Rattled and shaken after seeing open carry in a grocery store
It's been a long time since I've been to DU, but I needed a place to talk about something that happened tonight when I was getting a few items to finish out our Christmas dinner.
My area recently got a new Walmart Neighborhood Market. I know many here aren't fans of Walmart as a whole for understandable reasons. I remained a shopper nonetheless.
That all changed as of a few minutes ago.
While I was shopping I passed by a gentleman in the store and happened to glance down. He had a handgun strapped to his belt. He was not a police officer. I know what those holsters look like and this had elastic bands. Not only that, the man was extremely overweight and he wasn't wearing anything to signify he was any part of law enforcement.
The further I got from him, the more upset I got. I brought my grandchildren to the store. I spoke with a young woman who said she was a manager. She shrugged off my concerns as if it was nothing. I decided to not finish the shopping and went to check out. The cashier saw how upset I was and I told her about it. She wanted to know what the man looked like because it upset her as well. As I was leaving, she spoke to another person who looked more like a manager than the young woman from before.
I got to my car and I was pretty near crying. I came home and called corporate about this only to find out they have practically zero policy when it comes to open carry. I was still pretty upset on the phone with the woman I spoke with. She said she was sending my concerns up to the higher ups which I doubt will do any good.
We're in the South and have been here for a while now. As conservative, rebel flag waving and Obama hating as they get around here, I've never seen anyone blatantly open carry like this before. My sister is like that and she has enough common sense not to do something like this.
I'm an Army veteran. I've been around guns for much of my life. My husband is a hunter. We have a hunting rifle in the house. I'm not a woman that rattles easy, but this shook me to my core and I'm still quite upset.
All I can think of is my grandchildren and all the shootings that are now so common. I just can't bring myself to take my grandchildren to any Walmart store knowing they allow this.
Anyway, I've been gone quite a while and I could use some hand-holding or something right now. This shook me more than I ever imagined it would.
Thanks

20. You are right to be upset
and if that was a cop with a proper holster. What you described sounds like a type I holster, which most law enforcement shies away from for very solid and good reasons. Guns are easy to lose in a fist to cuffs. And losing your gun might not be the best of ideas.
I would not go back either.
But then again, posts like yours remind me why, with warts and all, I like a state with better gun regulations.
Happy holidays, merry christmas, and have a good one.

I know what those holsters look like and this had elastic bands. Not only that, the man was extremely overweight and he wasn't wearing anything to signify he was any part of law enforcement (So? did he whip his gun out and start shooting? Bet not since you were able to post on this horrific act).
The further I got from him, the more upset I got. I brought my grandchildren to the store. I spoke with a young woman who said she was a manager. She shrugged off my concerns as if it was nothing.

As I was leaving, she spoke to another person who looked more like a manager than the young woman from before. (So, if I, as a private citizen, could go online and buy and official looking security uniform and wear that while wearing a gun, you'd be ok with that?)
I got to my car and I was pretty near crying (You special flower) I came home and called corporate about this only to find out they have practically zero policy when it comes to open carry (Maybe because they follow local gun laws?). I was still pretty upset on the phone with the woman I spoke with. She said she was sending my concerns up to the higher ups which I doubt will do any good.
We're in the South and have been here for a while now (Then move. I suggest the south side of chicago. It's a gun free mecca don'tchaknow). As conservative, rebel flag waving and Obama hating as they get around here, I've never seen anyone blatantly open carry like this before. My sister is like that and she has enough common sense not to do something like this. THEN MOVE. We don't need your liberal a*s down here. Go back where you came from. Delta is ready when you are.

Cool story. In Walmart? Check. Overweight pistol carrier? Check. Management did not care? Check. Army vet? Check. Been around firearms all her life? Check. Female. Check!
I doubt any of it was true.

57. People who pointedly open carry when there is no good reason to have their own
reasons. They are not scared--they are deliberately vein to intimidate other people. It is a swaggering, d**k swinging dominance display. Ironically, most people who have to display dominance this way do so because they don't *feel* dominant. They feel helpess and beat down by the modern world, its social and political changes, and its economy. That is also why Trump's bullying bluster appeals to them.

5. I would react the exact same way.
I would also make a point of telling whoever is in charge that it would be the last time my dollars were spent in their store because I feared for my safety. This happened at our local hardware store and the open carry guy made a stink when they invited him to leave. There's now a "no guns allowed" sign on the door. I really don't get it. Are artichokes and onions so threatening a person must go grocery shopping ready to open fire on any holiday-shopping grandma who makes a wrong move?
You should also tell them you don't want to be seen shopping with Jews.

19. This is my position, too
Drop a letter in the mail to the Wal-Mart, noting the time, date and every other detail you can remember of the incident. Explain that you have historically shopped at the store, but his incident has you so shaken that you're unlikely to shop there anymore, and that you'll tell your friends and relatives to think twice before going to that store.
You don't have to be judgmental, talk only about your own feelings and impressions, and be sure to hit the point that this is likely going to cost the store money (which is a language they are very fluent in).

18. I understand what you are saying and I feel for you.
I had a similar experience in a Kroger store. It was a gentleman who look like he was in his sixties and was open carrying a pistol in a holster attached to his belt. He stood there smiling at me when I noticed his gun. I sighed, shrugged, and left the store.
Why do people feel the need to open carry in all parts of our society? Your guy, is most likely, scared. All this stupid talk being passed around about how all certain people only want to kill us all is making people crazy. The guy I saw probably has good intentions, but I don't know that. I'm a member of a sexual minority that has had life and home threatened by anonymous cowards who are afraid of others not like they are!
Your granddaughters deserve more than to see a society so afraid of itself that it thinks it needs to carry arms to a grocery store!
Die, pedo.

31. Would concealed carry be better?
An Army Vet rattled and shaken by the sight of a holstered gun? Not sure I'm feeling this. You'd probably be more shocked by the number of people around you concealed carrying.
With that said, I'm am not at all sure about either the need or the wisdom of open carry. A responsible gun owner would avoid open carry like the plague. If something were to happen and a potentially violent situation occur putting lives at risk, nothing puts a target on you like an openly visible defensive weapon.
Open Carry people are doing it as a political statement. Carrying deadly weapons as a political statement ought to be a disqualifying attitude in and of itself. Choosing to carry defensive weapons is a responsibility and not to be undertaken either lightly or irresponsibly.

33. Concealed toters are just as bad, and the cowboy/hero bit is more likely to get
innocent people killed. Responsible/rational people don't need a gun strapped to their body to go to the store.
Grab your can of beans and disarm me, faggot.
pnwmom (66,474 posts)
48. She's rattled because she KNOWS that it's an aggressive STATEMENT to openly carry.
It's a way of saying "watch out" and "F U" at the same time.

32. You've encountered the typical American gun fancier, likely a white winger afraid of
anyone not like him. Plus, he enjoys intimidating people.
More complaints and derision will have a long-term impact.

People of good conscience need to exit from the demented culture of the gun hobbyists. Vote with your feet, since our politicians are craven cowards to the gun lobby.

58. Texas is getting open carry as of January 1st.
And I don't know what I'm going to do the first time I see somebody open carry in a store. Probably "Nope the **** out of there" which is internet speak for "voting with your feet".
Businesses can opt out and put up a sign not allowing guns. However, at this point I don't know what businesses are going to ban open carry and which ones aren't. The OP is very scared and I understand that reaction. OP has been in the Army. I have never been around guns and am not comfortable around them and don't know anything about shooting them. I have not been in the military.
Who needs to shoot you idiots when your own "vote with your feet" rules would leave you starving to death.

59. It is not just the south I have seen some fools here in Ohio with
open carry weapons. It is not against the law here so someone has to do it to show their manhood. There is
this guy that stops at the carry out to get coffee and he parades around with his gun just wanting someone to say something about it so he can give his 2 Amendment speech. I think he has the short mans
syndrome
So, go get him.

66. Unfortunately, that open carry prick elicited just the response he wanted from you.
Open carry has nothing to do with serious personal protection---training-based concealed carry covers that. What open carry is about is blatant public intimidation and a desire for armed altercation; profoundly sick thinking at work. You did exactly the right thing by getting the hell out of that guy's area, and you did the right thing by reporting the matter to business personnel. Sorry for the unfortunate incident, but it sounds like you did an admirable job of handling it.
Fleeing the area was the right thing to do?
How many who did not flee died that night?
Any estimates on the body count?

DUmb scrunt should have called 911 on the guy. That would have taught him to be such a meany and follow the law.
Seriously, I have never heard of a mass shooting occurring that starts out:
This guy was just walking around open and legally carrying his gun in a holster and suddenly he whipped it out and started shooting people.
Until that happens, these delicate little flowers need to move to states without open carry laws.

The nerve of some people, open carrying blatantly.
Blatantly open carry.
Man, these DUmmies are stupid.
For lurking primitives:
If somebody is carrying a gun openly, then that is open carry.
If the gun is kept concealed under the clothing, then that is concealed carry.

The sight of holstered weapon allegedly almost made s/he/it piss their pants, and I suspect s/he/it isn't the only DUmmy that would react this way.
Imagine s/he/its reaction to a weapon that wasn't holstered, probably defecate right there on the spot.

Just for the dummies... lots of people around here open carry. Not a one, zero, zilch, nada, have ever been charged with a crime of any kind. All races. However the obumbles sons seem to go to jail for illegally possessing a firearm, concealed at that, in fairly great numbers. Why is that, you might ask? Because they all have felony convictions!!!!
Does that make me a racist? So be it. Now you dummies with your bouncies can FOAD.

I've got a plan for all these wilting flowers to get over their fear of Americans exercising their rights. Any time they see someone open carrying, they just need to tell themselves it's a "Syrian widow" or "Orphan" and all their fears should melt away. King Putt has assured them there is nothing to fear from them.

Poor, poor DUmmy. Still shaken after seeing (gasp) an armed citizen.
The DUmmy would have fainted dead away last Saturday at Smallville's conservative coffee shop (we have two). No less than four openly carried handguns*, and at least two concealed. That's what you get when Kansas libertarians get together for coffee.
All was calm, however. None of our eeeeeevil guns leapt from their holsters and began a shooting rampage.

179. how do you know
what the intentions are? It is usually a misfit who would open carry inside a store and those are the ones most likely to start shooting people. How do you know they are not there to shoot their old girlfriend or ex-wife who works there? If someone confronts him - what is his temperament for dealing with that? Shoot the person?
Mass shootings are becoming normal and this belligerent behavior of open carry is a sign of a decline in social behavior.
My sister who was involved in a mass shooting in a mall told me she would drop everything and leave the store immediately if she saw a person wearing a weapon (other than law enforcement). Also, her first thought always is to protect the children who may be with her.
We are allowing a future of bullying with weapons to become normal and excuses paves the way.

A "misfit"? Is that a legal classification? A medical one? Tell us more about "misfits" and how we can spot them and neutralize them before they "start shooting people."
I think you'll find that people who enter an establishment to do harm either have their weapon concealed or they have it out and are using it. Element of surprise, you see.

You really had to be there. This woman was probably in her early to mid 20's. Her holster hung several inches below her really short cut-off jeans. Not sure what she was trying to say with the outfit, other than she looked like an idiot.
Have to admit, I laughed at the whole picture...from a respectable distance, of course. Wouldn't want to be one of those "stand your ground" victims.

Would your response be different if the man was Police Officer Johannes Mehserle, Officer Jason Porter, Officer Mark Slager, or Officer Darren Wilson? Or the dozen plus police officers needlessly killing family dogs (even a Chihuahua) during "no knock" drug raids on wrong addresses in the last few years.
My point is you seem to be okay with police officers carrying firearms, but there were massive protests surrounding the firearm-related deaths caused by each of the named police officers (sadly no one protests over dead pets).
If we are going to disarm people, we must start with government agents at all levels who are protected from being held accountable for irresponsible shootings by qualified immunity and the "thin blue line" mentality.

A history lesson for lurking DUmmies. Nathan Bedford Forrest was a DEMOCRAT who started the KKK to keep freed blacks down.

55. Another vet here, & you speak for me excellently. J'ever notice how the gunnutters are chickenhawks
Another vet here, and I've not noticed "gunnutters" being "chickenhawks", but I have noticed a lot of "tolerant democrats" wishing imprisonment or death upon anyone who is legally exercising their civil rights by the hands of the government.
"J'ever" stop to think about that, DUmbass? "J'ever" notice that?
Incidentally, ****, I'm honorably retired Navy and I open carry quite frequently. Care to give me that "chickenhawk" bullshit? Or is it just a mantra to make yourself "feel" better?
Their perfect poster boy is John WAYNE the draft dodger and actor of fantasy life.
Oy vey... Here, DUmbass, let me clue you in:
America's entry into World War II resulted in a deluge of support for the war effort from all sectors of society, and Hollywood was no exception. Wayne was exempted from service due to his age (34 at the time of Pearl Harbor) and family status, classified as 3-A (family deferment). He repeatedly wrote John Ford saying he wanted to enlist, on one occasion inquiring whether he could get into Ford's military unit, but consistently kept postponing it until after "he finished just one or two pictures".[4]:212 Wayne did not attempt to prevent his reclassification as 1-A (draft eligible), but Republic Studios was emphatically resistant to losing him; Herbert J. Yates, President of Republic, threatened Wayne with a lawsuit if he walked away from his contract,[4]:220 and Republic Pictures intervened in the Selective Service process, requesting Wayne's further deferment.[4]:213

Wow, that took all of two seconds to find. :whatever:
Why don't they go fight ISIS instead of patrolling J.C.Pennys with AK-47s?!1
In case you haven't been paying attention, ISIS is here and they're killing people in "safe" spaces. I would rather have 1 "gunnutter" than a room full of unarmed democrats any time Johnny Jihad shows up to collect on his martyrdom.
But, I don't expect a DUmmie to understand something as simple as "hard target" and "deterrence".

Why don't you practice dropping to your knees and frantically sucking cock, DUmbass, in the hopes it will keep you alive?
I'll stick with my personal survival plan- the triad of Willl, Skill, and Tools.
I'm not worried about ISIS. My attention is focused on criminals, gangbangers, Black Lies Matter social injustice warriors, and unhinged Democrats who self-medicate- any of whom may be found in cities and towns (just like Smallville) all across the country.

Gnads --->. "fist to cuffs" :rotf:
There's the "slap on the wrist", and then there's the "ass-forkin'". Somewhere in between lies the "fist to cuffs".

179. how do you know what the intentions are? It is usually a misfit who would open carry inside a store and those are the ones most likely to start shooting people.
Your logic:

Hey, don't make fun of Gnads. She's a journalist, reporter, editor, photographer and all around good writer. Axe her.

I've got a plan for all these wilting flowers to get over their fear of Americans exercising their rights. Any time they see someone open carrying, they just need to tell themselves it's a "Syrian widow" or "Orphan" and all their fears should melt away. King Putt has assured them there is nothing to fear from them.
Better yet: They need to tell themselves that the person carrying identifies as a "Syrian widow" or "Orphan".
rachel dolezal tested, democrat approved.

I'm an Army veteran. I've been around guns for much of my life. My husband is a hunter. We have a hunting rifle in the house. I'm not a woman that rattles easy, but this shook me to my core and I'm still quite upset.
Really? You were in the Army? Let me guess, your MOS was MI, or commo, or supply. DEFINITELY not anything resembling combat arms. My GOD you are a @#$%&, probably ELS'd for your "feelings" being hurt one time too many, or you got pregnant to get out of a deployment.
Long story short, the only army I think you may have been in would be this one:

And even THAT is a stretch.
