So, i was thinking of getting a CCW Badge....Just kidding, but my question is regarding carrying off duty.
I am not an LEO but work at Dicks Sporting Goods. The other day, I received a page that there was a "man with a gun" walking toward the Lodge. Now, this could mean many things including a customer coming for a scope mount or bore sight. In this case, it was a normal looking guy beebopping through footwear sporting a Glock 22 on his hip - open carry style - no jacket. He walked around the store as if he owned the place, grabbed some socks and beebopped right through to the cashier. I tailed him right on through to the other side and out the door he went. Turns out he was off-duty LEO. I always thought that if one was an LEO on or off duty that a badge would be present if a gun was being openly carried. Moreover, I would think that if off duty or plain clothes, one would carry their weapon CCW-style. It didn't bother me any, (his beebopping was a bit disturbing), but was unsettling to the sheep....
Are there regs about this?
