I hope you made it clear why/that they were losing your business at Gander Mountain.

Yes I did and had a $200 gift card to spend too. So it will be going to someone else in the family.

I wonder if they were just enforcing what they THINK is policy.
I OC at Gander with no problems.
Guns I'm buying stuff is cased though.

You need to get in touch with their corporate HQ because that is totally against their stated policy. They even have signs at the doors stating as much.

I carried in TJ Maxx (The cashier kept eyeing it), ZX guns and then Freedom Firearms.

Meijer and vitamin shoppe in greenwood. Lots of moms with little kids in Meijer and I was waiting for a "mommy he has a gun" but not one word.

 

[GONZO!!!]

For the record, I have OC in Gander...but honestly, when I do, I am dressed in dress slacks, shoes shirt and tie...sometimes suit jacket...look like a detective ( I assume) so they leave me alone...Plus, I am always outgoing and social and call everyone by name (I read thier name badges) ...

On to the topic...took my son and 1 year old grandaughter to IHOP this morning for breakfast...got to our seats, I remove my coat to show me OCing a 1911 Government in a Blackhawk Serpa....my side faced several people...when we got up to pay our bill, I was standing OCing in front of everyone. No gasps, no haters, no lovers. Nada, zip.

Like GONZO!!! I usually am business dressed (and I OC). Was in Meijer & took my coat off (got warm) exposing my Colt Commander. Walking down dairy aisle, I see a guy wearing a t-shirt (printing a full size handgun). I stop next to him, smiled & said, "I see you "printing", but mums the word". He turns red with embarrassment and says, "Yes, its a Glock .40 cal. I'm a police officer". I then extend my hand & thank him for his service to the community. He shakes my hand & says he doesn't like OC (reason he is CC). I ask why & he uses the "first to be targeted" argument against OC (as he nods toward my 1911).

We talked for several minutes about firearms & OC vs. CC. I asked if he could show me one case where OC caused someone to be a "target" by a BG. He said no. we politely agreed to disagree, but respected each others views. In all, respectful, polite, and a good conversation. I also invited him to join INGO.

I have emailed them and gave the name of the employee. Btw, I was dressed in slacks and a button up shirt.

 

[GONZO!!!]

I have stated this a couple of times before....

I would love to go into a place like Gander in business attire OCing. Be friendly. Call people by their names, etc.

Then leave...wait until later in the same day....

Come back dressed in baggy saggy jeans, oversized jersey with hoodie, hat turned to a 30 degree angle to one side, a bandana and a little bling....AND of course, OCing...approachthe same people you spoke with earlier that morning...

What would be the reaction?!

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Went to Howl at the Moon last night downtown. Only briefly OC'd as I left (what're they gonna do, kick me out?)

Bouncer did no patdowns

Is that MCL still open ? I used to go to the one on Pendleton Pike every day for lunch. Maybe I'll start going to 10th St.

P.S. - Also a HAM

I would keep the gift card and go back after they deal with the employee giving bad information.

Love friendly encounters like this. Fun meeting new people from carrying!
