The use of the word “mused” was intended in its literal sense and not in a disrespectful manner to OC CCW brethren. My parents still live in HB. I visit them at least twice a year. Knowing your local CCW “conditions”, the situation made me ponder my obligations / LEO expectations while traveling through OC.

As hbliam notes, the key word is context. In my encounters at the BLM location, some sheriffs pass through, some sit in their ride to chat, others hop out and B.S. for a bit. Read and be read. Sometimes you connect, sometimes you don’t. The last thing I’m going to do is reach for my wallet so I can pull out my “laminated” (oh crap, a whole new thread to contend with!) rice paper. I’m very conscientious about not coming across as any sort of threat, and am not really interested in verbally affronting anyone with the fact that I carry.
