Does this mean that I don't need my Food Lion "Carry Permit" any more? ............... yes, I have such.
Is that like a MVP card?

Good job, Jim:banana:I got a call from the manager today and he had contacted corporate and was told that properly hosltered firearms were not a problem and welcome to shop at Food Lion.
He did go off on a tangent saying that if he saw someone carrying a rifle or shotgun into the store he might take exception but all in all a good conversation and the problem is solved.
I talked to him a few minutes and was thinking about asking him to go to the range to bolster up his support if he was interested but he said that he already visits the Marksman and has some family property out in Wakefield that they shoot on.
I told him that I would be happy to come back to Food Lion since I have been spending all my money at Kroger and Farm Fresh the last week or so. He did make a point to say that he hoped that I wasn't offended (probably a recommendation from corporate) and that he learned alot from our conversations and researching the issue. I don't know if that means he got schooled by corporate or not but a win is a win anyway you look at it.
I chalk this up to a new & young manager and thankfully the "anti" (logic/2A) behavior was nipped in the bud. Have a happy new year everyone!
The manager said that he had only seen two other people OC-ing there a young man and his wife (DJEEPER???) but I have seen a few more.
No brother that's me! I usually have my 10 month old on one hip and my 1911 RIA on the other hip. I have never once been confronted at that store. I used to live in Falcon Creek Apartments, right there on Magruder until today actually. I was in that store yesterday and did not have any problems. Let me know what you hear from the store. I am PCSing to Texas for about 6 months then I will be back in Virginia.
Stay safe!

In reply #16 they already replied and reversed the managers anti opinion.I was in there yesterday too no issues.
Nice job, 45, and kudos to Food Lion management.
I swear, it is the large influx of folks from more restrictive States that cause the issues.
Of course I could be wrong, but I bet the mgr. was not raised in VA.
If you bought a Salt Shaker at Food Lion, and launched it with a sling shot, would you be using A Salt Weapon?
That was so lame, it was funny.
Please don't pepper me with salt from a salt weapon. Even though its a slingshot, the projectiles still move too fast for me to duck in thyme. I do prefer to sea salt coming, so just throw a pinch at me, so I can dash out of the way.
