My wife and I left our familiar territory on the peninsula, and we ventured over to Redmond Town Center to attend a birthday party for one of my granddaughters. I knew I was in unfriendly territory as soon as I got out of my truck when some guy yelled across the parking lot, “Hey, your gun is showing.” I replied with a friendly, “Thank you!”, and we continued on our way.
We arrived about 30 minutes early, so we went into Starbucks to grab a quick cup. After we were seated for five minutes, a young employee approached us and said, “Sir I need to tell you that we have a no guns policy in our store.”
I replied, “Actually, you are mistaken. Starbucks has a corporate policy that they will follow state law, but if you are asking me to leave, I will be glad to do so.”
She said, “No, no. I’ll go check. Enjoy your coffee.”
We stayed anther fifteen minutes and finished our drinks before departing. She never returned.
I have never had as many stares as I had today. Amazing! Is Redmond in a different state? I don’t think I crossed any state lines.
