Went in the other night, at Ridge/Marburg area local IHOP, Sunday Morning about 330 am, they now have a 'rent a cop' (no Offense to you guys that do security, just a little tounge in cheek) in there, now I have been in here a few times CC and never got noticed, but since there is no gunbuster sign posted I figured no problem. Ok before you roast me I was dressed in Black pants and black dress shirt an tie and decided to leave my shirt tucked in my pants and open carry as it's legal in ohio...looking almost like a security guy myself , oh wait did I mention I just came off a corporate security type GIG that night. Well little problem.... Got to the table friends were at the young security dude comes over asks if I am a LEO... I said No, he said guns aint allowed in here and asked if I would take an put my gun in the car, so no problem I immediatly did. lol. But I was nice and he was nice so I took an threw it back in the car... Finished my meal an went home. So here all these people that are walking around with baggy clothes and jackets and you could never know, but wow a guy who looks like he is legit...gets the sorry we don't want your legal and properly holstered sidearm here. lol
So moral of the story..........
A- CONCEALED MEANS CONCEALED (I should have covered up)
B- If a place has to have a armed private security guy standing around reading the paper maybe we should eat someplace else.
C- Maybe I need a to wear the Jacket with Security On it inside... as a cover garment.
D- Don't Do that Again!
additional note- for just this bbs.
I wanted to test the Open Carry rights, cause I felt I should have been not hassled, and been able to exercise my rights. they don't have a gb sign, but as soon as I was asked to remove I did, so I complied with the intent of the law, in ohio when asked you must or can be charged with something.
