I went to Joe's yesterday to see what they had left. I went to the gun counter looking at range finders and decided to pick one up. The guy behind the counter didn't say a word about my gun. I then went to look and sleeping bag and was approached by security (lakewood town center security). She asked the questioned are you a cop. I said no mam just a citizen carrying a gun for protection. She said ok I just had a complaint that someone was carrying a gun and they were afraid I was going to hold up the place then she left. I thought ok that was not bad. Started making my way up front to check out and then the manager stopped me and said I needed to go put my gun in the car because they do not allow guns in their store. I asked when did that change because I always carrie in their store. He told me that they had a complaint about me. He had the attitude of he didn't care what was legal. I asked if I could take my item back to the gun counter and he told me that he would hold it until I returned. I politely said that's ok I will not be buying the item if I was not welcomed in the store with my gun and I walked out.
Now I know I should of talked to him and educated him but with his attitude and with the store going out of business I decided to just leave. I hope they made more money from the mom that was scared.
