Well this was interesting. I was going to post this last week, but I got busy.
Every Thursday afternoon I go to Wal-Mart to check on bulk ammo. Last week I was stopped at the door by the greeter. Now I open carry every place I go and I have seen this same greeter and talked to her many times. I guess she just noticed that I carry a gun.
I walked by her and said hello, I grabbed a cart and headed into the store. I then here sir excuse me, sir you can’t be in here with a rifle on your hip. I stop and let her know that this is a pistol and that I come in here all the time with my pistol. She asked me to come back to the entrance while she called a manager to come over and talk to me.
I waited about 10 minutes while talking to a customer who asked me what type of gun I carry and what kind of holster I had. He had never seen one like that. While I was explaining to him how a Serpa works and why I only open carry in a retention holster. His wife yells, “Lets go you don’t need any more guns”.
At about that time the manager finally came over to the door and the greeter started rambling about how I have a rifle on my hip. The manager looked at me and at my XDM and said so what, he is allowed to carry a gun. She then went on to explain to the greeter that it is ok for anyone to come into the store with a gun as long as it is in a holster. I thanked both the greeter and the manager and continued to the gun counter and purchased my ammo.
