Went to Costco, Milford on 04/18/2011. I was OCing. I was stopped by the "front end" manager after about 5 minutes of shopping and asked if I was law enforcement. I said I was not. She asked if I was carrying a gun. I said I was. She said her employees were upset and alarmed by the fact that I was carrying. She then requested that I leave the store, but that I could return without the gun. I complied. I secured the weapon in my vehicle and went back to shop. I was still wearing an open holster. I completed my shopping and then asked to see the Manager prior to leaving the store. He was cordial. He told me that he thought guns could only be carried concealed. I advised him that was not the case in Connecticut. I gave him a copy of the CCDL pamphlet. He said he would check into the legality of open carry and would call me. Haven't heard back from him yet.
