That sign makes no sense and IS what probably lead to the misunderstanding. A sign that reads "All weapons must be holstered, cased or flagged while in the store" is more appropriate. I usually carry concealed and the first thing I do when walking into a gun store is transition to open carry. I want everyone to know who is armed. That sign means open carry is OK. It is OK to go from OC to CC while in the store. It is OK to CC but it is not OK to go from CC to OC while in the store. The sign stops no one from trying holsters that is OC'ing.
Agreed. I was thinking the same thing regarding the wording of the sign. When I first saw it, I even questioned myself whether OC was allowed, or if only CC was allowed simply due to the vagueness of it. Had I been approached on my first OC visit, I would have likely just complied, but since I had been there multiple times, and even purchased my last pistol a few weeks ago while OC, I felt the clerk was misguided.
