PS NAPA could care less. Go in there all the time and never a peep. Two years plus and counting.

O'riely's follows state law,
O'Reilly's (formerly Schucks) only written policy is for Employees. No guns or even ammo allowed in Store or in vehicles parked in lot.
As for Customers, they are reluctant to confront any Customer for Anything. Employees are even told to avoid confronting Shoplifters. After all, they don't want to upset them an send them to Napa or Auto Zone.
(note: I worked for them for a few years after I retired. The local management doesn't want to do anything that might offend any customer, even if they aren't really a customer.)
Yea a very close acquaintance of mine works for them. He Managed two stores before being made DMZ, been with the company for 25 years. Guns on customers good to go.
To go along with your point he once told me if someone comes in and asks for a cheeseburger he instructed his employees to go across the street get one from McDonald's, bring it back mark it up 30% and sell it to them.
Is his name Dave?
Yesterday's OC encounter:
I was up at Custer for a match (Tac rifle) and went over to the Jack-in-the-Box for breakfast before the match, had my Glock 20 strongside in Blackhawk Serpa. Lady walks up behind me in line. My assessment was no threat, so just waited my turn to order.
She: I didn't know you could do that here.
Me: Any citizen that may legally own a handgun may legally carry it openly in WA. OK, you can pick at the 18-21 restriction, but it did not apply to either of us, so I'm not going to detail every letter of the law.
She: Oh, I thought you might be LE
Me: No, just a citizen.
She: You're not undercover?
Me: If I were I wouldn't be very sneaky, would I? No, just a citizen.
She: I wish we could do that where I'm from. (Giving away that she's Canadian, which I kind of suspected, but didn't ask)
Me: I wish you could, too. Folks seem to be much more respectful to one another when there are firearms present.
She: (slight laugh- nervous? or just my obtuse English humor?)
Then we chatted about all kinds of sundry things while we waited for orders and food. Kind of a non-encounter....
We stopped in at the municipal gun range. Very nice, 135 a year, 8.50 a day for residents.
Wow. Really? Custer Gun Club is $65 per year.
PS Dinner at Paso Del Norte on Sat evening. No comments, no notice that I could tell.
I usually do not get on highways on friday afternoon, but I rec'd a new pistol in the mail and I had to get some ammunition. I needed 9x18 and headed over to Big 5 at the mall. Parked and went in the side door straight into B5. Wandered around looking at sharp things while waiting for a sales rep. Guy came over, had no 9x18, thanks anyway. He suggested trying Yeagers. Polite, and quiet. No weapon issues.
Off to Yeagers. I parked in the back and headed for the door. Sign says "check your weapon or conceal" more or less. I covered and went right to the counter girl and asked about open carry and mentioned the sign. She asked me to cover while she checked and I picked up my ammunition. I checked out at her desk and she told me that the sign was directed to people turning weapons in and OC was allowed. I uncovered, got a 10% discount on the ammunition (mil) and went about my merry way.
Did you get her number?

That's weird. I go to Yeager's all the time, always go in the front door, have never seen a sign, and have never been asked to do anything with my firearm. Either they mostly don't care or I am just oblivious.
I think what they want you to check is any gun you'd be "handling", like one brought in for trade or for service.

There is a sign on the front door (Northwest Ave entrance) that says check your weapons with the cashier. But it also says "except for those carried for personal protection". That's from memory so it may not be an exact quote.

I routinely carry in the store and have never had an issue
Haha. Guess I am oblivious.

Not just you I didn't notice it until Tyler brought it to my attention last year. I always just walked in.
