So I'm standing on my front porch drinking my coffee and having my morning smoke. (I'm down down to six a day by the way!) A cop is driving down the street and I give him a wave. When he hits the corner he turns around and parks in front of my house. He gets out of his car and asks "Is everything ok?" I give him kind of a funny look and say "Umm yeah, was just saying hello!" He smiles and says "Oh, cool. We don't really get a lot of that... Hey, any chance I could bum a smoke off ya?"
By this time he had walked onto my front porch. I say "Sure, want a cup of coffee?" and he says "Hell yeah, all I have had so far is crappy cop coffee!" I make a joke about how he sounds like a episode of law and order. So I go in the house and grab him a cup and were just standing on the front porch chatting abouht the neighborhood.
About this time I remember that I'm armed so I just casually say "Oh, just so you know I'm liscened to carry and I am armed at the moment" I realize I don't have to tell him and that on my own property I don't have to be liscensed but figured it was a good idea anyway. Funny enough he says 'Good, does your wife carry as well?" I say "Yes sir" He says "Very good , we do everything we can but it's always nice to see people that take their saftey into their own hands" He asks me what I carry and tell him a Glock 19. We talk a bit about how we both love the glock 19 and that is his off duty CCW.
He then asks me how I carry it and what I carry it in. I tell him I carry at about 3:30 in a Pure Kustoms Black Ops Pro that I had just got yesterday and will switch between OWB and IWB depending on what I'm wearing. I lift my shirt up so he can see it. He says "Thats pretty nice! I wouldn't have made you unless you told me. It comfortable?" I tell him that it is.
About this time a second cop is driving past. He hits the corner, turns around, gets out and starts walking towards us. He asks the first cop if everythings ok and he says "Yeah, were just chillin. Hey, check out this holster!" So cop #2 walks up and starts eyeing the coffee me and cop #1 are drinking so I run inside and make him cup. When I come back out cop #2 asks if I would mind taking my holster off so that he could get a better look at it. For like 10 mins both these guys are DROOLING over it. "Man! Thats nice!!" "Yeah, looks like you can take the straps off and wear it OWB to!" "Check out the stiching!" "That leather is HARD!" Cop #2 asks me to put it back on, and then bend over and twist and move aorund so he can see how wellit conceals. He says "Man, thats great. I've got to have one!"
Rocky sent some of his cards with my holster so I gave them both one. They both give me their card and suggest that we go shooting sometime. They thank me for the coffee shake my hand and and go on their way.
Thats the first expierence I have ever had with police while armed and must say it went pretty darn well. I hope all the cops in my city are like that. I also have a feeling Rocky is going to be getting a few orders from my local PD haha.
