I'm new to the site, so forgive the late reply, but I saw this thread, and wanted to respond. I live in Bartlett, and I've been here for three years. I carry concealed, but have no problem at all with those that open carry.
Anyway, I've seen several people here in Bartlett open carrying on various occasions. Not a lot, but I've seen it...and I've even seen it done in front of law enforcement officers. I've never seen any kind of negative response to it.
A couple of years ago, I was stopped by a Bartlett officer, due to one of my headlights being out. I was polite and courteous to the officer, and infomed her I was carrying, and she in turn was polite and courteous. Nothing more was said about my weapon after I informed her of it, and at the conclusion of the brief stop, she gave me a warning, and informed me that if I showed that warning notice to another officer, then it should prevent me from getting a ticket. I fixed the headlight the next day, and that was that.
That was my only time being stopped by Bartlett PD, although I see them all the time.
If I ever have another interaction with Bartlett PD (or any other local PD), then I will post it.....
