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

I think you did the right thing.
Armed society is a polite society (except that grumpy old customer at the Sportsman's ).

The last time I saw someone exposing what was supposed to be a concealed firearm I said "Thank you for carrying!". Kills two birds with one stone, let's the guy know I'm not a dick, and informs him he's showing

You screwed up, you knew it and handled it correctly, espeically with your kid around. He called you on it, handled it poorly so you have the moral high ground. The fact is you made us all look better because you probably could have pushed it in a place that most of the people in that crowd understood what happened and may have even backed you.... But you did not.

Don't sweat it too much, it sounds like a life lesson that will have you wearing a better shirt next time. That is the obvious point of CCW. Out at CRC if your CCW gets exposed you can get called on it and made to case your gun if exposed... And that is a respected gun range.

You actually won if you think about it.

And thanks for showing us gun owners for who we are.

Good on you OP for being the bigger man. I would've done the same.

Other customer was just being an asshole. Life goes on.

And thanks for showing us gun owners for who we are.

he did good. I'm curious if the "pussy" who complained was even a gun owner, or one of those for the kids types, out looking for a confrontation.

"Sir, I believe a whole bag of dicks should be on your menu."

Child safe FU...

I would've apologized to the employee for this "uncomfortable position" the dickface customer forced him into, then I would've looked at the moron and said, "Hey I have an idea. Why don't you play a nice game of hide and go fuck yourself." Then I would've clarified with management if CCW was an exception to their silly rule on my way out the door.

I was in Sam's Club on Thursday and a heavy set guy, in his 60's with his shirt tucked in and no jacket, walks in with a 1911 on his belt. He came in with his wife, no badges or any other LEO markings. I noticed a lot of people looking and he kept looking around to see if anyone was going to say anything. He spent 10 minutes by the front door cleaning off his cart with the free wipes. The first thing I always think when I see a guy with a 1911 is I want to ask; what brand? what holster? what sights? what barrel length? blue or stainless? what grips? any special work done? But, I was waiting in line at customer service and he disappeared into the store.

[<MADDOG>]

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.
