Re: Ever Been Asked to Leave?
Never been spotted to my knowledge and never been asked to leave.

Re: Ever Been Asked to Leave?
I've never been spotted in someone else's business. Once in my family's business while loading something heavy, but that's all...
But there is a story on here from a couple years ago about someone being asked to leave a restaurant. You'll find the story here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=59117&p=725716

Your best option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
When those fail, aim for center mass.

Re: Ever Been Asked to Leave?
I am familiar with incidents discussed on a concealed carry forum in a different state where people OC'ing were asked to cover it up, or to put it in the car, or asked to leave a private business.
I am unaware of anyone getting into this type of interaction who was concealed, as expected.
Walmart is an example of a company whose corporate policy is to allow people to carry into their stores -- the stores cannot be posted even if that particular store manager is an anti-gunner. I am aware of cases where a Walmart was posted with a gun buster sign and a complaint to corporate had the sign quickly removed. However, store management still has the authority to ask an open carrier to leave the premises if it is causing customer complaints (or employee complaints).

Never been asked to leave. Once, in AZ, was told OC as no-go, but CC as A-OK. I moved my shirt from behind my pistol to cover it and carried on.Taypo wrote:Clowns displaying spares are typically OCT tools that like to be noticed. Recently displayed by Holcomb at a Whataburger to show them how smart he is, if I recall correctly. I'll be surprised if anyone on this forum will admit to doing it, but I'm sure the lurkers are applauding his genius at PR.
I've always carried my spare mag next to my cell phone on my belt. The cell phone is in its case and the mag is in a pouch with a flap that covers the mag. I've had one instance in which a buddy asked to borrow my "multi-tool".

Re: Ever Been Asked to Leave?
At least one person looked directly at your spare and still had no idea what it was, which is awesome. In direct contrast to the folks who WANT you to see their gear and somehow realize that they're obviously an important person.oljames3 wrote:Never been asked to leave.
