Carrying an open carry gun into an IRS office while black and ...wait for it

Being a cop on a break but otherwise on duty in full uniform.

This is too much (spoiler: it has a happy ending).

Security guard pleads not guilty after pulling gun on Lucas County Sheriff's deputy

Quote:

That deputy is still trying to wrap his head around a potentially fatal situation that arose out of what should have been a simple encounter. The deputy came to 4 Seagate to ask a question at the IRS office. A step that nearly cost him his life. As Lucas County Sheriff's deputy Alan Gaston enters the IRS office, he's in full uniform with his badge with his firearm visible. He was on duty May 31st but says he stopped at the office for a phone number to ask about a letter he got from the IRS. Deputy Gaston says the guard told him he needed to put his gun in his car. Gaston said he couldn't do that. The conversation ends with a gun pointed at the deputy's back. Gaston vividly remembers "that" moment. "Basically preparing myself to be shot at that moment. Bracing for a shot in my back," said Gaston. The whole thing caught on security cameras, as the guard follows deputy Gaston to the elevator with the gun out and it appears his finger very close to the trigger. The guard then tries to take Gaston into custody, once again with the gun drawn....

:eye-poppi

Cop-wannabe security guy thinks the officer needs to be arrested? The officer left right away after saying he was not allowed to leave his gun in the car. Cop-wannbe even tries to stop the elevator the real cop was leaving on.

And someone called the cops without mentioning the 'guy with a gun' was a cop in uniform no less.
