    S.E. of disorder
    I pull my shirt over my gun but the muzzle still sticks out a bit. What does that count as?

    This is me. I don't intentionally uncover but it happens occasionally. I take that back, I did uncover intentionally one night when I stopped for gas in an area that I would typically avoid during the daylight hours. A couple of the locals were sitting on some pallets of mulch speaking loud enough for me to hear that they were referencing my presence on their turf. When they had pumped themselves up enough to unseat themselves and start walking towards me I stretched enough to "un-conceal" the .45 semi auto under my shirt. I guess they must have realized they had mistaken me for someone else since they turned and left so abruptly.:rockwoot:

    I've seen reports say about 2% of the population carries and of that, less than 1% do on a daily basis. With how many people say OC is bad because CC has a "tactical advantage" and it is ingrained into them, I'd be willing to bet, less than 0.0001% actually OC.
    It's rare enough that we have a thread who's entire topic is where we've seen OC. It's exceedingly rare.

    Kroger said please don’t open carry. Is that really enough to boycott them? I don’t think so


    Yeah, boycotting for OC alone comes across a lot like

    Thanks, mostly Grocerys but could be anything knowing the wife.
    I think businesses should stay out of the political fray altogether, it's a lose, lose proposition for them and everyone else.

    I'm with you there. They are seemingly afraid of the flash mobs. The whole situation has put a damper on my shopping, or shall I say the wifes goings.

    Unless they post a no guns sign prominently at the entrance, all they can do is ask nicely. They have no legal recourse if the answer is no.

    I concealed carry, and if there's a business with a no weapons policy that has something I need, I concealed carry in it anyway.
    Never had a problem, and if they notice and ask me to leave, I'll just leave.

    We're going to be out of places to shop really fast...


    While I despise businesses imposing social, political, and CYA policies on me I feel like boycotting them is a bit like tailgating the car that just cut you off or pulled out in front of you to teach them a lesson. Is there any business that has reversed its firearm fear policies?

    If you mean they used to allow OC, then yes they reversed their policy. They've jumped on the CC-only bandwagon too.

    They used to ban carry all together, then reversed their decision after a man defended himself from two thugs in Milwaukee.

    Aldi customer won't be charged in shooting

    Wisconsin's First CCW Self-Defense Shooting - Wisconsin Gun Owners, Inc. (WGO) - Wisconsin's Only No-Compromise Gun Lobby - Wisconsin Gun Rights - Wisconsin Concealed Carry : Wisconsin Gun Owners, Inc. (WGO) ? Wisconsin's Only No-Compromise Gun Lobby

    But now I see they are back on the list...
