Stone River Liquors/Total Beverage

**ffr1910** · 12-18-2007, 05:27 PM

Went there yesterday open carrying to get some stuff for the holidays. Look as I go in to make sure it is not posted and saw nothing. AFTER I pay (of course) the clerk raises up a piece of paper on a bulleting board to expose a sign that said something to the effect of, "it is illegal to carry weapons where alcohol is sold". I told him that was not the law, after he said it was. I then asked him that since it was not the law, was it their store policy. He said he would just feel more comfortable if I did not have a gun. Without getting into a full on education session, I advised him that my safety was my paramount concern and I would not return. I realize if I had not been OCing this would not have come up. Just wanted to pass along in case anyone else might be headed there. Happy Holidays,

Bill

I've noticed many liquor stores are not up to date on the state's carry laws.

How in the world are you or anyone else supposed to see a hidden sign, even if the wording was correct. I am assuming he went ahead and made the sale to you.

I am in a lot of liquor stores in the course of a normal week. I rarely see signs saying no guns are allowed. Of course a lot of them I am using a back door so the bans would not apply to me if I was carrying.

Concealed means concealed means concealed means concealed. Life is so much simpler when you don't have to educate dumb asses!

Preach it brother Tungsten. You'll find out I'm carrying when I start poking holes in you for threatening my or my family/friends life.

When someone makes a post about a certain situation and mentions they were carrying openly, does it ALWAYS have to start the OC vs CC debate?

When the whole reason they are posting the event is because it happened due to the fact that they were carrying openly, of course it's going to start that discussion again.

To me the fact that the store owner doesn't know the law and is anti-carry in his store is more important to me.
