Last Saturday, Feb. 16th,wewent shopping at the COSTCO at 110th So and I-15; I had my Sig 9mm on my hip. My wife and me were there for maybe 30 min. when the store manager and his side kick approached me.
We were waiting for some help with a computer...when this person approached I thought we were going to talk computers. Instead he said;
Manager:
"I see that you have a gun on your hip"
Craig: "Yes, you are correct".
Manager: "Are you a police officer"
Craig: "No, I am not"
Manager: "Why are you carrying a gun?"
Craig: "If you must know...It's for my personal protection and It's my right to carry..."Utah law provides formy ability to protect myself, my family, and those that may need protection from any number of wack jobs that may be in this store right now." and then I said, "I noticed that there were no signs prohibiting the carrying of firearms in your store.The only place where I am prohibited from carrying are airports and federal buildings....I noticed that this was nether.
and then I asked..."Would you like me to leave.
Manager: No No, I'm not asking you to do that
Craig: "Then.... Why did you approach me and what are we talking about
Manager: "We're just concerned" .....
Craig: "I think that If some nut case...Like the oneat Trolley Square or the one in the Omaha mall came in here and started venting his hatred and anger you would be ask me for HELPrather thanbeing so concerned!!!
He didn't want me to leave because he noticed that I was spending money in his fine store. His sidekick tailed me and my wife the rest of the time we were there.
