So, after Van Hollen's recent announcement, I decided to start OCing myself. I'm young, just out of college, and don't have much money, so the concept of dealing with Brad Krause's situation frankly scared me off of OCing before, particularly living in Madison.
Despite living in this asylum, I'm a libertarian-leaning conservative. So, while I value my second amendment rights, I also respect the rights of private property owners to make the rules on their property. I therefore called my normal grocery store and spoke to the owner to determine if they had any policy about customers carrying firearms. He said they had no policy, but if they "had to adopt one", it would be against them. His manner when speaking seemed very uncomfortable, so I said it was fine, but he would no longer receive my business. I did the same at the next closest grocer, and was outright told they did not allow it.
Then I came to the third closest, Woodman's. I was told that they would be all right with my carrying, as long as the weapon was concealed. At first, I made it clear that general concealed carry was illegal. However, they re-iterated that carrying concealed in the store was fine. I took this as another rejection, until I talked it over with a few friends. One of them pointed out that CCing on private property is legal, as long as you have consent of the owner. Can I get some confirmation on this?
