How were the range employees who were open carrying acting?

Did they act any different than the patrons using the range who could not open carry?

Were they inside the building or walking around the range?
WildBill,
1) The employees were casually OC carrying on the sales floor and they would wander around the firing range if they have to be there.
2) The employees acted normally and they OCed as if it is like second nature. I asked and I was told employees can go and practice on the firing line with their pistols.

Whats the issue? Their house. Their rules. If its a problem, you're not forced to give them your money.

I am not angry or making a fit. I did what I was asked to do to keep my vest on. I just wanted to understand what is the difference between OC and CC at the range. The only issue I can see, it is to protect the other customers feelings. But at the range everyone is shooting either a pistol or a rifle. :???: :headscratch

Beiruty, I have been at other ranges where the employees OC, but the customers don't. The Winchester shooting gallery in Fort Worth is an example. Winchester is also a gunstore. My son and his boss both OC in the gunstore his boss owns, as do the boss's wife, and his business partner. But I don't work there, so I cannot OC there.

Same deal as with shooting ranges.
