The girl who was at the station FREAKED when she saw my (empty) Ernie Hill Speed Leather rig! She asked me not to hurt her, and she'd give me all the money she had.
I explained that I had been shooting, and needed to get home in a hurry, and forgot to take off my holster, and even showed her it was emply, and offered to take it off while she got my change. Well, she had hit the panic button, and a cop pulled in and got out of the car while I was taking off my belt, and he pulled his gun on me. I explained that I had been shooting, and was in a hurry to get home, and that my pistols were locked up in my trunk, and that I was unarmed. After a quick look at what was going on, he told me I'd best not do that again (wear a fancy, metal cored belt with accessories?)
All in all, it was not a pleasant experience...

Interesting story. Could you give us some more details as to location? State? Rural/Urban.
I just open carried through AZ, NM, TX, OK, MO, IA, and WI, and did not have a problem.
