Similar thing happened to me at Starbucks in Wenatchee. Gangbanger dressed similarly did an about face and left. I think he was there to get a coffee, but they don't like knowing the sheep are armed.

This is partially why I carry. There is a hot-spot right under some trees in the Albertson's parking lot next to my condo complex where drug dealers peddle their junk to the local kids... so now when I walk to the store, I OC and by some amazing coincidence, they're not dealing out of the parking lot any longer.

Same type of issue in my neighborhood. When I moved in a year ago, there was a lot of "hanging out" in front of the building by various persons of apparent insomnia...
Since they noticed my open carry to and from work and when I go out, they all have dispersed and I've heard reports they are "hanging out" in front of another apartment complex across town. (musta been cheaper rent there...)
The visual impact open carry makes is undeniable, we just need more "ordinary Citizens" to stop being "sheeple".
