I'm asking because my wife wants a 22 to carry.

So how many people actually carry a .22 semi auto for EDC? Or regularly carry?

All day everyday. I even have it on my person in my home because this neighborhood isn't the safest.

Armed security may carry anywhere LEO's carry as long as said armed security officer is on duty and have business in or around the specific building. I may be somewhat mistaken, but this is how it has been explained to me.

He had no other calls. He actually went to taco bell afterwards then sat in Walmart parking lot for an hour

This all happened on highway 41 in Springfield tn just past the dmv at the top of the hill

I should add, this morning i stopped to check on the deer... all to be found were the internals from a field dressing.

Last night around 9:30 pm, my friend hit a deer. He called me up and i went to where he was. We walked along the side of the road looking for the deer to see if it was still alive. After walking about 1/4 mile, we found it. back leg mangled, bleeding from mouth, stumbling when trying to stand, and panting.... we then proceeded to walk back to his truck and wait for the police to arrive. One the tn trooper last name COOPER arrivedand finished his paperwork on the damage to the vehicle we asked the officer if he was going to put the deer down. He said, is it still alive? And does it need to be put down? We said yes it does. He then responded with " its too much paperwork so im not putting it down" i then commented "i have my carry permit and i am armed, do you mind if i put the animal down?" He replied "no, that is against the law" i then requested again for him to put the animal down and again he said no, that it was too much paperwork. We then asked if tomorrow once it was deceased if we could come claim the deer and have it processed. He said no, since its in the ditch, it is against the law to do that. Does any of this make sense to you all?

Sorry everyone, been away. To answer the question "How did he know I was carrying?" Because I open carry 99.9 % of the time.

I knew he was wrong, and I knew that I could call his supervisor. But like I said, I did not want to cause a scene.

Whilst travelling to Springfield TN, I had an interesting talk with a county LEO. He politely asked me "Do you have a round chambered?" I said "yes sir, I do. And also have my carry permit." Then the LEO told me something a little disturbing... Now, whether he was BSing me, I've no clue.... He told me that he could arrest me for having one in the chamber and asked me to return to my vehicle and unload my firearm... Yeah, I did as he asked since he was so nice about it but felt a little angry at this. I did not want to cause a scene, nor did I want confrontation privately between the officer and myself.

I have heard many FTF opinions on this matter and would like to get the opinions of the TGO members!

Thought I'd start a new EDC thread. This is mine! AC Commander(in owb leather) with 2 extra mags(mag pouch), Taurus pt140(ankle) with extra mag(mag pouch on holster), Kershaw assisted opener(left pocket), Spyderco persistence(right pocket), Surefire G2(carry in blachawk light holster), zippo(zippo pouch on belt), Paracord bracelet, black leather wallet, and my keys with 2 paracord keychains. Also carry an Iphone 4 in a belt pouch and wear a paracord lanyard that are not pictured(ordered a dozier neck knife to go on it) And my belt of course which is a 5.11 reversible colors(tan/black)

I've followed this guys videos for some time now. It just simply amazes me how he walks around OCing an AR15 or MP5 clone.... It is interesting to say the least, but I do agree that he is just taunting LEO's for an altercation/attention. I OC everyday because it is the most comfortable to me. I tried IWB concealing and it was just so uncomfortable. Besides, I'm a larger guy that carries a full size XD45... And I cannot really afford "something smaller". If I have confrontations with LEO, thats fine but I do not ask for it. It has become second nature to me to just throw on my serpa paddle and go...

Thank you everyone for clearing this up for me. Much appreciated.
