Coming back from the OC meet at Florrisant Starbucks, I decided to drop into the Casey's in Elsberry. They have recently posted a HOMEMADE sign stating, in no uncertain terms:
CONCEALED WEAPONS ARE NOT ALLOWED
next to both entrances in the regulation 14x11 size but with 1"VIOLET letters.
(about the exact color of this, as a matter of fact)
So, since I was OPENLY CARRYING, I marched on in, grabbed a bottle of iced tea, and went to check out.
Without fail, the conversation I was expecting took place:
Checkout lady: You can't have that in here. (Pointing at my hip)
Me: Why not?
Checkout lady: There's a sign that says it's not allowed. (Two other female employees now walk over from the other register)
Me: If my firearm was concealed, how did you know I had it?
Checkout lady: Huh? (One of the other clerks is staring daggers at me)
Me: I saw the sign, and tucked my shirt in soIt wouldn't beCONCEALED. Do you think an armed robber, who doesn't care about a LAW against robbery, is going to happilyobey your sign like I did? How does that work?
Checkout lady: You just can't have that in here.
(I could plainly see I was getting absolutely nowhere. So I headed for the door)
Me: (over my shoulder) I guess folks that do their best to obey therules aren't welcome here.
