Got into a confrontation at the Sportsmans Warehouse in Loveland today...

Customer is a jackass. He should have either said nothing to anybody or told you that your piece was showing and move on.

[Irving]

Too bad no one else didn't say anything. I know I sure as shit would have said something to him.

[Rabid]

I asked about the guns need to be checked sign, the answer i got was if the gun is going to be unholstered for any reason it needs to be checked otherwise your fine open or concealed. Too bad the employee did not know the store policy.

You upholster your guns?

I give this rant a 2/10. Guy sounds like a D-bag. There's always a couple out there. Good job not telling him to pound sand..

I'll agree! But it get's a 1/10 for being a really long read. I give the boy a 10/10 for screaming, and kicking is way out of the store! Poor lil dude.......


Edit: Dude was a tool! You handled yourself well.

[Rabid]

You upholster your guns?

Oops

[rondog]

Yeah, should have just went from partially concealed to full OC and said "Oh thanks, I didn't know it had gotten partly covered up!"

I'm sure I would have had to explain that the "rule" he was so concerned with was in regards to firearms being carried in for reasons other than defensive carry. A friggin' cheeseburger should have enough sense to know that.

I applaud the OP for being cool... Guy wouldn't even speak to you directly? He deserved one of these:

I have a very calm way of handling situations like that. After I cover the gun back up, And the 'customer' continues to pry, i tell the 'customer', "Eat A Dick!" A good stare down right after is required. If the 'customer' doesn't have the stones to look you in the eye, then he probably isn't a man and he probably likes a penis in his mouth.

Then i go back to what I was doing.

If I'm not violating property owner (store manager) policies, then I'll seek clarification on what the policy entails. If I'm not in the wrong, then so be it. If the 'counter guy' is wrong, then the manager should get him up to speed PDQ.

There are plenty of shops and stores that I have forgotten even existed thanks to their owners, employees, or regulars attitudes towards me. It's no skin off my back to take my business/money elsewhere. Or to go online and leave nasty reviews for them before I forget about them. Honestly you probably did the right thing, escalating the situation with a kid and gun on board could end in nasty ammo for the "other side". But I think I would have had a hard time not talking shite to some guy who wanted to start crap while not even looking me in the eye.
