Yesterday, my girlfriend, my 2 year old son and I went to the walmart in Mukwanago and I decided to OC. I have OCed numerous times so I was assuming I wouldn't have any issues... I was sitting at the computer where you print your own photos waiting for my pictures to be printed talking kindly to the photo assistant (who knew I was armed and didn't bother her one bit).I look up to see two cops walk right passed me from my strong side and just kept walking...
45 mins later I was walking up to the checkout aisle and someone approached me...
Them: "Is that a gun?"
Me: "you betcha"
Them: "Did you know there are two cops in here looking for you?"
Me: "I saw the two cops a long time ago but they walked right passed me."
Them:"Well they said they were here to remove you. They said they would do it quietly but I dont know about that.. Everytime a cop deals with someone with a gun they freak out!"
Me: "I assure you that I wont give them ANY reason to freak out so that wont be an issue."
Them:" well it wasn't us that called them but Walmart has a Policy against guns in their stores."
Me:" Well I have done research and found that Walmart and many other businessess follow the states laws about carrying guns in there stores.. But if you would like me to leave I will gladly do so without any further incident."
Them:"Well i was unaware of this policy so you are free to check out your items."
I then asked him for his contact information which he gave me and told him that if he would look up the current gun policy, I wouldn't OC in that store until I talked with him again..
He then asked me why I carried a gun. I had my son in my arms during the whole conversation and I told him..."I carry a gun to ensure my sons and my girlfriends safety. Since Wisconsin law doesn't allow me to conceal my weapon, I am forced to carry openly like I am..
He was very friendly and Curteous throughout our conversation.. I am sure he will appologize when he finds out that store policy allows me to carry in his store...
When I went to leave, the cops werent even in the parking lot.. They were gone.. They had to have seen that I was compelely legal and didn't want to approach me.
This was my first "encounter" while OCing..
