I had my very first law enforcement stop by two of Fenton's finest. I passed both squad cars while they were chatting with each other in a parking lot. I was open carrying while riding my motorcycle. About a mile down the road, they caught up to me and pulled me over in the Burger King parking lot. They stepped over to me and the one asked if I knew why I was being pulled over? I had a good notion, but I said that I didn't. He replied, that it was about the open carrying of my gun, on the bike. That led into a 15 min. discussion of my MSP 86 update which they glanced at. They said to me that they had never seen such a display before. I told them that I had been doing this for a year and that I was the one that open carried into the high school to vote, about a month ago. The one officer said that he was glad to see me carrying and that he'd like to see more folks doing it. He was for open carry, and that they would seek a clarification about the motorcycle being a motor vehicle and thus that makes me conceal carrying, even though it's so visible. They apologized twice for taking up my time. I said that it was ok, as I got to meet them and was able to pass info that they needed to know for their job. It was a good night! Ps. They ran my plate before I was stopped, as one of the officers new my last name. They asked to see my drivers lic. and nothing more.
