Dryer quit last night, so my wife and I went to the coin laundry. There were two people plus the attendant, no one said anything and about 15 minutes later the other people left.
Now that it's just my wife and me, the attendant calls me over:
Attendant: Do you have a permit for that?
Me: Nope, don't need one to open carry, only if you conceal it. It's still mostly a free country.
A: You can't be in here, what if someone trys to take it and shoots us?
M: That never happens, are you telling me to leave?
A: Yes, I'm not comfortable with you in here.
So I stood outside on the sidewalk while my wife was inside.(clothes were in the dryer at this point)
Little later he came out.
A: It's illegal to carry that without a permit.
M: No it's not, can you tell me the actual company name?
A: Why?
M: I want to email the corporate office and find out if it's their policy or just your policy.
A: It's my policy but I'm in charge so I say you can't be in here.
M: I am not arguing that I am just trying to find out where this comes from.
A: You can't be in here.
Then he mumbled something about permits and walked back into the laundry.
So I figured I could google the company and find out. 5 minutes later he comes back.
A:I'm not trying to be a @$%*head, I tried to call my supervisor, but she's not answering. You can go back in if you want.
M: OK, I'm not trying to cause a problem.
So I went in and he wanted to talk about problems with other people not listening and bringing dogs in, I said my gun will cause less problems than a dog. He asked why I didn't get a permit, so I told him I don't believe in asking permission, so I open carry.
All in all, minor inconvenience, I will be going back a few more times until the dryer gets fixed, we'll see how it goes.
