There's an OnCue near my house that I stop at regularly for fuel, coffee, etc. I also tow for that store when someone abandons a vehicle there.
I was talking to the manager about Nov 1, and he tells me "It's against the law to carry in here" , So I'm like really? What law is that? OF course he didn't know...there is no such law. Then he tells me "OnCue doesn't allow guns in here. We have had shootings here." I'm like, I can't think of a better reason to allow permit holders to carry. Did you know I've been carrying concealed in here forever? He's "Well, I'm OK with you carrying. But we will just put up signs." I told him that OnCue corporate's policy is to allow legal carry, and he's panicking, talking about resigning if they make him allow carry... wow, you think you know a guy...
After more conversation I finally find out what he's worked up about. There are a lot of criminals in and out of this store and he thinks they will all be open carrying. He got busy and I had to leave, so I just told him that this just doesn't happen in the 43 other states where OC is allowed. He tells me 43 states is wrong, that only Texas and now Oklahoma allow it. Wait...what????
I'll work on him... but I'd sure like to know where he gets his info.
