A buddy of mine who works at the Crossroads HD told me yesterday that a gentleman came in carrying his handgun, and was asked by store management to leave. When he asked where the signage prohibiting firearms was (there is none), the acting manager said that it was store policy not to allow handguns. I used to work there, and I've OC'ed in there plenty of times, so I know that that is blatantly false.
The management refused to let the man keep shopping, even after my buddy explained to them that what he was doing is perfectly legal. They told him to either leave the gun in his car, or not to come in the store. Apparently the guy didn't want any trouble, so he returned his weapon to the car and continued shopping.
(Edit: The guy did not return to shop, as I understood the first time I heard the story. The guy actually just left after the incident)
I'm planning on OC'ing there today, and if I can get the same reaction, I'm going to have them show me the (nonexistent) store policy or signage that prohibits open carry of firearms.
Will keep posted, but until then this is just a heads-up that you may be harassed for OC'ing at the HD in Crossroads.
