Tonight I dropped by Winco on Barger & Beltline in Eugene to do some late-night grocery shopping with my girlfriend and a couple other friends of mine. All in all we spent about an hour inside there, and only near the end of it, I was confronted by an employee who looked rather shaken and upset (makes me wonder if they drew straws to see who would confront me), and stuttering, asked me if that was a 'real gun', to which I replied, "Yes, it is". He then asked me if I was licensed to carry it, to which I replied that according to state and city law, i'm not required to have a license to openly carry my 1911. After this, he disappeared for a few minutes, returning with a person who's nametag only said "Person in charge". This "Person in Charge" then told me that it's 'against store policy' to carry weapons in the store. And then attempted to back pedal and tell me that it was scaring the customers (of which there are almost none at 1am in the morning) and that I needed to leave.
Does anyone know if it's actually against Winco policy, or was this guy, as I assume, just making it up?
