- alexank> called out that he was Medford PD), I answered it with the
- alexank> gun in plain view. He told me to stay inside and keep my gun
- alexank> handy. After he searched the grounds he said to keep
- alexank> everything locked up and call again if I saw anything else.
- alexank> The officer never made a fuss over the gun, nor did he seem

- What happened to the jeep?
-
- I am sure that if the officer didn't know from the dispatcher that you
- were armed, he would be a little bit on the carefull side. Its the
- unexpected that makes people scared.
