First OC experience

[A-STANK]

I went to the local gun store today shopping for a new 1911 (any suggestions?) I was facing an employee looking at a tauras and I hear from behind me
"That's a nice holster for that kel tec." I was carrying concealed in my back pocket but guess I was printing. I turned around and asked if he could see the holster. He said "yeah, I can see the whole gun too." I said, "well I should be okay for open carry." the owner of the shop said "do you have a carry permit?" which I do. he said "Once you have a carry permit your not allowed to open carry. The cops can revoke your carry permit and charge you with inciting a riot and terroristic threats." There were three other people in the store, one of which I thought would come to my aid, but they all said the same thing. This being my first real encounter with any problem I just kind of took it without knowing how to respond. It seems kind of dissapponting that the people who own these shops don't know what's really going on.

Please post the shop, they need some education.

Which shop were you at? Kinda sad that the people that are selling the firearms don't know the law but that just gives you the chance to educate them.

Why is it impossible for people, who are in a position to have their words taken as fact, to just shut the fuck up when they don't, in fact, know what the fuck they're talking about?

Please post the name of the place...

It was Federal Firearms on thoms run rd in presto. He also told me that even though it was a right AND a privelege, it still wasn't a good idea.

Well theres problem number two in his logic than . A RIGHT CANNOT ALSO be a "privledge "
Last time I checked , the document was titled the Bill of RIGHTS , not the Bill of Privledges
