So it was cold out one night and I wore my Nightmare Before Xmas thermal shirt.
I went to Wal-Mart with my wife and kid. We walked around for awhile looking and then I noticed the As. Store Manager following me then she looked down at my weapon. Gave me a dirty look and pointed at my weapon
"You cant have that in here" she said,
"why" I replied,
" you cant carry that here, its Wal-Mart Policy" NOTE that she is saying all this in a VERY rude manor.
I replied with a smile " I beleive I understand Wal-Marts policy on the matter, better that you do"
She told me I had to walk with her to the phone. And I told my wife to finish shopping
As we got to the phone she made a call to Loss Prevention Dept and asked about it
"do you have a CCW Permit for that" she said
"Why, you can see it cant you?" me
she told the person on the phone NO in a pissy mood
(I have been calm, with a smile on my face the whole time)
She then made another call, I beleive to the Store Manager,
then she got a (OH SHIT) look on her face hung up the phone and never looked at me again,
she said with a low voice "Your OK" and walked away I just wanted to BLOW UP on her, but I just smiled and walked away,
The next night I wore the same shirt to the store HyVee, it was me my wife and kid, after looking around for about 20 min, I got confronted my 2 Managers, under my breath I said "not again" the guy asked me if I was a off duty LEO.
I replied "no"
He then ask what (I DO) I told him im a Computer Tech -- I love the look on peoples faces when I tell them that LOL
"so thats legal" he said
"Yes" i said
we then talked for about 5 min about the laws and why I carry, he told me a customer was concerned and thats why he ASKED me, he was VERY nice and understanding.
needless to say I still shop at both stores, but I go to HyVee the bulk of the time now.
NOTE- I have been OCing in both stores for about a year with no problems, the HyVee guy said he saw me in there alot but I was dressed normal, but I had my Goth shirt on those nights LOL oops
:celebrate
