Let me preface by saying I typically OC, or partially OC with a shirt and jeans. It seems that every time I am out and about somebody has to ask me if I am a cop. The three most recent instances:
1. I was at Penn Station in Bloomington, IN. I ordered my food, the kid asked me if I was a police officer. I politely said "no." He replies "well, police officers get free drinks, ya know." I replied "I don't impersonate police officers for free drinks." Him: "oh yeah, that's probably a good idea."
I chalked that up to being near liberal campus central...
2. Harbor Freight in Indy doing so browsing... Guy asks me what I'm carrying. I reply "XDm." He then asks me "Does anybody ever hassle you about open carrying?" I reply "No, why?" He references the Texas OC thingy that has been going on. I say "they probably need to be more tactful"...then he asks..."you in law enforcement?"
3. At the grocery store today with the wife. All done, groceries in the trunk. I take the cart to the cart corral about 50' away from where I parked. (I just can't leave my cart in the middle of the parking lot). There was a kid gathering up the carts to take them inside. I push my cart up and he takes it.....then as I am walking away...."Excuse me, sir"...."Yes"...."Are you a police officer?" I kinda did one of those laugh under your breath and responded "No."
What the eff? Does everybody else get this too?
