Bank, Wegmans, Barber, and a Walmart Update

**ungawa** · September 14th, 2009, 03:33 PM

Since my last two frontiers were the bank and the barber, I thought I would give some updates. Plus some Misc. stuff.

Barber

Last week I OC'd at the barber for the first time. I always covered there because it's a small shop with lots of old people and a crazy man. Well, not really crazy, he's actually rather ill but the drugs make him a little nutty. It's in a residential nieghborhood. I show up and the place is locked. Two neighbors start yelling at the guy's house, "Hey! Get down here. You got a customer!"

Then they notice I'm armed. "Whoah, he's got a gun." Then they yell up to the barber's house, "He's got a gun! He's got a gun!" echoing through the neighborhood. "You a cop?" Nope. "Hey, stick 'em up! I guess that wouldn't be a good idea, huh?"

Barber and crazy guy show up. I start getting a haircut and crazy guy asks a few gun questions then takes off. He seems like he's doing better today.

Bank

My branch closed. So first time at a new branch in Palmer. No issues.

Walmart Update

Never had a problem at any Walmart and I'm in at least one of them a few times a week. Closest I came was a greeter who asked what I was doing with that and asked to see my license before I went in. Well, today I met him for the second time, on the way out. He did not look happy with me but gave me a "Have a Nice Day." I told him he got a haircut and looked sharp, he did not respond.

Wegmans

I'm in Wegmans quite a bit, but no Walmart thread is complete without a Wegmans visit

Yes, I was there today and no problems. Also, I stopped by the notorious one in Bethlehem a week ago (the one a guy was escorted out of) to say hi to a forum member who works there

Good post. No issues is the best news I think that walmart has been set straight. I do not have any issues anymore since I was stopped once and the manager let me through. Although yesterday while I was buying ammo (Yes they had 1 box of 9mm and I had to buy it :P ) the guy behind the counter was asking me questions about my piece and joking saying he was jealous that he did not have his on him lol.
So it seems you and I chew up alot of the same dirt but aside from usmilitiaman and myself I never see another OCer what time you usually out in these areas?

80% middle of the day/15% early evening/5% late evening. I'm in Bath about once a week, too. Pick up coffee and gas at Sunoco, go to that grocery store for like 1 or two things, and stop by the beverage store.

You know, I'm not sure if he thought it was a funny idea or if he was actually concerned and it was a desperate cry for help veiled in a joke. Either way I was not amused.

This is rich. The gentleman at Walmart probably got the last laugh when I saw him yesterday. It turns out I left a bag of groceries on the carousel at the checkout counter. I can just picture the cashier yelling to the guy at the door, “Go get that guy! He left a bag!” And him responding, “Sure, let me go out and see if I can find him. Hehehe...”

Does he have any grounds to ask for your license? (Drivers License or LTCF?)

Just curious because you don't have to have the LTCF to carry openly.. nor a Drivers License for that matter.

He has every right to ask. Just like I have this right:
Do you have a LTCF? If so, could you please scan it and email a picture of it to me?

However, he is under no obligation to answer that question or comply. Just as I'm sure you won't in regards to my question.
