I sent a message to Desert Industries Thrift Store on West Craig in North Las Vegas. I'll post the letter I sent below, not the best I admit. I have been through a lot in the past two weeks and it's hard to gather all of my thoughts right now so bear with me. If I missed anything please let me know and I'll include it in a response to the response lol.
To Whom it May Concern,
I regret to inform you that I will no longer be doing any business, or recommending any to, your businesses. In your location at 3750 West Craig, Las Vegas on the 5th of Feb 2014 I was kicked out of your store by a manager for carrying a firearm openly. He was polite, however he asked me that even if I had a CCW license I would have to leave it in my vehicle. Leaving it in my vehicle would be very irresponsible because it would be unsecured, being a potential threat to other peoples if my car was broken into on your property.
I am not sure if this represents your company on a whole, however I will be relating my experience at your location and your response to my message on Opencarry.org which is a group of individuals that are concerned with stores not supporting peoples rights, specifically the 2nd Amendment.
As a last note, your store at that location had never given me issues before, I had been in there multiple times open carrying without being told to disarm or leave. However, you have no signs posting saying that you do not allow firearms in your facility. I would be sad to see such an amazing thrift store to become another rights free zone.
Very Respectfully,
Me
