    Default Eager beaver encounter in Sam's Club

    So I went to the Willow Grove Sam's today. Not my first or even tenth time there OCing (you know, when you sign up for the membership you are allocating pretty much 75% of your grocery money ). Getting my cart and some cart pusher approaches me and says "I don't think we'll let you in with your firearm!"

    "The hell you will!" - was my first reaction (I soooo didnt' expect the encounter, and sorry for ruining it for everybody )

    "Ok," he said. He didn't seem confrontational whatsoever, so I decided not to leave it like that and told him, that his corporation recognizes states' firearm laws and since PA is an open carry state, his biggest bosses have no problem with me OCing in their store. He was VERY surprised on pretty much all counts. So we wished each other to have a good day and split.

    That's pretty much it. No gun jumped out of the holster and started killing babies, puppies and kittens.

    Seems you handled it very well by leaving the conversation on a positive note, just another know-it-all who doesn't really know all that much

    I've had conversations with few of their shift manager. None of them ever questioned my presence in the store. They were just naturally curious. Especially one guy in the wheelchair. I spent some time educating him on gun laws and obtaining LTCF, since it seems like the only viable self defence option to him.
