Wisconsin store owner says no to CCW but ok to Open carry?

[GlockedandLoaded]

This is so bazar, he'll compromise on open carry but not concealed?

A Wisconsin jewelry store owner is under fire from customers for opting out of the state’s recently-passed concealed carry law.
Bret Eulberg, owner of Robert Haack Diamonds in Greenfield, Wis., says he has been getting angry messages threatening a boycott of the store. The new law allows residents to carry concealed firearms in public, but business owners still have a say whether or not they want to observe the law in their stores.
"We're getting phone calls saying we're not going to come to your store supporting you because you're against gun rights,” Eulberg told Fox6Now.com. “We're not against gun rights. My contention is if a bad guy is in my store and you're a good Samaritan in my store and you see the bad guy whipping out the gun, we already have security procedures in place to protect ourselves."
Eulberg added that he didn’t want firearms in a store where customers can negotiate the prices of jewelry.
To reach customers on both sides of the law, Eulberg told Fox6Now.com he’s considering allowing open carry during half of his business hours.

cheese head for sure!

Hmmm, I wonder if "we already have security procedures in place to protect ourselves." means there is a procedure to ensure his customers don't leave with more orifices than they entered with.

so he thinks it would be a better atmosphere to negotiate the price of jewelry while looking at a costumers loaded gun on their hip?
ok ill do that. another example of flawed logic.

This is the reason why one particular Kansas and Oklahoma CU does not allow carry in premises. They are afraid that in the event of a robbery, someone will try to be a hero, pull out a gun and start shooting. I think it's bull but that is the way that they think.

I have a question. If he already has security procedures in place, does that mean when I'm pistol whipped and cleaned out of everything on my person his insurance will pay for my medical bills and replace my cell phone and money that I lose?

Just asking. It is his right not to allow CCW's in his store. But usually bad guys don't follow the rules.

...I agree with Spamby, especially on the part about his insurance paying for my medical bills and "...bad guys don't follow the rules." part. What a moron (store owner not spamby)

And a robber intent on taking that store down will shoot somebody with a pistol on their belt first as preemptive measure.

Real bright that store owner is...

Gotta scroll down about half way to get to the actual story. The tactical debate about OC vs CC could go on forever.
