Cal44........ that's the problem.....you can't run out yelling........ "I've got a gun...I've got a gun!!"
Question for the Officers present..... how are you trained to respond if you were caught in this situation.... armed and off duty.
Times have changed; but IIRC my Dad (Police Capt)always carried an ID card much like my Pa CC licence/permit in his wallet...... but didn't always carry a badge or a "Creds" case.
LOL
maybe one of those " Concealed Carry badges" would come in handy after all !!!!!!
