Just like any other day, I had my Glock 26 in my holster (Galco inside the belt).
Tee shirt that wasn't to short but if i bent over and stood back up there is no doubt that it would get caught behind my gun. This is not anything i usually worry about, being a informed gun owner i know my rights and the rights about CC and OC
Now in to the story:
Earlier in the day I had shopped around at Sportsman's Warehouse, I know that most of the time i was in there store my weapon was showing... Not a word from any one. Then I went up the street to the Gander Mtn. @ 104th and I25, I was looking for a decent priced dummy launcher for the pup. I found what I wanted, it was a modest $100. Once i had what i wanted i procided on to the gun section to look and see how there hand gun section was doing. I looked around for about 3 min. and was approached by the guy behind the gun counter.
He said to me:
"Sir, you are going to have to conceal your weapon"
To which i answered:
"Why is that, Is that your store policy?"
him " No it is the law, and it makes customers uneasy"
me " you know that there are laws making OC legal right"
him " there are laws against Brandishing and that is what you are doing"
Brandishing, Really Brandishing. For those who do not know:
bran⋅dish
[bran-dish]
–verb (used with object) 1. to shake or wave, as a weapon; flourish: Brandishing his sword, he rode into battle.
–noun 2. a flourish or waving, as of a weapon.
At this point i was very upset, I took what was in my hands and left it right there on the gun case and left the store. Out of all the places i go while OC i never thought that Gander Mtn would be the place to bitch about it.
Anyways I may have a talk with the manager, maybe not... They did just lose a customer due to one mans Ignorance!
