In the many times I have shopped here I have been approached only by a few employees that welcome the idea with open arms or never seamed to be bothered by open carrying .I had one guy ask me if that was legal and another worker told him as long as it stays where it is..haha nice guys to be honest. Well I made this post because today I just handed out my last and personal pamphlet(hope I spelled that correctly ;)) To a worker that came up nicely and simply asked me if I had a cpl and I said yes of course, and he said "you may wanna cover that", I finished with the good ole' "why". Keeping in mind this guy was not anal at all. He continue by telling me he has a cpl and he was under the impression I could get in trouble. Handed the flyer, he said thank you, shook my hand, and we left. Very respectable. It does, or at least to me feel pretty good knowing you are truly welcome places. Much better than the crap that happened to me at Safeway....

Anyways I do not have access to a printer at this time, can anyone send me a few or at least 1 flyer? I will pm my address need be or whatever. Would be a big help. Thanks.

I've OC'd at my local Safeway without incident since October last year. Weird.

PM me and I'll see what I can do about getting you some pamphlets.

It's good to see you didnt cop an attitude with him. Some people are just misinformed and think they are being helpful,and not trying to be asshats.

Nah, even with assholes I tend to be fairly mellow. People, even officers seem to just not know. Even hotheads that give me shit...doesn't mean spit. I am going to carry regardless and no one will stop me from doing so hehehe. I will gladly leave and never come back though.

Hey Metal,
I live down at the other end of 128th by Cathcart. If you would like to pm me maybe we can meet and I'll give you a few.
BTW, I just OC'd at the Albertsons, Marysville store a few days ago and had a pleasant non-eventful trip.
