this has by far been the best - positive experience. I had to go get some more listerine mouthwash. and walmart has it fairly cheap.. im also only about 5 miles from the store.. I drove down. OC'ing. Was wearing a black button up dress polo, with some nice blue jeans, and a pair of my retired jungle boots, with my 96, and serpa. anyways, i OC'd into the store, and searched for a few things, and all of a sudden over the intercom. i hear ..
'WE HAVE SECURITY TRANSACTION ________ IN POWERTOOLS,BLACK SHIRT,Thank you'
I look up and ..low and behold. Im standing under the power tools sign i figured i knew what was coming.. and i took it as an opprotunity to just find a manager myself, before i got a word out he introduced himself, '..Hi im (don't remember name) .
'Hi, im phil, is there a problem?'
him' No not at all, (with a smile) .. I carry myself, but mines locked in the car.. '
Me - right on, well hey, i have a lpamphlet that explains the legality of openly carried firearms, and also.. the phone number for the security chief jason schmidt.
Him- very receptivly took the papers, and the phone number. And from there, it went into a 15 minute lesson about washington and open carry laws, also including the 'gray areas' about how law enforcemtn like to hassle.
he told me that when he managed up north. they had a few people, that open carried. alot of customers complained to be scared. but.. at the time. he was unclear on the laws.
HIM- Do you mind if i make copys of this ..every day we have pre work day meetings for training, id like to share it with my employees, that way.. if it comes down to it.. they know not to overreact. but to see it as a form of protection.
Me - not at all! that would be great of you! and all the people who i relate with on the Open carry subject really appreiciate the way your company supports our rights'
so to any of you who OC, in lewis county.. walmart.. Welcome !
anyways, thoguht this was cool.. hope you enjoyed the story.
