Nice job! What a knucklehead.

Hi, guys
I am just glad ChrisG made the catch. And not someone with the wrong mind set. I hope "the guy" wasn't a CCW holder, because CCW holders have to represent. What one CCW holder does effects all firearms owners. Kudos to ChrisG. Thank you, ChrisG, and be safe. |

That's a great story. I bet you changed that guys whole approach from now on.

Good Catch ChrisG. I think that's someone that probably shouldn't be carrying a gun and I probably would have done something different than you.
Openly displaying his weapon, while accidental, is not that big of a deal and I would have said something to him. But you combine that with ordering the beer while carrying and that is a huge problem. I would have called the police on the guy, because people that decide to drink when they are armed shouldn't be allowed to carry. We don't need people like this to ruin it for the rest of us.

Hi, Spicy McHaggis
Can you confirm the older gentleman was a civilian CCW holder? Or could ChrisG? It's got me wondering. I wasn't there, but it sounds like somebody off duty. People on the job have a habit of taking liquid refreshment while off the clock, although it is not wise to do so. And somebody that has been on for a while, working a desk might be a little careless. Or the person a civilian, heaven forbid was carrying illegally. Anyhow, be safe. |

I could not confirm that he held a valid CCW but based on my gut (how he was dressed, establishment we were in) my guess is that he was legal. My gut also told me he was not active LEO either. Retired maybe, but not active. The motive behind what I did was to call him on the fact that he was being an idiot, which is why I brought up the beverage of his choice prior to bringing up his exposed handgun. My point was taken as he did not touch his beer while I was there. I have no idea what he did after I left.
In response to Spicy's comment, had I witnessed him drinking multiple beverages or being intoxicated I definitely would have notified the local PD.

Most current LEO's would have a badge next to the gun on the belt. Retires don't, because they don't get one issued.
Due to the fact he was carrying a wheel gun, I would guess retired LEO.

Simple rule, you don't drink and carry... ever. Civilian CCW - Shouldn't be drinking while carrying. Retired LEO - Could probably care less Active LEO - I would think his department would have regulations about about drinking and carrying. Most do. Also, most LEOs I know, retired and active, would tell the person that pointed this out that they were a LEO so as not to "frighten" anyone or cause a disturbance.

The funny, uneducated post about me being a girl was removed. So I'm removing my comment to unsub. If I ever go to a gun show again I will look him and introduce myself to him. That should fix the problem.
