Re: Got 'told on' by a fellow shopper at the supermarket
The managers took the appropriate avenue. They are there to make sure all are satisfied customers, whether the customers like guns or not. What they did was a fare approach to make sure both parties are happy, although I doubt the snitches were happy that the managers only asked you to coverup.
They did their job, you were equally polite. Sometimes civility is uncommon, even on "our" side.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515

Re: Got 'told on' by a fellow shopper at the supermarket
That's how I see it now. The man continued talking with the managers after I covered up; presumably telling them how indignant (and perhaps scared) he is that I wasn't escorted out in cuffs.
I'm always as polite as the situation allows when Ocing. I represent all gun owners in America when I OC; and I act accordingly.

Re: Got 'told on' by a fellow shopper at the supermarket
There was a time when prissy white customers would tell managers that they were offended by the presence of Negroes, even when those Negroes were doing nothing illegal or wrong. And managers would politely ask the Negroes to leave, or sit out of sight.

Re: Got 'told on' by a fellow shopper at the supermarket
That's exactly the analogy raised in the car by my wife after the fact. (And, being a non-white myself, I could have made it an issue about this old white man picking out the minority who is doing nothing wrong, lawfully armed to protect self and those under the mantel of my protection. But I'm not like the left...I don't cry racism when none probably exists, in order to get special treatment).

Re: Got 'told on' by a fellow shopper at the supermarket
I respect that, but the stakes are too high to leave any tools in the toolbox. The "r-word" works on the sorts of people who complain about lawful guns, and the accusation might have made him a little gun-shy the next time he was tempted to whine about the law-abiding.
Raising the spectre of racism where none exists seems appropriate, where someone is crying about a dangerous gunman where none exists.Attorney Phil Kline, AKA gunlawyer001@gmail.com

Re: Got 'told on' by a fellow shopper at the supermarket
I understand that argument, and it can be effective. In different contexts, I have utilized it, but in a more sarcastic manner so as to demonstrate how fatuous the entire intersectional politics of the left are. Maybe if the situation were different (my wife and young kid were not with me), I might have tried it. But I would still feel like shit stooping to the level of utter pigs.

Re: Got 'told on' by a fellow shopper at the supermarket
Being polite to the managers is the right thing to do. Good job as usual. The managers now see you as a good guy and the whiny ass democrat as a whiny ass democrat that'll never be satisfied with anything or anyone. If either of them are fence sitter in their politics you have just won them over by being reasonable and polite as compared to the old sour puss who has to have his way.
