conceal their duty weapon so as not to intimidate the population.
