I was at the Littleton Best Buy with some friends to look at some TVs. I've been here without incident many times before so I just assumed it was just gonna be another day. I was really dressed up, black slacks, black dress shirt, red tie, and to complete my sharp image, a full sized Px4 .40 in a black Galco Vertical Shoulder Holster. Anyways, we were checking out the Magnolia section then the TVs then decided to look at the GoPros. Since I've been here before I wasn't too worried about anything...save for one person (the manager? he was wearing a dress shirt instead of the blues or yellow) following me around.
My friends decided to look at the laptops and it was then I noticed he and the yellow shirt security guy walking in my direction. All my alerts went off and I knew something was going to happen...and of course it did. They asked me if I was an LEO and some people were complaining that I was "terrifying" them. I was excited to finally be able to tell someone about the policies/laws/regulations that I've learned on this forum. I said no, I was an LAC and CO is an OC state, save for Denver, federal buildings and places with metal detectors. They said I couldn't be in there with my sidearm. I wanted to say bs, but being someone who OCs...I said there were no signs forbidding OC and it was their policy to follow CO state laws. The dress shirt told me that BB is a private business and yellow shirt told me he was a former LEO and he never heard of such thing. I noticed more and more employees surround me. I was starting to feel a bit flustered and outnumbered and I told the yellow shirt if OC isnt allowed then there should be signs, I was doing nothing wrong and I was going to continue my business. Dress shirt repeated his private business statement/trespassing and yellow shirt followed up saying I should answer to the Lakewood PD. When I heard trespassing, my mind jumped to my record and being selecting into Army OCS and I just gave up...pathetic...
I complied and left. As I exited, I called up BB Corporate and told them my story. The person who answered told me BB doesn't allow OC. I called bs but in my head of course. I told them if there really was such a policy then there should be signs since CO is OC and she said she'll contact the store about that...
I hung up defeated. I think I screwed up...
