The last few months I have been busy between family and work but last week while in Las Vegas I was able to get a day to myself. I went I into the gun store to shoot a SAW, way over priced but worth it. After I got done shooting I went into the back part of the store where they sell guns to looks around. While I thought the people in the shooting range part of the store where all nice and friendly once I walked into the back part of the store it was a entire different world. I walked up to the counter and was completely ignored for the first few minutes. A young guy about my age was working the counter and was OCing a glock. I walked up to him smiling and told him I was visiting from Washington state, he did not seem impressed but my feelings where not hurt.
I told him a lot of guys up in Washington OC and asked him if it was legal here. He rolled his eyes and said "yeah its legal but don't do it". When I asked him to explain he said he told me I was stupid and need to get a cpl. When I told him I have one but still believe in my right to open carry. He told me again I was stupid and that its too easy to get in trouble. He told me in Nevada all anyone has to do is feel threatened by the site of your gun, call the police and that I would be arrested. I was there visiting and really didn't feel like getting into a discussion. I told him "well it's different where I come from" and walked away. As I walked away he told me to use my cpl and stop trying to show off. I laughed a little because found his comments humorous coming from a man who was open carrying him self.
It doesn't matter I still had a great time I finally shot a real fully automatic machine gun! Check one more thing off my bucket list!
I did go online to the Nevada thread and post the same story the day it happened they told me they are open carry friendly as far as the state goes and that the gun store was already on their radar
