Open carry issue
I open carry my firearm everywhere I I go, and I make sure I look up store policy before I go into that place on business. On August 3 I was stopped by a police officer on duty at my local shop n' save, (where I shop all the time and my girlfriend works there aswell) never had a problem until that day he told me that the store did not allow firearms in the building and to cover it up with my shirt.( without even asking for my concealed permit) I told him no that I been here before and I never heard of such rule, he then told me if i go in he would arrest me. So I did the right thing and had the manager come out to tell the cop that it was ok and he did. The cop said i could go in, we agued alittle more, he told me that he didnt want to talk to me no more so i said fuck you and walked away. He then said i was using profanity in public and he could right me a DC so he asked for my license and wrote down my info. Then gave my i.d back (with no DC) and leaned into me and said i was a fucking asshole! fast forward to today, my girlfriend that works there told me they said they don't want me there with it open carrying. But I can have it covered up, is this legal or shouldn't they have to put the ban on the weapon completely?? Or at least have a sign saying no firearms?

Their store. Their rules. Nothing illegal about it. The choice is yours. Cover up or shop somewhere. Another uninformed asshole cop. There are a few around. Gives the rest a bad name.
Welcome.

You were a jerk to the cop and now you're surprised this happened?

Re: Open carry issue
Sounds to me like the cop couldn't bully the OP so he went in and fed a line to the store owner. Probably about how he is breaking the law by allowing it or that he would be liable if something happened or that the cop would no longer respond. I would ask the manager what changed their mind, did the cop persist in saying something?
I would report the cop to his precinct / chief. He was wrong about the concealment, he lied about the store not wanting open carry, he lied about Disorderly Conduct. You can tell someone to fuck-off in public if that is how you feel. DC requires creating a disturbance without reason only to threaten or actually use force.
IANAL.It is you. You have all the weapons that you need. Now fight. --Sucker Punch

Re: Open carry issue
How should I have handled it streaker69? By letting him step all over my rights and listen to him? Or when when the manager told him I could go in he asked the manager again, "ok so just so we are clear your just going to let anyone in here with a open firearm?" Manager said yes and the officer looked at me and said ok you may go in now, like it was with his permissions to let me in. Also with no i am sorry for holding you up with a policy i knew nothing about!
