I absolutely hate to report this hearsay, but I can't convince my buddy to come on here and tell it himself.
I'll post this exactly as he told it to me:
Today my friend and I were going to hang out so he was on his way over. At about 1:00PM he stopped at the Speedway at 10306 W. Greenfield Avenue, West Allis, Wisconsin to get a soda. He was carrying a baby Glock both in a pocket holster and using Clip Draw. When he paid for his soda the manager "Carol" barked at him that next time she didn't want him coming in her store with his gun. He advised her that her store was not posted, and open carry was legal. According to him she snapped "I don't care! No 'uncased' weapons in here."
He asked her if discriminating against lawful gun carriers was Speedways corporate policy she snapped at him "no, it's my policy. Do not come in here again armed ever again". He said the entire encounter was only about 20 seconds long,
I did get him to call the Speedway corporate office and lodged a complaint, and also leave a message for the district manager.
He showed me how his weapon was. One could barely see it, And it was fully secured in a pocket holster with the Clip draw over the pocket holding it very firm. It's not as if it was hanging out. It barely qualified as OC in my opinion.
As manager I suppose she has the authority to tell whoever she wants not to carry there. But the customer service rep he spoke with said the store must be posted if the manager doesn't want weapons carried. Not only is that station not posted, I've open carried there several times using a Blackhawk Serpa and nobody ever said a word to me. Also, I've seen other people OC in there. This woman clearly has an agenda. The fact that I and others have OC'd there means he was picked out. He really didn't even intend to open carry. He thought it was tucked down in the pocket holster enough to be unseen.
Alright. What does he do next? Should we wait and see the results of his complaint? That could take a while.
I think what he's most P.O.'d about is how embarrassing it was to have this woman scold him in public for doing absolutely nothing wrong.
