No. What happened was that I was in the checkout line at the supermarket last summer in my hometown in Orange County. I was wearing an almost tight t-shirt that I threw on real quick just to go and was printing.
The lady behind me kept watching me as I was loading groceries onto the belt. When I finished loading the groceries on the belt she asked me where did I work? I looked at her dumbfoundead and said, "in the city." She said, " What precinct? I said, "I don't work in a precinct." She said, "It shows." I was still confused so I said, "What that I work in the city?" She said, "No. Your sidearm."I said. Ok. I waited to get rung up and left.
She thought that I must have been a cop or some federal officer or something. I believe she was too by the lingo she was using.
I hated that. Some think it's funny and cool like a badge of honor. I look at it as sloppiness. It's being piss-poor at your your craft. She made me out. A criminal could make me out too. No one needs to know that I'm carrying but myself and the guy who means me harm.
That must have been horrible, I cant believe how violated you were by road pirates depriving you of your civil liberties and turning that store into Nazi occupied German... man as I was reading that story I just kept having to remind myself you were the one telling it and you infect are still alive after that experience
