Same thing here in Saratoga. I've been carrying open since I came here, daily, in 1995. One bar owner asked me not to, so I haven't since. Into banks for a long time. Then they got a wild hair about something, and even had me come into a back office where two suited men with pin lapels, claiming to be "Bank Presidents" gave me a long line about it being "Illegal." One I recognized as a Federal Attorney General.
I most recently went into Rawlins National bank here with an empty holster and was angrily confronted by the bank manager about it. Face it, they have a mentality that's un-American, and for what it's worth, I've experienced a lot of anti-male Feminism from their staff, as well.
While carrying open here is OK, the fact of the matter is that it takes quite a while for people to adjust to one. My whole life has been in espionage (Hence my need) and yet my life-long cover is one of a despicable. I hope to have formal recognition soon. (

If Wyomingites think you're a pervert of ANY kind, they mobilize to surveill, monitor, harrass, intimidate and run down or put six feet under. The above bar owner, also the local drug baron, was also my neighbor & I reported drug activity to Police.
So he put out a "Hit" on me, and two well-known gay-bashers apparently took up his offer of meth in exchange.
My sons & I used to camp a lot, and couldn't understand why this multi-colored hair duo and a young woman had been constantly trying to run us off the road. Then, my son told me "Daddy, the two men in the truck are coming again & they have ski masks on." I'd been looking for winter gear, but they were taking them off as they approached us at our camping site, asking us strange questions, and quite obviously high and hyper. They kept looking at each other, me, my hostered .357, back at each other, and back again. One claimed to the be the Police Chief's son, laughing uproariously.
A lot of other stuff later happened that evening, as in someone sneaking into our camp in the dark but leaving hurriedly when I chambered my shotgun. There were shouts & shots from their campground up above, later reported in the press as the "Spring Creek Assault," an apparent kidnapping & rape of a mixed race couple which became obvious was why their car's tires had been all flat yet the truck in attendance. Yet, we'd been at HOG PARK Creek.
I reported this in detail to CC Sheriff Jerry Colson, who ignored me completely. He'd previously denied a CCW on the ground that he thought me "Paranoid." Going to lengths to inform him of that which I was sworn to secrecy about during my enlisted US Army M.I. status gets nowhere, and he always treats me like a "Nut Case."
He was delighted to seize all my firearms and ammo for a time period (What a job!) that my brain-damaged wife got mad at me & reiterated to Family Services false claims that she'd made 27 years ago, that were dismissed WITHOUT PREJUDICE at the time. These were sent to Phoenix by HI Judge Ueoka, where along with other espionage documents sealed by HI Judge Komo, should be unsealed soon. In other words, she'll possibly go to jail for her attempted "Honey Trap"if she doesn't put me away as a witness, first, and "Sex" and "Guns" ALWAYS gets cops and Feminists in unbalanced heat.
Any guess why local Editors nor "Investigative Reporters" will never report on my stories?
Ironically, I was sworn in as a M.I. Warrant Officer, CID & Civil Affairs, on this "Social Stuty Experiment" before I ETS'd in '77, and told that when it was time, I'd get all my past paychecks, rank, status & be subpeona'd to D.C. It may happen soon as concerns Gary Condit, Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama and more.
When McKinney and Henderson appeared in the press after beating Mathew Shepard to death in Laramie, I recognized them & reported such again, again to be ignored.
There simply has to be several other similar unsolved murders with the same M.O. here, and WY politicians don't want any more public "Black eyes" about it.
When I got a Florida CCW, these locals organized the state legislature to pass a special law that applied ONLY to me, that disallowed my Florida permit here.
In actuality, for a person like me, not able to appear as if a PC-Correct bastion of the upper crust of society, concealed carry is polite, civil, non-disruptive, common sense carry. The bad boys know I'm always armed, and professional hit men are beware, anyway, but tourists from other states and local feminists & vigilantes always reach for their cell phones.
I wonder, over the years, how much police resources, personnel and the like have been wasted in such false reporting. One of their favorite "Anonymous" harassment are READI reports, and I've been pulled over by the State Patrol for a DUI check several times.
Even when I drive 10 mph under, just to be conservative.
Even this in a state which USED to be "Open carry" with a beer can on the way home from a bar or work.
As you can see, ANY regulation on gun carry simply allows the close control over ALL activities, legal and illegal - By the Power Who Be. I often wonder if the drug activity here is "Protected," the way I saw it so prevalently when living on Maui. There, CCW is prohibited - But the PC and racially Correct are issued covert "Sheriff's Deputy Badges," instead.
They will take ALL your rights because it feels good - They're like anyone else and subconsciously like that kind of personal power over another human being. And the more tax money they accumulate to do it with, will anarchy grow.
Obama is already building the gulags on military bases, I understand.
I've deliberately endured this constant social burden here, just to make them get used to it - Guns DON'T equal terroristic violence, as the media brainwashes them into.
