I tend to stop at George Webbs a few times a week, whenever I'm out and about. And I always open carry. For the first time, today, I was asked to leave the store at 75th and Layton.
I had been there for an hour or so(was trying to type out something) when the waitress asked if it was a pellet gun. I said no. She then told me that it is not legal to carry a weapon in Wisconsin, that we have no carry laws. I explained that in Wisconsin it is, indeed, legal to carry a gun openly.
A few minutes later, she came back around and told me that next time I showed up, I should leave it in the car and walked away.
A minute or two later, she once more came up to me and asked if I had my car. I said yes, and she then told me I had to go put the gun in the car, explaining that the owners do not want any guns on the property. I shut down my computer, put it in my backpack, put on my jacket and left.
(The money was already on the bill, however, the tip was not... Thankfully)
This is kind of odd, as I've OC'd in that Webbs quite often, as well as several others owned by the same people, with no complaints. Questions(IE: Is that a gun, why do you carry it, I didn't know that was legal, etc.) but no problems, before.
One other waitress a few weeks before had told me that I was simply not allowed to remove it from the holster.
