I was at Wallmart today. I went in through the vehicle maintainance side as I often do to avoid the big crown up front.
There was a nice, clean cut young man standing there wearing a pullover shirt and Kaki cargo shorts, and a half dozen LEO types. One LEO had the contents of what had been the young man's desert camo mollie pack scattered over a picnic table.
It was the normal prepper stuff.
He was protesting the violation of searching his private property. They were explaining the need for security and their right to search for weapons and explosives in suspisious situations.
I remember the exact words;
Young man, "What's suspiscious about it?"
LEO, "No one wears a backpack in Wallmart!"
Fortunately this young man had sense enough to shut up and avoid a trip to a rural KY jail. He apparently got off with a warning to leave his pack in the car next trip.
I would just about guarentee that if there had been a fixed blade knife in that pack he would have gone to jail. Not that I have anything against fixed blade knivers, or E-packs for that matter.
Sometimes you just don't needf any excess attention.
