I had went to several stores trying to find one of them rope necklaces that the MLB Players wear for my son and ended up at Dick's today. It was my daughter and me wandering around looking at all of the baseball stuff. We had been in there 10 minutes when I finally found someone to ask about the thing and he pointed me in the right direction. Once over there, another associate came up and asked if he could help. So I asked him some questions about sizes and colors for a couple of minutes and then it happened. He noticed I was wearing my gun on my hip. His first question was "How long are you guys going to be in here?". Dumbfounded I answered "Huh?". He then proceeded to tell me that he needed to take my gun and place it in a case. Now at first I thought he was messing with me and joking around about my gun. But he kept on telling me that he needed to take it and put it in a case. He was very persistant on this. I kept asking him "What are you talking about, my gun isn't leaving my side". He pointed at a case for a long-gun, I'm assuming are used for those coming in for repairs or cleaning. Once again I laughed at him and told him that my gun wasn't leaving my side and he continued pushing his case. I informed him that there were no policies that were posted for guns that weren't coming in for a repair or good cleaning anywhere and that my gun wasn't leaving my side but I cerainly could just leave and carry my money elsewhere as I started on my way out.
Do I call and talk to the manager and let them know that their emloyee tried to disarm me and that would be a big mistake for one of their employees trying to disarm a customer. That could end up getting someone hurt, especially an employee. I could see that he really wanted to reach out and take it off my hip, he just didn't know that he would of pulled back a nub. Or do I email coorporate and let the word fall further from up hill? I ended up laughing my a$$ off as I was walking out the door and Sports Authority was very happy as I handed my cash to them instead of Dick's.
