At the point where she told me that they do not allow firearms, even concealed... I told my wife that I would be in the truck waiting for her.
I don't think it would have been worth trying to "educate" her as I can only see that ending in a call to the police and me at the minimum getting a lecture and escorted out, or maybe some sort of charges for trespassing private property after being clearly told to leave. When your on someone elses property, I feel that they do have the right to ask that you evacuate. And based on that thought I feel that you should do so quickly and quietly.
I of course still OC and this is still the single one place that has asked me to leave. I did not like it or agree with it, but you know what.... tough cookies. I make a choice to carry in the way that I do, I deal with the outcome. I am not carrying open to see if I can start a legal battle or end up as front page news..... nor am I saying that most OC'ers are doing that.... but I think that if you feel that while you are on another's private property that you should stand your ground and try to force your will or opinion.... you just may be an asshole. Take it like aman, say your sorry for upsetting them and take your leave as politely as you can.
I think by showing Chris (The manager) that I was polite and not looking for a fight, she saw that just because I had a pistol did not make me a mean or confrontational person. Don't get me wrong, I was clear with her that I was unhappy with her choice, but I also conceeded with her desire to leave after a short and calm exchange.
