OK, this may be long wined but here goes..
I needed to go to Walmart Friday night and pick up some food, so I put my Ruger SR40C in my Paddle holster and went in. I have done this many times and no one has given me a second look. I wlaked through many isles with a cart, and finally went to check out. As I was checking out, a Africian-American asked if I was an LEO. Now I was wearing jeans, and a Ky Basketball T-shirt. I told him no, and continued placing items on the counter to be scanned. He then asked why I was carrying a gun. I just told him because I can, and continued getting my items.
This is where it gets weird... He started yelling.."This is why we blacks are getting shot all the time because of people like you!" "This is why a young boy was shot because a white man had to have a gun!"
The counter person asked him to leave as he was disturbing other people. He said I don't care! This is just plain wrong.
I continued to place my items in the cart, and said Good day to him and left the store. He followed me outside still yelling at me! I pictured this in my mind hoping it wasn't going to be another Zimmerman vs Martin case. I went back to my truck, unloaded my items, and started to leave when he and 3 others started calling me honkey, white trash, and other vulgar words. I never "felt" threatened, so I left, but did call the police and told them the situation as I left. They told me that they would send a car to check it out.
I didn't have a recorder on me at that time, because it was late, and I had left it on my dresser at home charging. Guess I will get another one for times like this.
So, has anyone else has similar experiences?
