I have had some........interesting run-ins with gun stores in open carry states having coniption fits over the fact that I would even dare to carry a loaded and holstered firearme into their establishment. One clerk even put his hand on his weapon when I refused (politely) to surrender my firearm to him. I couldn't help but laugh at him because of the rediculous nature of the situation. It was like Barney Fife on crack the day after his first sleepover with a female.

I refuse to patronize businesses, especially gun stores, who refuse to let me carry the very item they are trying to sell to me. Im I crazy or how do you feel?

There is only one gun shop in my town that posts. They also happen to be the most over-priced store in town and have a reputation for screwing people. I don't even go in anymore.

I don't patronize BUSINESSES that don't allow me to carry on their premises.

Whether its a gun store or not is irrelevant to me.

If they don't like my gun I don't think they'd want my money either. That's because the only way they'd get my money is if I used it for toilet paper first.

Yes, because thats just plain rediculous....

I like that answer.

I don't patronize any business at all that doesn't allow me to carry except the post office...kind of limited there (work related).

I especially can't stand places that should be pro gun and pro 2A and aren't.

Seems like it should be an oxymoron - an anti-gun gun store. What are they worried about? Law abiding citizens shooting up the place?

I know probably not worth your time, but I'd be curious as to the mgmt's reason.

Lame.

A gun store that does not allow a permit holder to carry in the store should close their stinkin' doors and they won't get a red cent from me!
