I do not know if he was beyond his duty but I had an encounter with a "Rocky Ripple Police." I was at Kessler and Michigan Road at the Shell Gas Station with a guy who was looking to buy an old side by side 20 gauge shotgun. He was inspecting it and this Rocky Ripple officer briskly walked towards me yelling for us to drop the gun, "DROP THE GUN," he said repeatedly. He had unholstered his weapon, which I believe was a Glock 19 with a bicycle innertube over the grip. We put the inoperable shotgun down in the trunk. He asked us if we knew each other and we told him we were friends. He said "I thought you guys might be doing an Ebay deal." He asked for our IDs and my friend gave him his ID and I told him I was carrying a pistol and he asked me for my ID. I asked if I could give it to him or if he wanted to get it for me. He told me to grab it as long as I didn't grab my gun. He ran our IDs and our LTCHs and it was clean. He tried to explain that we would have done the same thing if we were in his same situation.
I don't know. If I am doing a deal, I would like to meet in public and it was a refreshing situation. What do you guys think?
