I just got kicked out of the Old Navy on 86th St for carrying a firearm.
As always I carry conclealed wherever I go. I was minding my own business at this lame Old Navy Store waiting for my mother and sister to finish up in the fitting rooms or wherever they were at, when this lame manager came up to me telling me to step out of the store. When I asked him what was up, he told me that I am carrying a firearm and that this is not allowed in this store. When he told me this, I replied to him saying that I am legally permitted to carry since I have an up to date license and that they dont have any "No Firearms" signs posted anywhere! He then told me that it is Gap and Old Navy policy that firearms are not allowed unless you are an LEO and told me to leave the store agian. I told him that since this is the case I will not be spending any more money at any Old Navy affiliated stores. He then said that he knew that I had others with me so he would give me a couple of minutes to leave.
I called my sister on her cell phone to get them to leave all the crap that they were wanting to buy and get the heck out of this lame store, but as always nobody ever picks up the damn phone when you need them to!
I then started walking around trying to find my mother and sister with this lame manager on my tail the whole time. I got fed up of this manager following me everywhere so I eventually left the store with my mother and sister in their own freaking world and waited in the truck.
I do not open carry but the barrel of my 1911 was peaking out from under my jacket causing it not to be fully concealed at all times. I was wanting to go back to the manager and tell him to post some "No Firearms Permitted" signs if this is the case but I did not want to start a commotion and end up getting into some deep bull...
Should I write a letter to the Corporate office over this situation or not because this has pissed me off so damn bad I can't see straight!
How would have you guys and gals handled this situation?
