So, today is opening day for the new Target Sports gun shop and range in Keego Harbor.
I walk in OC'ing, go up to the cash register, and ask for information on range hours and costs and CCW classes and costs. The guy (who later I found out is the manager) talked with me for a few minutes on that, invited me to walk over to the range by myself if I wanted toand take a look, and didn't say a darn thing about me OC'ing. So far, so good. I go to the outer window of the range and watch some people in there for a few minutes. Then I go browsing the firearms. A guy behind the counter asks if I need help, and I ask if he can get me a box of 9mm. They seem to be cool, so I'll gladly patronize.
Then, a girl at the cash register says "we request you cover" the gun. I tell her if I don't have a CPL, she would be asking me to do something illegal. That shut her up, but the manager walks over and says he'll give me permission to cover it in the store. Itell him that OC is lawfuland ask if they support all forms of lawful carry. He says they only allow CC. He asks if I'm "testing" them. I say, no I'm here shopping but do they prohibit open carry? He says yes, so I tell him I'm going to shop elsewhere. Bye bye.
It escapes me how places like this sell guns to people, yetdon't want them to lawfully use guns. All the while, the employees are open carrying themselves. That's somewhat schizophrenic,and I don't give money to crazy people.
