Busted once. While still on the job.
Took my family, wife and 2 kids, to the Bronx Zoo in NYC. Windy day, and my 37 was in a belt rig at about 4:30.
Uniformed Cop walked up to me and in a very converstional tone of voice asked me if I had a minute to speak to him, and would I mind walking over to the side of the nearest building, with my hands in plain sight. I did so, and the conversation went something like this,
Cop. The wind blew your jacket, and I spotted what looks like a gun. Are you carrying a gun, and if so do you have a permit for it?
Me: Yes, I'm on the Job and I am carrying. May I reach into my pocket to get out my creds?
Cop: Sure, but move very slowly and keep your back to me.
Me: Handed him shield and ID
Cop: Have a great day
Me: How did you manage to spot it
Cop: Been on the Job for 18 years.
Me: Nuff said. Be safe Brother,
I then walked off with the family.
In my opinion, this Officer is a Credit to NYPD. Did his job in a safe and non-threatening manner. Heck of an observer as well.
Seasoned Cops handle things differently than newbies. They should all learn from him or guys like him.
