the first time i carried in our local walmart here in columbus i was followed as well, and the manager asked me why i was carrying. i kinda laughed and told him the 2nd amendment gives me the right. im also an mp and was wearing my MP hoody and had my badge on me and he still insisted i cc I just covered it up and kept shopping. it doesnt take long to move the jacket to get to it if needed but something about OC just makes me feel better sometimes.
Not a good idea to be mixing your .Mil MP life with your personal life. I know several( now former) Navy Master At Arms that did that in Florida and got in a lot of trouble with their commands and the local Civi Police. Excellent way to ruin a career.
