Gun in back pocket...

[Pookie44]

There's this guy in my apartment complex that carries a gun (9mm.) in his back pocket. It's not like he just walks around the building with the gun, he drives off like that as well. I thought hmm mabey a cop, but it seems like a cop would have it concealed. Could he be in the military? I'm just curious to know why? and how?

If you see a person walking around with a gun visibly protruding from their pocket, why don't you call the police and let them figure it out? How would any of us know why someone was walking around with a gun in their pocket via the internet?

Thanks for the reply. Sorry mabey I came across wrong. I was trying to figure out if police officers and military personel are allowed to carry in that manner.

Why don't you ask him? I am sure he would be more that happy to answer your questions, regarding his open carry.

Military don't carry guns off base and out of uniform. A police officer COULD carry in the manner you describe, but it would be REALLY stupid to do so.

My long distance guess is that he's just your average armed idiot. ;)

Thanks for the reply and the link I was under the impression MI you can only carry with a CCW (ooops). Trust me I thought about asking him, but I didn't want to come across as being the nosey neighbor.

That's okay, just tell us when the day comes that you find him walking with a limp. ;)

However (my state's law is this way) as soon as he gets in the car (if he doesn't remove it from his pocket) it becomes concealed and therefore a crime if he doesn't have a CCW.

Call the police. We cant help you with this here.

Thanks for the the advice fellas. I'll go down to the MPD and ask those fine young officers to assist with my dilemma:D

Instead of possibly looking foolish to your local P.D. go to the web sight that was provided and do some research for yourself and you will most likely answer your own question.

Thank you for the advice. From what I can understand by the laws of MI he's not really doing anything wrong. I seen a gun and got all excited that's all.;) I thank you all for the help. I appreciate it.

I could be mistaken, but I doubt your neighbor is up to no good. He is either a show off and 2nd amendment advocate or a LEO or some sort. Being that he is a neighbor, I would approach him next time you see him (don't go out of your way) and ask him. You can make it sound as if you are interested about the open carry and any other questions you might have. I bet he will be very receptive of your questions. If you do so, please keep us posted...and good luck.

Thanks for the advice bro. Your right sometimes minding your p's & q's is not always the best thing to do. So I've hatched a plan (and no I'm not a stalker). The mail compartments are right across from my door, so when he's getting his mail I'll act like I'm leaving I'll strike up the conversation and ask why he carries the gun. Hopefully he's a police officer:p. I'll keep you posted.
