I have a few questions for lrahm
1. Was the OP doing something illegal or against policy?
2. Did you have the right to ask for his DL?
3. Was any part of the OP story exaggerated or untrue?
Rookie, I am not going to "air" this out on this thread.

The cop was there to investigate "a man with a gun". He has the right to ask for an ID. Any court in the states would say that's enough probable cause. To stand there and not answer or refuse to produce a license and/or ID is enough to detain until such information is obtained. He was not on a "fishing trip".
Just saw this, you could have said you already answered one question. LTCH is identification. Refusing to give DL is not probable cause.

LTCH is identification.
Thanks for pointing that post out again, Rookie.
At the time I almost pointed out that "the cop" didn't have a "right" to do anything but I thought that he was just an average person who's never even thought about the enormity of that phrase so there was no reason to nitpick.
But now that I know he's "the cop"...
YOU (lrahm) have no RIGHT to do anything as an agent of the state.
You only have AUTHORITY. That AUTHORITY was granted to you by THE PEOPLE who are the ONLY ONES who have RIGHTS. We can revoke thyat AUTHORITY at any time by legislation to restrict your AUTHORITY or by having you removed for cause from that position of AUTHORITY.
Please post a link or give a reference to the source of your AUTHORITY to demand a DL when no crime was being committed only a private company's "rule".
The MWAG call WAS enough PC to ask to see a LTCH. After that had been done then all questioning related to the gun must stop. The only thing left at that point was to ask the OP to leave. Once he has your job is done. No more interaction is required or justified.
Thread jack!
Could I use my LTCH to buy alcohol, tobacco or anything else you need to present an ID?
/thread jack.
As someone else already stated, I'm also tired of you always being right.
Alright Mr. Smarty pants. An LTCH is all the identification you need to confirm whether the person is legally carrying a handgun. Better?
Ok first let me start off by saying how awesome I am, and Everyone in this thread should rep me for my undeniably amazing detective skills.Im gonna go ahead and call it.
It would venture to say that the security guard is a gun owner, and it wouldn't be a huge stretch to say he knows about INGO, and may not be a member......at least not until he saw this thread. duh duh duh..... folks I give you WillyUSMC and his buddy Irahm. Security guards at St. Mary's.
Just a wild guess here.....I could be way off. Then again it wouldn't be the first time something like this had happened.

Second, im way to tired to catch up in this thread tonight but I noticed something I thought was worth mentioning. Titanium Frost, might I suggest editing your post(s) where you used the individuals name (and those who quoted it to do the same). Yes we know who he is now, but for futures sake and out of respect for that members privacy I believe it would be the right thing to do.
Nobody needs to know who he is for him to share his side of the story, in fact it will probably make him less willing to do so.
Just my
wordCheck his profile, he uses his full name there. Hell, even his user id is his real name. But if he asks I will remove it from my post.
