Had dinner tonight with my bride, BobR and his wife at the Cathy Inn on Division in Spokane, great meal, great conversation and most of all a warm welcome from the Cathy Inn staff nary a second look at the 1911s on our hips.

After Dinner we went to Best Buy to pick up a new dryer. On the way out the door the receipt checker checked off our receipt looked me straight in the eye and thanked me for carrying he then shook my hand and said have a good evening. Thats what I would call a positive OC encounter.

Yep, that was me. I meant it, to. I'd OC at work if they let me (darn corporate policies)!

You're the third person I've seen OC in the store. I always use an OC sighting in the store as an opportunity to educate my coworkers about our policies and the laws regarding OC. All of our Loss Prevention staff and our managers know that OC is legal and not against our policies (I made sure of that). A few of them think it's stupid, but I don't care; haters gonna hate. At least they know they aren't allowed to do anything about it.

Best Buy has publicly announced that their policy is to abide by state law in regards to OC (can't find the link, sorry). That means they are OC-friendly in states that allow it (like WA), so I hope to see more of you there!

That is music to my ears. Next time we are in the Spokane area we'll surely want to stop by your establishment. (don't hold your breath, we only go to Spokane every couple years, and then only for something special)
