Figured this thread could use a bump
Picked up a new 10/22 at the Ace hardware in Oak Harbor yesterday. Great little hole in the wall, not where you'd expect to find guns n ammo but they had plenty of both, feller said every single box had gone up in price $2 overnight. My OC was pointed out by the counter guy to an older feller buying his fist pistol, xd 9 looked like. Said it was totally legal, no permit required, just not common. Guy buying the gun said I was actually the second person he'd seen oc. Crazy busy even in a little spot like that.
Then went all the way down to the little pet shop in Clinton to get my wife a hamster. Was in there a good half hour or so with no comments, although the older hippie looking lady buying some overpriced organic dog food didn't look to amused.

FRI 12APR - Went to payless food to get some groceries and return some dvd rentals. As I was walking out the door, a lady behind the costumer service desk called me over. Me "yes?" Her "do you have a ccw liscense?" Me "Yes, but it doesn't matter." Her "Ok I was just making sure." I would have talked to her about it more, but she was on the phone so I just rolled my eyes and left. I shop here all the time. All the cashiers know me by name and love seeing me everytime I come in. Not sure what that ladys problem was.
SUN 14APR - Went across the ferry to FMJ 911's house. We stopped by Cabelas on our way to go shooting. I had 3 different people with in about 10 minutes come up to me and ask me what kind of gun I was carrying and where I got my holster. I told them a few places online to look and also they could bring their gun empty into Cabelas to try out holsters. Just make sure to check it with the staff. They all thanked me and went on their way. After Cablelas we went to 5 guys on 172nd. No one said anything, but the staff members asked me multiple times if I was ok and needed anything. I told them I was fine. After 5 Guys, we headed up to mount vernon Walmart to meet my buddy Nic who was going shooting with us. Got a couple camping chairs and a tarp from walmart. No comments or looks. Went shooting at the pits north of Sedro Woolley. Had a blast. Then went back to Nic's house for some drinks and food. Went back to FMJ 911's house and watched a movie. Over all it was a great OC, shooting, and Birthday.
MON 15APR - Went to Ace hardware to get some ammo to replace what I shot the day before. As I walked in, a older male employee greeted me.
Him "I see you're a man on a mission going straight for what you need. You going gishing"
Me "No sir I'm just looking at the ammo to see what you have"
Him "Oh yeah I see you got a gun there"
Me "Yes I do"
Him "We are out of 9mm. Is that a 9mm?"
Me "No sir it's a .45 1911." "Can I get some of the .45 FMJ's you have in the case please?"
Him "Sure hold on"(as he's stuttering and hobbles off)
I waited for about 5 minutes when a female employee walks into the Isle.
Her "Ummm Heello"
Me "Hi"
Her "I'm going to help you. That guy was to scared to help you because you have a gun. What is it that you need?"
Me "I just need a box of the .45 FMJ's please"
Her "ok(Takes like 5 minutes just to open the cabinet.) Go ahead and grab what you need. Do you mind if I escort you to the register?"
ME "Whatever"
Finally after about 15 minutes I left with one box of overpriced of .45. It was like pulling teeth. I've been in that store plenty of times and never had an issue. But for some reason everyone was nervous and scared to deal with me. It is what it is.
It's wierd, I can go months without anyone saying a thing or starring and then a weeik straight of people saying something everywhere I go.
Yeah those were the first issues I ever had in payless or ace. We seem to miss just miss other a lot lol. I wasn't aware there was a new gun shop by red Apple. I'll have to check it out.
Here's the thread of the flap caused by the loony anti lady about the gun shop.
