I open carried in Gander Mtn had a funny thing happen. I had to check in a rifle I was bringing in to get a quote on and she had me open the case for her and show her it was not loaded. I went to close the case and she says that one to, pointing to my holstered sidearm. I said what do you mean she says that she has to make sure all fire arms are not loaded and asked me to remove it from my holster, I quickly replied no and she looked at me kind of funny. I was starting to explain to her why I said no when another lady turned around and corrected the lady and said no he has the right to carry his fire arm in this store let him go. I think my smile was from ear to ear, I said thank you and she said sorry for asking me to do that and that she just started. I said no problem and went about my business. I took my rifle to the back and gentle men took it to look at it while I was waiting for him to get back I decided to look at the handguns they had. While looking at them I was approached by a gentleman who asked me if I was open carrying. I said yes and he said, “Hell ya great job”. I was in shock, w=he said he had kind of been following open carry stories (The news, paper. And he frequents fletchers to shoot). So I steered him towards the forums and Wisconsincarry.org and gave him a card that Hubert had given me in Sussex at starbucks. He said that he was going to check it out and would probly see me at some outings this summer. He also mentioned that he was not going to open carry till he saw somebody doing it in a store just shopping. He said I was the first he had seen. It was cool being the one that gave him the motivation to take that leap and try it out.
