I would bet he was an LEO, whether off-duty or plainclothes.

I've never carried cuffs outside of work... they just stay in my car. I'm not ballsy enough to try and use them outside of work, no matter what. They stay in my car.
Plus, I don't want someone saying I was pretending to be a cop, etc. When I OC I try to wear decent clothes and shave... it tends to give the same impression. |

You should just get one of those ID holders the cops use and put your CCW permit in it and hang it around your neck. They'll think the ID is something official. (Only do this if OC is legal in your area.)
 The obvious compromise is that while helping to draw less suspicion from joe public, it might get a  from LE. |

While I don't OC much, I don't carry cuffs while doing it.

I'd probably get funny looks with fur-lined handcuffs, I should probably leave the gag ball at home too?

I heard they make CCW badges to wear on your belt too. That would be cool.

If you have a open carried gun, handcuffs on your belt, and a ID holder with your license in it around your neck you may as well complete the whole picture and get the CCW badge too. |

If he decides to start banging his head into a brick wall or jump off a freeway overpass (Yeah, I actually responded to one of these) while cuffed it is your responsibility to stop it. Will a squad car take 5 minutes or an hour to get there? |

I OC here in San Diego.
I think a set of cuffs would really fuck myself during a 12031 check. |
