I go to this starbucks almost everyday. That will change now.
This is what I carry on the small of my back. usually under my uniform, or ahoodie.. tonight.. under a black hoodie.
I get up to go to the bath room and it was probably hanging out.. I don't care either way. I have my CPL and I open carry often. I left my keys, my cell phone, coffee- And GOV. I.D. sitting on my little table. I come back and one of the employees comes over to me - This was the exchange of words.
Her : Hey, almost every time you're in here a costomer comes up and tells one of us that you have a revolver on you, Im sure you have a license and everything but starbucks' policy is that you leave it in your car.
Me : Really? I thought I usually did a pretty good job of concealing it - I'll keep that in mind though. - You say it's the policy that I leave it in the car?
Her : Yes it makes the other costomers feel more comfortable, That's all - I'm not trying to pick problems even the local police officers arent supposed to be in here with their revolvers showing.
-----By this comment, My jaw was literally hanging off my face. I was getting aggrivated THEN SHE ASKED ME TO LOSE IT, OR LEAVE.
I start gathering up my things and she said. No one should be carrying a revolver with them it's not safe.
I calmly corrected her. by saying by saying it's actually a semi- automic pistol, not a revolver and that it's actually perfectly legal for anyone with a valid CPL to carry either CONCEALED - or open in washington stategiven the location and circumstances.
Her : I don't know about that , Im just telling you what the law is in washington. And I know that it doesnt include acting like you're in the Wild West. It was just a simple request.
-I'll admit i got a little hot after that - I figured it would be best to just keep my mouth shut and leave. As I was walking out the door two Centralia police officers walk in, and greet me . (know them personally) I say with HEAVY sarcasm they should conceal just to be safe. .. I get a weird look from one. and the other one says.. "OHHH JEEZE, You're fine!!!!" with a chuckle.
It just pisses me off and I definitely think that we NEED to have more of presence around here. These sheep of people are killing me slowly.
What does it take to show people that the only harm we mean is to those who mean us harm? This will never end, and will never stop amazing me. People are so headstrong with what they think is right, wrong - Illegal or legal. I won't be going to starbucks anymore - And to further my effort in how I feel about this situation I will be letting my family know not to go there aswell.
