Open carry encounter

[VUPDblue]

Yes I am dreadfully embarrassed. Please excuse me while I go curl into the fetal position and rock myself to sleep.

The thing that is impossible to convey in an internet posting is inflection. The person who confronted me was neither respectful or friendly. I have zero responsibility or interest in being polite as a peach when I get approached in that manner. Given the chance to repeat the encounter there isn't anything I am dying to change about it. I have no duty to educate or a duty to smother you with sweetness when you approach me with an attitude.

I expect to be smothered with sweetness.

I'll make an exception for you

I was thinking the same thing.

This makes me happy.

This is me every night.

It was a pretty simple question. Do you not have to "prove" anything to me either?

And there's the attitude! LMAO! Are you under cover? Are you embarrassed by it? Or are you confirming my suspicions, that VUPD is the Vincennes University Police Department?

Dude? Really? A simple "just curious" would have been a better approach. Coming on like a Jackwagon, well . . . . not so much.

Has Nada to do with this discussion. vupd never identified "badged" or anythinged himself as LE to this BEBB (bob evans busy body) I actually think this is a great example of not being the badge heavy superiority complex cop. vupd was just a normal guy doing normal stuff and some moron wanted to pull his chain. Idiots abound, they are at biscuit and gravyville and they are on the interwebs.

The guy that approached VUPDblue is an intermeddling tool.

Someone walking with a gun is NOT a reason to confront someone.
(lets stick with the OP story please, yes I understand the interaction between police and citizens in regard to legal carry)

VUPDblue's Rule #1: Don't be a jerk.
Looks like you threw that one right out the window.

Good Lord Likewise.

Yep! You totally blew this one, Nick! Here's how it should have gone down.

Him: Are you OK to have that?
You: Have what?
Him: That gun on your hip.
You: Look down at hip and deliver a high pitched squeal, followed by "OH MY GOSH! HOW DID THAT GET THERE?" in a high pitched lisp. The wave your arms while running and hopping around in a circle yelling "GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF! "

That would have shown him!

Well handled IMO. Very well.

They won't claim him anymore.

That might have earned him one of those jackets that helps with self hugging and made it easier for him to curl up in the fetal position.

VUPD- which city were you in?

 

[ScouT6a]

You are absolutely correct. VUPD you do not HAVE to prove anything to me or anyone else here but you already HAVE proven something to me.
Hopefully I never get pulled over by you out on the highway. ROFLMAO

Stay clear of Vincennes.

LIGHTBULB!!!

I think ScouT6a was the one that approached VUPD in the Bob Evans. That would explain the unprovoked snarkitude.

I have always found that if you go ahead and pee your pants and then start giggling, people leave you alone.
