I was driving into town today with wife and child in tow. I asked my wife if she wanted subway for lunch, she said ok and off we went to subway. As I grab my 2 year old and carry him on my right side ( stupid, I carry on the right side) anyway I walk in to find 4 sheriffs 2 state and 2 city cops eating their lunch! anyway my sons foot had caught my shirt and pulled it up just enough to see a bit of my gun, I promptly pulled it down and gave my son to my wife and went into the bathroom, as luck would have it they all cleared out as I came out of the restroom, I know that I did not have to "disclose" to any of them and im kind of glad. im sure most of them would have been cool about it and not wanting to interrupt their lunch. Im sure there would have been 1 or 2 wanting to make a deal about it. Maybe not, I didnt want to take the chance since I was in a public place with sheeple about! regardless it was an experience with a pucker factor of about 10!

LOL not all cops are out to beat a guy up for carrying.

I know not all are but there are a few out there! not that I was worried about that in particular anyway it was more the making a scene in public.

I guess alot depends on where you live, here I could care less if that happened. But OC is legal here, I guess if you live in a state where OC is illegal that could present a problem if the cops wanted to make it one

OC is legal here.

inadvertent exposure is generally not considered brandishing. Different states have different rules.

Timing and location would add some pucker factor to it near where I live. About a year ago 4 city cops were shot and killed while having coffee in a coffee shop before their shift.

Open carry is legal here too, but after those events I'm sure every officer would be paying a little extra attention to you if they saw your carry weapon.

if OC is legal it is a non event

Heh. The first time I carried after I got my permit was to a roast beef joint. We walked in and there were a bunch of police eating in there. I thought for sure they could all instantly tell I was carrying. Like in your case, everything was fine.

Dam Yoopers always causing trouble--lol glad nothing happened.

Glad things worked out without hassle.

All the LEOs I've talked to here in TX consider CHL holders who carry to be the good guys. I've occasionally had one ask to see my permit but I've never been hassled.
