OC Encounter at Acme supermarket
One of my roomates and I went to pick up a few things for dinner at the Acme in Manayunk'/ Roxborough. I was OCing my G23 in my SERPA as usual.While shopping I noticed an employee following me at times but he said nothing. As we made our way to the self checkout he was really staring at me.. I walked past him because I forgot to get some whipped cream and the following conversation happened:
Manager: Excuse me sir would you mind concealing your firearm. Some of the customers are getting scared.
Me: I don't see anyone who looks frightened. I'm just about to checkout and leave anyway.
Manager: Well can you please cover it up, there are many families here. Unless you're law enforcement in which case I understand.
Me: Are you asking me to leave or can I continue shopping
Manager: No you don't have to lea......
Me: okay we'll I'll go get my whipped cream and be on my way... ( I walk away)
I didn't see it but my roomate did.She said he shook his head in disgust and said "Damn Kid". He then instructed another Employee to "watch me". I walked passed him again, paid for my items and left the store.

I'm surprised he didn't ask you if you were going to use the whipped cream the correct way also. Damn kids!!!

Tell them to pretend you are a cop. ” If you are a police officer then of course I understand”. So, it magically becomes less scary, a guy in street clothes with a gun? I hate people. I wish all you guys were surrounded by the folks in my area. I barely get a second glance, usually amuse smiles.

Try this next time if they ask if you're a cop: "Everyone in my Department was advised to answer no to that question , for safety reasons".

Either that or he is just a wuss.
By the way,,,, where were Willy Coyote and the Road-Runner while all this was happening??

Re: OC Encounter at Acme supermarket
I am sorry thT the manager followed you, stared at you and was something of a jerk but I think that your attitude and response is worse. By your own words, he asked you to conceal and you refused to do as asked by the manager of a retail store. IMO at that point you were breaking the law and giving OC a bad name.
We may not like the narrow minded people but he has all of the power in the situation that you described. Once they say leave or to conceal that is it -- period. Your failure to comply is a BIG problem.
