Back when I did the patrol thing, that was an odd deal as we were all over the city but we were in a marked car. I often stopped at restaurants where we had posted guards (I doubled as a standing guard supervisor) so going armed was not an issue.

I once went into an IHOP in Richardson and had disarmed, the local PD were there and jumped my stuff about leaving the weapon in the vehicle and what a target my empty holster indicated. They insisted that I was to wear the weapon in when I stopped there. It was Richardson PD policy irrespective of laws to the contrary. It became a very popular place among security guards. they also

There was also a 7-11 was in the middle of a lot of my stops and I used to stop there for coffee, if the PD was in there, they never gave me a second glance.

Just some reminiscinces(sp?) from back in the day.
