Well i had my first bad experience open carrying. Here i am minding my own business doing some grocery shopping for a party my friends and i threw this weekend. As we are walking into the store all seemed fine and no one gave us any problems until we went to check out. I was confronted by the store manager, and 2 very disgruntled LEOs. They asked me to walk outside with them which i did. Once we were outside on of the officers got quite annoyed with me and proceeded to tell me it was illegal for me to even have a handgun, at 19, much less carry it and have one in the chamber. So then we had a 45 minute discussion aout the legalities of the issue and once he saw i wasnt some stupid kid trying to be a "gangsta" and that i was half intelligent and respectful, he finally called his Sgt. who informed him that i was perfectly legal in everything i was doing. The Sgt. returned my weapon and then began to apologize for the inconvenience but he said that even though it is legal for me to do it, open carry at my age isnt one of the smartest things to do. Now granted, i was wearing a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt but i dont think i looked particularly threatening.when will people learn that everyone with a gun isnt out to go on a m urderous rampage?
