Today, after work I went to the Sprint store to get my phone fixed, cause androids are evil. Well I was OC and I walked up to the counter and started explaining my issues. Half way through the counter lady interrupts me and asks if I am a cop. I told her no, but I'm a correctional officer hoping that'd end that conversation. She let me continue and she asks me to have a seat.
Two minutes later I hear her speaking spanish (she is hispanic) to her boss. I guess she thought I wouldn't be listening, but police and corrections sounds pretty darn similar in spanish and english. It was obvious she was asking if it was okay if I had a gun. Then her boss immediately half way yells, "Who has a gun?" And I got an accusing finger pointed at me.
I was told that they didn't allow anyone but uniformed police to carry in the store. Politely, I stated NC law says if the store isn't posted I can carry it in, but if you ask me to put in the car I have too. I politely complied and they said thank you.
Well when I went back to pick up my phone I switched to my CCW holster. I was going to do that in the first place cause I absolutely needed their service and didn't want to get in to a debate about gun rights, but the pistol I was carrying I only have a serpa holster for it. My crossbreed is for an sr9c (which I sold to my dad), but it works with my 1911. I decided to go with secure holster instead of concealed and less secure. Oh well, guess they made me switch that on my return trip.
I was extremely disappointed with this particular Sprint store. I just moved to this town a few months ago, and the Sprint in my old town had no problem with me OC.
When they told me I would be getting a survey I just smiled and said thank you.
