(Snip for space..........) I know, I know, do not give any place a chance to say no... OC first and then deal with whatever happens after that.. but I had planned on shooting there again (until I can find another place) and just wanted to ensure a friendly atmosphere next time I was there. I think I accomplished that goal. Now I will be looking a lot hard for a new (and closer) place to shoot. I already have a couple of possibilities.
I wish I would have read this post before I seen you today. Shooters sports center is the only place I have been asked not to carry in all of the many places I carry daily (I don't ask). I had a thread about it some time ago. They didn't kick me out but asked if I would refrain from carrying next time i was in. They were really nice and gave me the whole bad guys will shoot us thing also. I went with a firearm I was going to shoot and the one on my hip was never going to leave the holster or it would have been in the case also.
They did allow members to leave fliers for WCI there so they can't be all bad! After attending a few gun shows and seeing some crazy stuff and also hearing stories of what happens in gun stores I can just about agree with no one carrying, even staff! Seems when firearms are laying about, common sense and basic safety rules go out the window.

Found the thread, almost one year ago to the day! http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/showthread.php?72165-No-Open-Carry-at-Shooters-Sports-Center-on-6-mile
It's funny thinking back at how nervous I use to get when I carried places .
