My son and I were at the Walmart in Ripley WV today, he was CC and I was not carrying. My son overheard a manager speaking on his radio as he walked by him saying, we have a gentleman who is CC at the bank ATM, that was my son. He showed the handle of his defence weapon as he pulled out his wallet. I have been followed by management while OC'ing in this store, he was followed today. We were talking about sending an e-mail to store management along this line.
We have noticed that while we are shoping in your store and legely carrying our self defence weapons that store management has followed us and reported our activity via your radio cummionications. We are excercing our 2nd ammendment right to keep and bear arms and do so in a law abiding manner. FBI statistics (and give reference to where this info comes from) indicate that most criminals do not use holster's, and do not carry thier self defence weapon in a lawful manner. We understand your responsibility to protect your cunsumers while shoping in your stores. however the people who are CC or OC typiclly are not the ones to be concerned with. We have been custormers since your store has opened in the old location, we are known by name by many of your employees, why since we started exercising our 2nd ammendment right in a lawful undisturbing manner have we became considered a threat while in your store.
Not the exact letter, but would like the thoughts of the ones who have been doing this much longer than myself as to weather you think this is advisable, and if so any thoughts on wording is welcomed.
