My wife and I spent 45 minutes shopping the Roseville Bed Bath & Beyond on Gratiot Sunday. A few friendly employees asked if I needed any help but never commented on my holstered sidearm. After spending $75 my wife and I left the store only to walk into two patrol cars, one talking to the manager of BB&B. The officers were very nice, I produced ID voltuntarily and gave them my phone number.We exchanged pleasantries and Officer Price jotted my info down in a note pad. It was all of 90 seconds and I was on my way after exchanging hand shakes. After emailing corporate, I spoke with Kelly Messman, director of customer service for BB&B today. She stated her company's policy is to follow state law in regards to firearms and I was welcome back into the store anytime. She gave me her direct phone number to call if I were to ever have a problem in the future. She was very apologetic and stated the store managers would be recieving a memo on OC/CC to avoid future issues. She had said the manager only called the PD for guidance on if I was breaking any laws. I will be contacting the Roseville PD chief for further discussion on his officers reponse. It is my contetion the officers should have never come, but to their credit, they were very nice.
