Was this acceptable in your opinion?

From where I'm sitting after reading the OP's story, I'm thinking the employee is a Maroon. If the guy would have wanted his opinion on open carry he would have asked for it. The whole thing bothered him in a way that it wasn't a real big deal but he wanted to vent a little to like minded people. I need to vent once in a while and it's nice to be able to do so to get things off your mind. As someone else quoted: Lighten up. Jeez.
As far as open carry, no one asked for my opinion on it, so I wont burden anyone here with it, but I open carry only when I'm at the range or hunting. If I see someone open carrying, I give them a wide berth. Read into that what you will.

Safetyjoe out.

There once was a gent with a bent
Toward sharing his wonts on the net
So he logged on the web
And shared his advice
With a lad who found it quite nice.
And although his post
Was of the first rate
He had not a hair on his pate.
The lad liked the logic
And took after the gent
Who shall be known to all as "Bald Bob."
