A buddy of mine usually OC's just about everywhere that he goes. He's not a show off or a trouble maker however he likes to have his firearm on him and there should be nothing wrong with this since it's legal.
I think he made a mistake but it shouldn't have escalated the way in which it did. He arrived at work where he drives a truck, while on the job he leave's his firearm in his vehicle which is parked. When he arrived at work he exited his vehicle with his gun on his side where another employee noticed it and immediately started calling him a punk bitch and a ***** for carrying a gun. He went on to say that in LA if they saw him in his neighborhood with a gun on they would take it from him and shove it up his you know what. I've seen the guy in question before and he's your typical gangster looking type from the south with a big mouth. My friend said that he then took his jacket off and began walking towards him in a threatening way telling him he would shove it up his rear. Being very un-confrontational and honestly afraid of the guy, my buddy said that he walked to the other side of his car, got in and locked the door. The guy talked some more crap and then got into his work truck. My buddy is a smaller guy and is pretty shook up over this.
I think he should have taken his gun off in the vehicle and secured it before he ever got out. Even so this should have NEVER happened. This gangster guy obviously plays by his own set of rules. If it had of been me when the guy took his jacket off and started coming at me in a threatening manor I would have stepped back and placed my hand on my gun but not remove it from the holster unless he proceeded to assault me. If it would have escalated to physical contact then I would have acted.
Any thought on this are welcome.
