Misinformation at local shop

[tacticalreload]

Tall older gentlemen with white hair? I used to shop there a lot. They are generally very nice and the prices and selection are pretty good as well. Unfortunately when I went in there to buy an OWB holster for open carry the discussion came up and he explained to me how it is Illegal to open carry, and how I will be charged with brandishing and all this nonsense. I politely told him the law, he didn't believe it, and I haven't been back.

Nice since at least one of the people working there is a former cop and cops come in and out of there all the time.

Everyone knows Texas is still the wild west. People walk around with six shooters on each hip and a rifle over their shoulder. Right?

And drinking a beer while a passenger in a moving vehicle.

No...it wasn't the taller, older gentleman with white hair. He's waited on me before and is a nice guy. I am going to mail a pamphlet to them. I thought I would bring one in...but I don't want to get into an argument with anyone there...just not worth the hassle. I got a feeling that you just won't convince some people.

I don't really understand the angst at a gun dealer employee making a in correct statement on gun carry rules - sounds pretty typical to me. But to eduatce him, if you want, just open carry at that store everytuime you stop buy to by ammo or broase etc. Pamplets don't mean much - watching some guy OC does.

If they firmly believe that OC is illegal, watching someone do it will amount to the same thing as watching someone run a red light, they'll just keep on believing you're doing something illegal. Pair the pamphlets with the act and a conversation and cover all the bases as once.

Maybe we share the same brain even though we're on opposite ends of the Commonwealth.

Now THAT IS Scary!

I stopped by a local shop to see if they got anything new in and overheard the two gentleman working in the store explain to a guy buying a gun that you can only CC in Pennsylvania. One of the guys came over and asked if I wanted to look at anything and I simply asked, "I thought you could open carry in PA." He told me "No, that's only in Texas and maybe Arizona...you can only CC in PA--and must have a permit to do so."

I just said, "okay," and left the store without fighting the issue. Tempted to send the store one of the flyers.

Bad idea to alienate your customers.
