Interesting OC sighting in FL

Let me start off by saying I work for brinks so this was a nervous situation for me... As you know in FL we don't have OC... I'm coming out of a stop today with $$ and I see this guy walking toward me. African American, wifebeater, those real long shorts and a revolver in his pants!!! I'm like oh bit Jere we go.... I hurry my ass to the truck and tell my driver and he says he saw it too...

Considering nobody dares OC here cuz u can't and seeing this guy walk toward me was def the highlight of my day lol...

Thought I share

Only three choices...undercover cop with a bad outfit, a citizen with a CCW who cannot read, a thug...

How did you see the recolver? Printing? Actual gun sticking out of his pants?

If you saw the gun, I assume you called 911...they would have been there in 10 or 15 minutes.

Doesn't sound like a good situation to me.

A nerverous guard could have drawn on this oc carrier. If he was a cop you would think he would steer away from the armored car guard

I would steer towards thug,or a CCW holder that doesn't understand the meaning of concealed,Even a plainclothes cop would be carrying in a holster IMHO

It was not printing, it was just holstered in his pants with the handle sticking out... It was at a rest stop which is right next to the FHP station... Even if he was a cop, he'd know better to at least have his badge next to it. If I was a cop, I would have drawn my weapon and tell him to get on the floor... He was no cop... Perhaps a new ccw holder that had no clue what concealed means...

Or a FFL selling firearms. Or maybe he was the owner, LOL?

glad no agressive advance was made on the "thug/UCLEO's" part

definitely odd, nonetheless.

taseal,

Thug (and a stupid or stoned one at that), or a CWFL holder who is even less bright.
