I'm the new guy. Posted a couple times before. Just want to put my experiences out there from the Portsmouth/Chesapeake area.
Home Depot by Chesapeake Square- Only one look from the lady at the tool dept, other than that, no problems.
7-11 They see me every day for coffee and smokes, and asked about it once, I told them about the OC laws here in VA, next day both clerks told me they now OC wherever they go.
Best Buy- The cashier asked about my 1911 on my side, just made some friendly conversation with the workers there. No flak caught there.
Sonic on Portsmouth Blvd. and Charlotte Dr.- walked up to menu, ordered, 2 LEO pull into the lot, and sit down at a table near me. I then became a conversation piece/training tool for the LEOs. They walked over and sat down at my table and said they had just gone through training on OC laws due to the diner incident. :lol: They then ordered their food and ate with me. I'm active duty Navy and they were both prior service Navy in my rating, so we sat and conversed for a while. Good times.
Now there had to be at least one bad encounter in this post.
Walmart in Chesapeake Square Mall plaza- About 2 in the morning, I walked into walmart to pick up some supplies for the next day. I could tell someone was going to ask me to leave because the rent-a-cops were standing about 30 yards away on their radios looking straight at me. The night manager walks up, asks if I'm LEO, I politely said no, I told him I checked by the doors for signs that say 'No firearms allowed' and he told me to leave. The whole time I was nothing but polite to him, gave off a good vibe for him and everything. Got his name, store number, and the number to corporate headquarters and reported the incident. I politely informed him that if my money was no good there, I will not conduct my business there any longer. This was almost a month ago, and I haven't heard back from Walmart HQ.
