CCWing on our walk

Clean isn't up to the full walk since her last heart procedure and return to the emergency room after her leg sprung a leak at the site of the catherization. So we walked a short walk and passed a city LEO doing a radar trap behind a pile of brush next to the road waiting for a city crew to haul it away.
I dropped off Clean and continued on and had to come back by the Officer still at his task. As I got near, he gets out of his car and I think oh :cuss: I'm packing heat and now this.
But, I could not resist the opportunity, I asked him if I was walking too fast. He sorta blinked a few times and tried to get on with what he wanted to say. Then, I told him I had a loaded gun and a permit. This time he did not blink, just said ok good.
Then he went on to tell me about his neighborhood patrol duties, etc, making a favorable police presence to the populous, etc.
Turns out Clean had snuck back out while I was gone and took him a bottle of cold water.

Anyway, the incident makes me wounder if this episode isn't normal instead of like all the reports of CCWer's being accosted by the police.

As a side note, I got let off with a warning every time.

Both times, they bade me slow down and take care, and sent me on my merry way.

I hate to say it but I do believe it depends on what you look like and why they approached you. How YOU handle the first contact sets the tone most of the time in my opinion.

:win: BINGO. I'd bet that this is what happens 98% of the time at least. There would be a LOT more cases of CCW/police issues otherwise.
