Went shopping this afternoon at the Kent Winco with my wife and daughter. I spent over an hour in there, and absolutely nothing negative. I passed one manager who smiled and asked how we were doing. As we were checking out, the cashier looked at my firearm and let out the infamous "Is that real?!" line. I said "Yep." She responds with "Oh my! I am glad no one has come up to you and tried to take it from you, and start shooting all over the place!" I just sort of nodded and said "That's probably not going to happen." and smiled.
As I was bagging my groceries, a customer walked up and said
Customer: "Excuse me.. now this is just out of curiosity, but you can carry like that here?" (I felt like saying - "No, I'm breaking the law! Isn't that cool?" but I said
Me: "Yep. This is an open carry state!"
Customer: "Oh that is pretty cool man. I knew you could in Arizona, but not here. I guess I stand corrected!"
Me: "Actually many states allow open carry. You should check out opencarry.org for a lot of good information."
Customer: "Cool man. Well hey, you guys enjoy your afternoon!"
I posted this, because some other members have mentioned that they've had less than excellent experiences as Winco, but I passed a manager, and several employees, but nothing negative happened at all.
