So, I frequent Beth's Cafe at the NorthWest corner of Greenlake on Highway 99 (Aurora), mainly due to the fact that I'm both a caffeine addict and a night-owl and they're open 24 hours a day. They know my face well enough there and I've learned a few of the employee's names.
I was there last Thursday September 6th and had decided to OC while having coffee and studying my textbook for next quarter at 2am. The manager had passed by and was standing at the register about ten feet from me and 3 feet from him on one of the stools was the cook. Out of nowhere the cook says "Is that a pistol?", which caught me a little off-guard so I just answered "Yup."
He then asked: "For self-defense?"
Me: "Yeah, pretty much.... And I belong to a group of people that try to raise the awareness of the legality of open carry."
Cook: "Oh, I already knew it was legal, a friend and I were talking about it a while back."
The conversation continued onto some other topics from there. The manager stood there and listened to our conversation for a good bit, too.
Just the fact that he already knew it was legal blew me away!
I then OC'd there again on Sunday September 9th with an almost totally different crew and nothing was said what-so-ever.
Both times I wore my dark blue blue-jeans and a light blue denim button-down shirt, so my GLOCK 27 and SERPA holster were pretty conspicuous.
Not sure if my experience there warrants adding them to the Pro-gun Business List, but the acting night manager was right there and didn't say anything. Also, that cook is fairly new; he's been there for a couple/few months. So, before I add them, I'd like all of your thoughts on whether they should be put on the list.
