So the wife was hungry for a cheesteak and we eat at Carmine's on a pretty regular basis... Steve, the manager knows us well and has always welcomed us and we have even had a couple of OpenCarry dinners at Carmine's.
Steve told me the other day some guy came in, by himself and was eating.. as Steve was making his rounds he struck up a conversation with this customer.. just regular stuff... how the food tastes, the weather, etc.
The the customer says... "A week or so ago, I was in IHOP having breakfast... and this guy walks in and my jaw dropped.. this guy had a GUN strapped to his hip out in the open for everyone to see!! I couldn't believe it! And he did not look like he was a cop and he had on a t-shirt and jeans" He continued.. "So Steve.. since you are a manager... what would YOU do if some regular guy just came in.. ordered a meal and sat down to enjoy it while wearing a gun?"
Steve smiled and basically told the customer that it is legal and that we (me and my dinner crews) have come a few times and had 20 people OCing with no problem and that I go there a couple times a month. The customer was like.. "what if they were to freak out and decide to shoot everyone?" and Steve explained that it is not the law abiding citizen that is who he worries about.
Steve actually lives in Maryland and not "gun guy" but I am proud of him for properly explaining the situation to the customer.
Way to go Steve! :celebrate
