My wife and I went to WT's today to check out some prices. Their new location is great. It's huge, they have a great selection, they have an on-site range, and they host CCW classes once a month ($75.) On both sides of the door it says "No concealed weapons and no loaded weapons of any kind" (or something like that.) My wife and I are avid open carriers and were glad we didn't have our guns today. While checking out some pistols, I asked the clerk (I think she owns the place) about the policy. I'm paraphrasing, but she said it's to make her comfortable because you never know when some lunatic with a gun could walk in to rob the place. The first thing that popped into my head was that is EXACTLY why I would encourage carry in my store. In fact, if I were her, I'd damn sure be carrying while at work. Obviously, if she owns the place she can post whatever rules she wants, but I'm reluctant to spend any money in there. I thought you all should know.
