First, this has nothing to do with mcdonalds management, it was an encounter with another citizen. I Took my my daugter to lunch the other day at mcdonalds, I was OC'ing, as always...we finished up eating, and of course, my daughter wanted to play on the toys. So I took her out to play and was coaching her along an obstacle... an older gentlenan approached me (from a long sweeping angle so i could see him coming-not to my strong side either by the way) and said "some of the ladies are starting to look a little nervous, could you maybe throw your shirt over that?" I thought for a moment, then nodded and obliged him by covering up. I have that option since I do hold a current washington state CPL. My reason for switching to CC was simply because A.) I had the option legally and B.) The guy didn't say I was doing anything wrong and was VERY nice about it. As if, he knows that its legal, but was being....idk what the word is....maybe courteous of others. I mean, playland was packed and not everyone is educated as to their rights. Did I do the right thing based on circumstances? To avoid a possibe incident that would take away an officer from more important things just because some moms got scared that I had a firearm around a bunch of kids....I admit my decision was made somewhat based on feeling pressure from that thought. I just csnt see changing the activities i do with my daughter just because i excersize my 2nd ammendment right. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. playland almost completely cleared out in about 3-5 minutes.
