Today I was open carrying at Longs Drugs. An employee approached me and asked me if I had a permit. I explained that a permit was only needed to carry concealed, and that in Nevada you could carry without one so long as it was not concealed. He then told me that no one in there store was allowed to carry a gun, and told me I had to leave.
When i got home, I went to the Longs Drugs website and left them this comment:

To Whom it may concern:
I was recently shopping at the Reno Nevada Longs Drugs at 900 E Plumb Ln, and I was told that I could not carry my gun at Longs Drugs. Is this your policy at Longs Drugs?
If this is your policy, I will no longer shop at any Longs Drugs store because I value my right to self-defense of myself and my family and will not disarm to enter your store. If it is your policy, I strongly hope that you will consider changing your policy. Not only will it allow people who carry guns to patronize your store, but in my opinion your current policy makes the store less safe for all of the customers and employees by prohibiting people from possessing firearms in your store. If criminals knew that everyone in the store was always unarmed, wouldn't they consider it an easy target? Someone intent on comitting violent crimes is not going to be deterred by the policy nor by any signs.
Thank you for taking the time to read my comment,
