Went shopping for a TV today since my old one finally took a dump on me. I figured a pawn shop might be a good place to at least look. Went to the Super Pawn off of DI and was promptly asked to leave. Three guesses why.
Anyway, below is the email I just sent them. I'll post if I get a response.

To Whom It May Concern:
Earlier today, March 9th, I visited the Super Pawn located at 3270 South Valley View Boulevard in Las Vegas, Nevada with the intent of spending in excess of 300$ to purchase a TV. When I arrived I was promptly asked to leave by the clerk behind the counter because I had my pistol holstered on my belt.
Her statement was that not everybody can just carry a gun.
I was disappointed with her statement and told her that I would take my business elsewhere.
I'd like to inform you that in the state of Nevada, its is perfectly legal to carry a pistol openly and concealed. I'd also like to inform you that major electronics retailers such as Best Buy, Wal Mart, Frys Electronics and many others make no issue with legal firearm carry. They welcome myself, and others like me who chose to legally carry firearms, and more importantly to a retailer, they welcome our money.
It is disappointing to me that you chose to set yourself apart as unfriendly to people like me that choose to engage in a completely legal activity that allows us, should the need arise, to protect ourselves and our loved ones.
Please know that as I'm sending this letter to you, I will also be making my experience known publicly in forums and events frequented by other firearms owners and firearm carriers. A group that more often then not has disposable income, income that should you not choose to change this policy will more than likely not visit you in the future.
Thank you for your time.
