Exactly! This definitely could go either way these days, but the good ol' "Innocent until proven guilty" has taken a back seat.
I think people are over reacting a lot these days as well. I know being an officer is not an easy job, but there has been several shootings that the stun gun should have been used instead.
Recently, I went to Walmart. I carry an empty sling to "Go Green" (carry my groceries instead of the plastic bags). Many people use these brought grocery bags and you actually get a few cents off.
Mine is a sling (much like many women;s purses).
I also choose a sling as I ride a motorcycle.
I was met at the do and told, I could not bring this in and that I had to leave my "backpack" in a locker. I explained that it is an empty sling for groceries and they are welcome to check it going in and going out.
They continued to call it a backpack. I demanded store manager and went through this BS again and again, WHILE four ladies came in with large purse draped over them like a sling and 2 ladies with home brought shopping bags.
I was finally told I could do it just this once.....I am allowed to use this at any store but Walmart! Guilty until proven innocent.
