I was in the ACE hardware store in Union KY today while ocing just looking around, no problems. then I proceeded to the counter in the back of the store to get a key cut for my truck and while waiting on the man who was helping me a lady walked up to the counter beside me and I saw her out of the corner of my eye staring mouth wide open at my Ruger at my side I thought nothing of it until I heard her say to the man helping her 'That man has a gun' she said it several times in a hushed tone. The man said something back to her which I did not understand the whole time she was just staring me down looking scared to death. The man helping her said something else which I also did not hear and then she said 'I dont feel safe until that man leaves this store' I thought great..here we go its the first week I have oc'ed so I was slightly nervous..the man helping her called the manager on the radio and I almost said something to the woman but I thought it might make matters worse so I kept quiet. One manager came out of the back of the store watching me as he walked past I then went to the front counter to check out and the general manager and another employee were there watching me and kept glancing down at my waist but said nothing they stayed there until I walked out of the store.
I wanted to explain to the lady that I was legally carrying the handgun and that I was doing nothing wrong. I know that when I open carry in the future something like that will most probably happen again. Did I do right by not saying anything? I would just like some opinions about how to handle a situation like the one I had today
