I am from the Richmond area and have a job in Tappahannock right now, I docabinets. Iopen carry everywhere I go and have not had any problems,until now. I have been traveling back and forth from this job and often stop atSheetz on the way to, or from. Probably been there about 8 times, without incident.Tuesday I went in around noon, it was busy for lunch. I was in line checking out, made the mistake of being in the managers line. Whenshe was getting to ring up my stuff she asked me,"Is thata regular gun?" I didn't know what to say, kinda threw me for a loop. Of all the things I wanted to say I politely sad,"Yes".Shethensaid, "Nexttime you come in here leave it inyour car." I then asked, Is thiscompany policy?" Shethen said,"Yes, you are making people nervous. Someone could come in here to rob us and take your gun and use it torob us." Isaid, "I'd like to see them try." She then continued to spue her anti gun agenda.................sigh...............:banghead:............sorry...........ok....... I'm ok, seriously.................:banghead:. When will people realize that thats is not true? Anyway I'm venting now but I believe I remained completely calm and respectful through the incident, even though she was treating me like a 17 year old child who doesn't know how to tie his own shoe laces. I finished paying and left. In hindsight I wishIhad left everything and walked out, but I really needed that Gatorade.
She was a shift manager. Don't think she has the say so in a situation like this. She said it was company policy, I don't believe that to be true. No signs where posted.
This was my first run in with anyone. I know I could have done a lot better, and not added the comment about the Bg's trying to take my gun. I'd like to hear what some of you would have done different. We learn from our experiences.
I was pulled over that night for a tail light being out. Had a very good experience with the officer. Very friendly of me OC'ing.
