Okay as my previous posts have stated i have been harassed a few times at Smiths near my house and i just got harassed again, this time by two undercover "security" personnel. One of them came up behind me really close and went for his left pocket with his right hand. He was lucky i didn't draw on him as it looked like he was reaching for a gun.
He instead pulled out a "badge" and stated that "You cant have that in here you need to leave." as his partner or whatever came up AGAIN behind me and got up close.
So there i am in the middle of the magazine isle sandwiched between two "security" personnel and with both of them saying "You need to leave NOW, go put that in your truck, you can NOT have that in here, its our policy."
I was not given even a chance to defend my legal rights as i was given no choice in the matter and was blocked from moving at all. So i decided to just comply and put my firearm in my vehicle. (which i HATE doing as we all know its not safe to leave a firearm in a vehicle even though my glove box locks.)
The funny thing is i go there honestly almost every night (armed of course) and now the night cashiers know me quite well. One of them commended me for openly carrying and the other always asks "where's your gun?" on the rare nights that i DON'T have it on my hip. Even a most of the night security staff know me and either say hello and talk to me about guns or they just ignore me.
I would like to send an email to Smiths corporate offices and find out their standing on this issue and if they follow state law as Wal-Mart is supposed to but i could not find anything that would to to anything but a comment and questions form.
I'm getting really tired of this and if i go into that store any time before 8PM i seem to get harassed. :cuss:I REALLY REALLY hate Wal-mart (my car got keyed there by the mexicans that sell tamales because i would not buy any and told them "to leave me the hell alone and to stop bothering me every time i go there." and i will not go there anymore.
The only other choice i have is to go to Whole Foods and spend a LOT more.
Help please?
