Ok if the weather gives us a break, I propose we make a point of Open Carry Purchase. If you need books, go there, to Barnes and Noble, Libbie Place and BUY. Rewarding GOOD behavior should help insure more of it. I have a few new releases on my list as it is. I know where to buy.

Three cheers for ClumsyCandy!!!
Good work, and I'm glad you got this manager straightened out.
I have OCed in B&N's all over the place with nary a problem--NC, VA, WV, PA. It's too bad this happened to you when you had a child in tow.
But sometimes, it takes these minor inconveniences to educate these power-hungry anti's who think that their tender sensibilities and irrational fears trump State law and the US constitution...
You are hereby declared to be an official "2A Activist" for actively and successfully engaging "the system".
Good on ya!

Actually, "open arms" is a GREAT pun. When you think about it, it would be a great title for any kind of pro-OC organization, publication, or event.
Certainly more interesting/engaging than "OCDO."

Finally got my call from the store manager. Bottom line is we are welcome there.
The manager was most cordial and spoke positively of RKBA.
She expressed a desire for a simple answer to those that express concern. Beyond suggesting that she tell them that such (OC) was legal in Va, and that BGs don't conceal their guns, I don't have a really good effective suggestion - at least not one that contained any magic potion.
My favorite is "Well are they doing anything illegal?"
Anyone got a really, really good one?

So, maybe something like...
"You know, here in the United States, we have the Bill of Rights which protects our business, even if we might happen to sell books or magazines that are critical of the Government. Those same rights also protect law-abiding citizens who feel it is prudent to be able to defend themselves from crime that could happen anywhere, and at any time."
Something like that...

N6ATF - There are those that have died defending our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Neither their lives nor those articles are worthless or otherwise diminished in value.
I realize that was not your intent, but it was my reaction. :?

Last week at a local mega-chain book store, some guy hid and waited until closing time, then pulled a gun, herded everyone into the back of the store, robbed them and took register receipts.
But nobody was hurt so I guess you don't need to protect yourself. Yeah, riiiiight.

Sacramento PD: Bookstore robbery suspect arrested
By Kim Minugh
kminugh@sacbee.com
Sacramento police say they have found the man who they suspect lurked in the aisles of a local bookstore until closing time and then robbed the joint at gunpoint.
Police are not releasing the man's name, but said a tip helped them identify him the man who allegedly hid inside the Barnes & Noble on Arden Way until after closing time on Feb. 3.
He then emerged with a gun and ordered employees into the manager's office while demanding money, according to police.
He made off with cash, police said.
Police released a surveillance photo of the robber (see photo left).
After identifying the man, police found he already was in custody for an unrelated crime.
They have not yet added the robbery charge for the Barnes & Noble caper, but plan to do so after further investigation, said police spokesman Sgt. Norm Leong.

That Barnes and Noble story hits home (even now months later) because I work at at college Barnes and Noble as such I am unable to carry on campus (because I am affiliated with the private university I know the rules even if they aren't posted). A few of the managers know that I carry a gun on my off time and I could just see them looking to me in a scary situation like that or if they knew someone else carried just hoping they would have broken the rule just once.
