My issue is with the manager. He seemed so upset and really blew it, as far as I am concerned. He was very afraid of me and was shaking during the whole encounter. But I think that the fear he had, at least in his mind, forced him to confront me in a more hostile manner than what was probably called for.
I wasn't there, didn't see it happen, and don't have a right to say a thing about it... but I'm gonna anyway.
I'm also well aware that a representative of a store can require anyone to leave at any time for almost any reason... but I want to offer a different perspective concerning how that manager handled the situation....
Perhaps the manager was NOT afraid of you at all. The hostility and physical manifestations mimicking fear could have been simple............... outrage..... that you dared to present an openly carried
gun into
his domain. And perhaps what appeared to be fear and hostility was nothing more than the adult version of the adolescent game "Mine is bigger than yours!"
I can never understand how an anti gun person can aggressively and angrily get right up into the face of someone with a gun right there in plain sight...:what: .... Makes no sense what so ever... unless looked at from the perspective of that tired old game of asserting a dominant position.
Ok... I'm done rambling.........
