I didn't want to remove my gun and leave it in my car, so I started doing the VA tuck and carrying on, business as usual. Either no one noticed or didn't care, never had anyone say anything to me about it.
I got stopped on the sidewalk a couple of times in the city. The LEOs weren't too bad about it, either time. But then, I quoted GOODMAN v. COMMONWEALTH after asking if they had any "reasonable suspicion" for a Terry Stop.

Another time I had a restaurant w/ABC out in the 6000's area of West Broad call 911, the LEOs were fine. BTW -- the restaurant let me stay and finish the meal, once the LEOs said it was legal to OC there.
