A friend of mine sent me a text today, he had a question for me about business owners rights. Is question/experience was a bit odd so I thought I would put it in its own thread.
The conversation started with him asking me if a business could ask to see your OK handgun license.
I told him they could as there is nothing in state law preventing them from asking and they may have a policy to allow lawful carry after verifying a person had a permit. Not that I agree with this practice, but it is still private property and the business owners decision to make.
He told me he did not see a sign when he entered the store and he had no problem showing his permit. Now the odd part is the manager wrote down his name and his license number. He was told he was welcome to carry carry in the store and so he thanked the manager and went on about his business. I told him having my name and license number written down would have been a deal breaker for me and I would not have let it happen. Now it is possible that the manager could contact OSBI and file a complaint against him.
The store he was in was the Ross Dress for Less store located at I-240 and Penn in OKC. I told him to follow up with the corporate office on Monday and try to find out what their corporate policy is and to let them know what happened.
After he tells me what he finds out, I will add it to this thread.
