Drove by the door and saw a sign saying "Concealed Weapons Prohibited, as defined by KRS 237.110, Violators will be prosecuted." I was prepared to make a trip back to the car when I parked and walked in with my OC. Interestingly enough, not a word was said even though the place was crawling with LEOs. The only people who had anything to say about it asked me why, and they were friends of my brother. I told them that I am a law-abiding citizen and I refuse to be a victim, and also that I would protect them aswell if something happened. One idiot thought it would be a good idea to reach towards my holster, he almost got his wrist broken. I explained to him that it was a very VERY bad idea to do that and that he would do good to remember that it is a very good way to get hurt, no matter what your true intentions are. It only gets touched if it's getting used.
Flash forward to the drive home, I got pulled over by Louisville Metro PD driving a Dodge minivan. He asked for my license, I handed it to him, then he asked for the insurance card. I then informed him that there was a weapon in the glovebox. I'm not sure what the "proper" procedure is, but I felt that it was a good idea to allow the officer to remove the weapon from the car, with the understanding that I was to get it back. Immediately asked me if I had a CCDW permit, I said no.Nothingelse wassaid about thepistol. They ran my brother and I for warrants, asked him what he was doing hanging out with someone who is 21 (he's 17) and asked us if we had any weed, cocaine, or other weapons in the car. He then told us to slow down and have a good night. 10 minutes tops, very polite officers.
It was nice to have a night out and not recieve hassle from LEOs about OC and carrying in general.
