I just stopped by the fairly large liquor store to pick up a bottle of wine for the weekend. Low and behold there is a big sign over the door now that says NO FIREARMS. So back to the car and into the Glove box goes the pistol. Back into the store I go. I ask the Lady at one of the registars about the sign, she refers me to the manager. This is a LARGE store with 7 registers and he is 3 down. " this man wants to know why we don't allow firearms in her she hollers"( I try to resist just sighing in frustration) The manager says "well the owner just wants it that way" "Its really just to post, if a criminal were to see it they wouldn't obey it, and undercover cops can carry in here"." There is a law that says so". I say, "yes there is a law that says you can post it, but its not required by the state" The whole time he is looking embarased, talking to his chest. There are also 8 other people listening since they chose to have this conversation over 3 lanes. My reply was, "so you are telling me that undercover cops and criminals can carry, but me, a former Army officer who has taken a State Concealed carry class and the state police issued me a liscence to carry a handgun, cannot? " Into his chest again, "yeah, but the law says we can put the sign up." "yes you may"I say as I turn to walk away. "Come back soon "the cashier said to me. My reply was no I think I'll go elsewhere where the owners trust me. I then drove home and now am about to write a letter to the owner. I can't understand some people sometimes.
