I was at a Redbox waiting in line, and a guy walks by me from the left and looks at my mags. He and his family look like they came from a baseball game. Didn't think anything of it at the time. They pull out, but I didn't watch them leave.
After the slow people in front of me are done, I check out a movie and turn around and the same guy in the van is still there. But he is slowly passing by my car checking out my window and bumper stickers. NRA/GADSDEN/MOLON LABE and then sees that I am looking at him looking at my car. And he says to me " Officer do you know where..." and he pauses. I let him know I was not a cop, and he said he saw my mags and gun ( G21 Gen4 ) and just wanted to check. He said "so, you're just carrying?" I said yep, just carrying, and he drove off.
Wonder if he was a cop, or maybe you are a fellow INGOer?
If he was a cop, I do give him rep for being respectful and very nice about it. I should have asked him if he was a cop.
But I do think it is annoying everyone assumes anyone with a Glock and a duty holster is a cop. Had another person just last week with her granddaughter ask if I was a cop, and when I said no, she said " oh...ok"
That's a pretty dangerous way to think.
Maybe I should use my Black Widow holster more. I just prefer the Serpa Level III because we were out at that new Italian restaurant in Atlanta about 30 minutes prior, and I didn't want to scrape the slide on any of the furniture.
And when I say being tested, I got the vibe he was testing if I was impersonating an officer like that evil cop in Noblesville. If I wanted to impersonate a cop, I wouldn't be driving a Nissan, wearing a popeye hat, and wearing leather farm boots LOL, and I would probably have a nifty little badge and maybe some sunglasses.
