I have been proudly exercising my newly acquired right to open carry, and as such, I am VERY careful to extensively examine the front door, as well as any surrounding areas for signs that suggest that firearms are not allowed.
So, last Tuesday I was at a new store for me... I was picking up some whole wheat pie crusts, and organic items for my mother for thanksgiving. I won't say the name of the establishment, but they sell "whole foods".
I had been there for no less than 20 minutes, trying to find things that were (in my opinion) illogically located, and had interacted with 1 particular worker 4-5 times. I am scooping some oats (not a metaphor) and this is my final item to collect, when this same worker approaches me and informs me that "actually, we do not allow firearms here, even though Oklahoma..." I didn't cut him off, he trailed off. I kindly suggested that I had checked carefully and that there was nothing posted. "Ya, we are working on getting that posted, if you want, I can wait with your stuff, while you run to your car." I told him that this was my last item, and then I was going to check out. He said that that would be fine.
I feel like I handled the situation properly, and after some extensive reading of the law, there is something ambiguous about the "right of property owners"... Thoughts?
