Not sure if Dulles Town Center is anti-gun....

I work near Dulles Town Center and I recently bought a new suit that needs some tailoring. So, I took my suit to a tailor in the mall. I OC'd while in the mall with my family. I entered via JC Penney and noticed not signage forbidding the carry of firearms.

We walked from JC Penney to one end of the mall and then back again. Went over to the Ben & Jerry's at the food court and had some ice cream, then proceeded back out JC Penney to leave.

While I was in the mall, it appeared that only 2 - 3 mall patrons noticed the firearm. 2 - 3 other store employees also noticed.

Thought I'd pass on the, apparently, positive mall experience in case others had wondered the same. This was the first time I had actually OC'd in a mall such as this.


EDIT: To insert forgotten word, probably makes it easier to understand now:)

Had the sheep call 911 on me there. A few weeks later, I was talking to on of the deputies there about the incident and he went and got ado/don't flyer. Haven't been back since.

Wait, I thought B&J's was on the NRA's "Evil Companies" list. :lol:

It is certainly on VCDL's gun unfriendly list.

This Ben & Jerries in Dulles Town Center is really a kiosk in the center of the food court. Just a large Kiosk :D

Why won't these stupid companies stop donating money to this or that cause - I think that they'd pull in more business if they didn't piss off half their potential customers.

Well, Ben and Jerry's was started by a couple of lefty/hippie types, and they have to maintain their lefty image Iguess, even as they make a pile of money selling ice cream like any good capitalist...

They figure what you don't know won't cost them a dime in sales. Moreover, most people do not shop based on their politics. If the kids want ice cream, and B&J's is the closest place ... Well you get the picture.

Ben and Jerry's supports convicted cop killers.

This has been known for some time. I refuse to purchase their products.
