For those of you who do openly carry your firearm, have you had a "concerned citizen" call the police on you? What happened? Did you continue to openly carry after that?

For those of you who do openly carry your firearm, have you had a "concerned citizen" call the police on you? What happened? Did you continue to openly carry after that?

Anna Southerington

Here's Anna's contact with law enforcement.... 

Yes. The officer approached me, identified himself, and asked for ID. I cheerfully complied. He then told me a citizen had called it in and expressed concern. I thanked him for doing his due diligence, and asked if he was satisfied the law was being followed, and that I didn’t represent a threat to the public.

“Well, ma’am, can I ask you, out of curiosity, why you don’t carry concealed? I mean, you have a CCL…”

“Honestly, officer…” I replied as I held out my arms. I was wearing shorts and a tank top. “…where would I conceal it in THIS getup? I don’t even have real pockets!” And he laughed and agreed that it wasn’t possible, and “thank you for your cooperation.”
