Input: Text: so this happened about two years ago. 

i met a girl via tinder and we txted and snaped for about a week before i invited her out to dinner at a nice restaurant downtown. 

now let me give you a tad of back story about myself: i did four years enlisted in the military. nothing crazy, just turned wrenches, then got out and went back to school. i continued to reside in a state where with proper training and certification - a person is legally allowed to carry a concealed firearm within specific boundary of course. while working at a firearms dealer as a sales associate and instructor. my firearm is like my billfold; after 7 years of carrying, it becomes a natural accessory. (i understand that there is a vast majority of viewpoints on this topic, especially on reddit, but i'm just giving you mine). 

so we agree to meet up at the restaurant that i made reservations for. dinner comes, and to be honest - the date wasn't going that well. we didn't have very much in common, she was pretty opinionated about her ideas, where i just prefer to let people have their opinions and try not to sweat the stuff i can't control. also, this girl was a political science major (if that explains anything). so, we get on the topic of the military (you can already feel it coming, cant you..?) low and behold, she takes it upon herself to inform me how wrong certain aspects of our armed forces are. now don't get me wrong, she had some perspectives that i agreed with, but whenever i chimed in there was no understanding. it was: "you're dead wrong, and this is why..."
i should also mention that this is one of few topics where i do get a little defensive. i dedicated some time to the idea of serving my country (whether certain aspects are flawed or not) and when someone condemns me for it, it tends to get to me. sue me.

alright, so here's where it gets good, or bad. we get on the topic of firearm control. i explain my immersive background, and finally she asks: "well are you carrying a gun right now?". (be honest - you knew this was coming)
to which i reply: "idk, are you wearing underwear?" ...she didn't like that very much. right after that, she says: "why would you bring a gun to a restaurant!?" (like we are talking normal conversation volume) and i say: "who said i had a firearm?".
so i talk it down (that took about five minutes) and proceed to get the check. very displeased, she goes to the restroom, we meet at the front, and start to walk out. 

as soon as we get through the door, we are greeted by a convoy of patrol cars lining the street in front of the restaurant. i waive at the police officers but they do that thing where they walk towards me from all directions and say "sir, can you come here for a second" (hand on firearm). 

now a lot of the gentlemen i worked with at that time were sheriff deputies making extra money teaching concealed classes at the range. you talk to them enough, and you realize that in every situation regarding interaction with a police officer, things can go very "not in your best interest" if you decide not to comply. i knew this. i'm stupid. the first officer informs me that there was a complaint of that someone had a firearm in the restaurant and it was making people feel unsafe. he then asks me: "sir, are you carrying a firearm?" my common sense boards a fucking plane to nigeria and i come back with: "i don't believe i am lawfully required to answer that question. am i being detained, or am i free to go?". my date (who was being interrogated by a few police officers about 10ft from me) about shit herself. she finally says: "just let them have it".... fuck. me.
immediately the officers un-strap their holsters and demand that i now put my hands behind my back. common sense finally comes rushing back and i reply: "yes sir, officer. my apologies".

i was handcuffed, firearm removed, put in the back of a patrol car for the better part of 30min until everything finally cleared.
so through conversation with the officers i was able to explain the situation and because of the fact that there were some veterans in the group - we bonded a bit, and i learned that some high school barback heard "why did you bring a gun to a restaurant?" freaked out and called the cops - can't blame 'em. 
 so because my date had left already, and the fact that i had walked to the restaurant since i lived three blocks away, i was given the option the take my (now unloaded) firearm to walk, or receive a ride home from my new friends. whom i actually gave my card to and sold one of them a nice lil 9mm shield a couple moths after.  when they dropped me off the officer rolled down his window and said: wait, don't forget these" as he dumped my ammunition rounds into my hand. life is fucking weird guys.

apologized to my match, got no reply, deleted her info. and moved on with life.
if you made it this far - thanks for reading (thumbs up emoji)
