Story about my second time having to inform LEOs about my CCW.
On my way to work some days ago, I stopped by a gas station store to get a last minute item before clocking in. On the way out I see that my truck is blocked by a car with the driver still inside. I approach the vehicle, wave at the driver and point at my truck showing him that I want to get out...the guy just shrugs his shoulder as if saying "So what?". Next I try the verbal way and politely ask the gentleman to move his vehicle because I do have to work.
The guy just went off cussing and telling me to go away using selected choice words of the "F" kind with a New Jersey/NY accent. I decided that it was not worth it, apologized to the guy and retreated towards the driver's door but facing the imbecile. I guess the guy thought that my backing up was indication of weakness because next thing I know he is getting out of his car and went on even louder with his cussing.
At this time I hear a booming voice saying "What's the problem here?" and I see 2 LEO coming out from the store. The Joesey guy goes on saying all kinds of Bravo Sierra about me harrasing him and what nots. One of the oficers approach the guy while the other comes towards me and I go into the "Officer, I must inform you that I have a CCW and I am carrying my weapon. My ID is in my front vest pocket." The officer nods in agreement tells me not to worry.
I glance over Joesy Guy and his eyes are as big as frisbees as he stares at me and he seemed to suddenly lost his weekend tan because he was pale as a ghost. I can't help but smile thinking "This idiot just realized he was picking a fight with an armed man.".
Next thing he knows he is getting a butt chewing from the other officer for not moving his car and becoming a niussance. When he tries to protest the Officer tells him that they saw the whole thing from inside the store and I did nothing wrong so he better park right or leave the area and now.
Joesey mumbles sometying about his wife being inside but he gets back in his car and parks it right. I deeply thanked both officers because I do not want to know what would have happened if the Idiot wanted to escalate the issue more.
PS: And I don't mean any offense to New Jersay Natives that populate our board, but you guys gotta stop sending us them idiots! :rofl:
