Staff has been very friendly after being here for 20 minutes and I have not noticed any customers freaking out... yet. Surprising since I am only 100 yards from Leawood, KS. I will be checking many locations down the State Line as I have time. So far so good, more to come after I finish lunch and prepping my class...

I will be here for the next hour or two if anyone is nearby, say hi. White dress shirt and a Glock 32 in a Serpa :)

Most people are actually just smiling and going their way. A few kids have commented to their parents who seem unconcerned. One mom said, "That looks just like daddy's gun, doesn't it?" with a smile.

Looks like Panera may be a go at this station :)

Just don't try Starbucks at Ward Parkway Mall on State line. Starbucks is OK but the entire mall property is off limits for OC. I had some guards tell me a few months back, very friendly, informed me of small text signs at the parking lot entrances, nothing at the doors...

Time to get to work. 2 hours with my gun next to the walkway and no trouble. Looks like I have a new place to drink, snack and surf when I am out and about :)

Never had a problem at LS Panera either. Pita Pit in Westport is a go as well. Ate there today.
