That's OK, we all feel stupid from time to time. Just make sure there are very long intervals between those times and you'll be fine. As in do not follow my example.

I heard that people have had problems there so I looked for a sign but did not see one.

No problems today. The nice old lady who was handing out sales flyers saw it, the guys behind the gun counter saw it and the check out clerk saw it. No comments from anybody.

So this store that sells guns and open carry holsters waited until you had made your purchases and demonstrated that you were a responsible gun user before asking you to put a trigger lock on your openly carried firearm?

Do they even make an open carry holster that accommodates a trigger lock?

Actually I think we have a new kind of open carry. Yes we have had IWB (Inside the Waistband) OWB outside the waistband, Mexican Carry, shoulder holster and ankle holster. .......... Now we have a new one - the trigger locked open carry. I recommend that we give the instigator of this new type of open carry full credit and forever refer to trigger lock mandated open carry as Bass Pro Shop (BPS) Open Carry!!!

Just took my wife and younger daughter to Olive Garden on Jefferson Ave, NN. No problems, though I understand OG has been considered anti.

In view of all the recent murders in the so-called "gun free zones", I'm sure I would have had a zesty discussion with the mgr. had he tried to eject me "to maintain a safe eating environment for other patrons".

[Freeflight]

Stopped by East Coast on Rt 17 (by winfree's Firearms)

I was CC under my Jacket to get the Admiral some cigs

There was this real "Twitchie" guy just getting ready to check out, he knocked over a box of Slim-Jims or something like them off the counter and all over the place.

the Lady behind the register looked at him.. like "Well, are you going to leave them there...?" he says in a real Assholeish kind of way.. "Well its your own damn fault for putting them there...." and proceeded to put his items in front of her to check out. It was clear to me that the guy was a complete ass and was not going to pick up his mess... so I bent over and picked up the box (now empty because its contents are scattered all over the floor) and put it back on the counter where it was. he watched me do this (I'm fairly sure I gave him a "Stink Eye" and I know that my jacket rode up way above my Kimber... and I also know he saw it.) All of a sudden Mr ******* turns into Mr "I'm sorry... Here SIR I will get those..." and apologizes to the lady... Profusely... then pays her and runs out like the hounds of hell are on his heels.

She says to meafter he had gone "What was his problem??!!?" and we mused together as towhat changed his tune.. I told her "I think he saw the light! and corrected his ways..."

Shethanked me for helping and I wished her a merry Christmas and left with the Admiral's supplies...
