So, I decided to do some shopping before I went home. I needed a 12V power socket, to make swapping my 2m VHF transceiver between my car / home base a little easier. I also needed a quart of oil for my car. I've got a slight leak from the drain plug, because it doesn't have a proper crush washer, and I keep forgetting to buy one
Well, I walked inside, 1911A1 on my hip in the SERPA, magazines by my side in my Fobus mag carrier. No greeter, looked to the right, he was hanging out with the store associates who help with the automatic checkouts. I nodded to him, he nodded back.
Anndd I went about my business.
While I was looking at wiring accessories, trying to decide if I needed anything else, I saw the greeter staring at me from the end of the aisle.
There was an awkward silence for a moment.
"...Is that a real gun?" - Greeter
"Yes it is." - Me
"Oh...okay." - G
"Open carry is legal in the State of Michigan..." - M
"Yeah, okay. You just don't see it often. *chuckle*" - G
"I don't see why it isn't more popular. It's a very comfortable method of carry." - M
"...Well, have a good evening." - G
"You too." - M
Well, I got my stuff together. Didn't think anything about it.
Walk up to the automatic checkouts. They were definitely talking about me, because I heard "Shh shh, there he is.". Again, more awkward silence as about 5 meijers associates bore a hole in my side with their laser eyebeams.
Paid for my items, walked outside, threw the stuff in my car, anndd I grabbed the quart of oil out. Also grabbed a rag, and popped by hood. I started to check my oil, when I saw a Portage Police cruiser haul ass into the parking lot.
He flies right past me, parks near the entrance, gets out of his cruiser, and speed-walks inside.
I continued checking my oil, and left.
So I guess my question is:
Do you think he was there on business related to me?
