Most cops in this country see the guy who carries an exposed handgun
when he doesn’t have to as a show-off, especially in a setting where the
overwhelming majority of others don’t carry. Particularly when one of
the citizens is alarmed and makes that clear to the officer, the cop may
want to know why you felt a need to flaunt lethal force in a peaceful
setting. While the act of carrying may be technically legal, a citizen’s
complaint about it can create probable cause for arrest on a charge of
disturbing the peace or disorderly conduct, particularly if you become
argumentative with that officer. At least one state has a statute that
prohibits “Going Armed To The Terror of the Public.”
