I posted this to another post but I thought it was important enough that I post it again here.
I just got kicked out of Target Masters Gun Shop in Columbia. I went their open carrying and as soon as I opened the door I saw Jim Hill, the guy that give the interview on KRCG news yesterday.
I told Jim that a lot of people have worked very hard so that Missouri citizens can open carry state wide. We talked and he told me that open carry people like myself present a safety hazard to others by clogging the 911 system with people calling in scared of me walking around. At that point I told him he has no business earning a living selling guns. The guy standing next to him told me to leave that I had no business in their shop!!!!!!

twoskinsonemanns..here is what logunowner initially posted not once on this forum, but twice and he got criticized both places ...
the bolded sentence is the OP's own words on both threads...IMHO that statement truly falls under verbally berating someone on their own private property.
the OP didn't do a darn thing to advance the 2A cause you are waving the flag for any more than those who carry LG's and challenge LE while making and posting videos on the internet, eating establishments, etc. this statement has been proven over the course of the year by national businesses coming out and publicly making a stand firearms aren't welcome.
my contention w/asking the OP what he accomplished, and he has failed to answer, what did his tirade advance, except convince and provide Mr. Hill, et al., with fodder for the classes he teaches to the citizens of the community as well to be used for the next TV interview.
so perhaps you can tell me, in lieu of logunowner, what did his actions of getting trhown out of a private business after being verbally abusive while in the store accomplish for your precious cause?
my commentary in my last post, is based on my personal risk assessment of having someone walking into my presence on private property carrying a firearm, getting verbally abusive towards me. my situational awareness would cause me to posture ~ oh wait, Mr. Hill didn't throw logunowner out, another, as yet unidentified person did, perhaps their situational awareness caused them to posture by the OP's action(s) and tone of voice and, by the OP's account, threw him out.
to correct some of your misrepresentation in your last post:
i missed the op using the word ashamed, or in fact the other words you attribute to logunowner.
it is not Mr. Hill's establishment!
he cant tell us what he was trying to do because with the exception of Mr. Hill, he can't even identify the players in the store.
as stated, he attempted to garner empathy with his woe is me, i tried and sniff, didn't go a thing except get thrown out, so i am going to wear a badge of honour with distinction which he hasn't earned and actually failed miserably in his efforts since it didn't accomplish anything for 'the cause'. did it?
