Not my first time carrying but my first big test. Was in Columbus Ohio, downtown on the freeway and ran out of gas. pulled over, got the gas can out and set it by the road, tossed a blanket over some of my stuff in the car. I couldn't leave my 45 in the car unattended so last thing before starting the walk for gas bent into the driver compartment and retrieved the gun and stuffed it into my waistband and turned around to find myself face to face with a LEO, hadn't noticed him slide in behind me.
He was a real nice guy. I rode in his front seat down to the gas station and back C&L all the way, very nervous, no cwp or anything. Of course I didn't tell him for fear of being locked up.
I sat next to that LEO fully armed and you know what? The officer was safe for some strange reason, despite what the media and some LEO's say.
