Greetings from a former resident of the City (Upper East Side). Always good to hear from an MOS. In Mississippi, you will not catch any flack. You are legal AND you are welcome! Right after Katrina, I performed escorts for NYPD, FDNY, and MTA cops and 36 MTA buses. Made my heart warm to see them! The MTA cops were more than a little surprised to find a cop in Mississippi who actually knew who they were! LOL!
As for VSP...believe me, I understand where you are coming from. However, don't condemn the whole agency for a couple of troopers. You know as well as I do that there are some MOS (mostly white shirts, but a few line Officers as well) who will ticket another cop, especially from out-of-state. It was not all that long ago that it was considered to be a "well known fact" that an out-of-state Officer in NYC would get jammed up for carrying. Now you know and I know that was based on just a few MOS...not all of them. I have been stopped by VSP a few times and was never treated with anything but professional courtesy.
