I pointed to the sign, when we went in the young man at the cash register said I can see it, I told him no you can't, by his demeanor I knew he was messing with me and I knew my .45 was covered, the wife looked puzzled and I told her because I said something about the sign and the slight bulge of my t-shirt he figured I was carrying, told her he's messing with me. we got our food, ate and left, no problems.
"I can see it."
"See what?"
"Your gun, sir. I can see it."
"Gun? I don't carry a gun. That's idiotic. Those things should be banned, and anyone who carries one is a redneck looking for trouble! I was just pointing out your sign before we came in, telling my wife here that at least we won't see any of those whack jobs in here!"

Walk away.......

The employee didn't deserve the truth so you should have told him what he sees is the bulge of a medical appliance and thank him for being rude enough to point it out!

It smells funny in there.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

If you don't want to risk being "trespassed out", say nothing. If you don't care about being thrown out (given notice), say you don't feel safe in gun free zones anymore.

My response is always that the place is dangerous due to company policies. If queried further I explain about easy, soft targets where the patrons are defenseless and that persons wanting to shoot a lot of people pick those first.

I tell people, "Sure, I'll answer any question you care to ask".

The answer may be "I don't know", or it may be "That's not your business", but I always give them an answer.
