If there's no sign outside, then how is anyone to know about a specific firearms policy?I agree wholeheartedly with all points you made above Dave. I'll never spend another dollar at any Best Buy again. I'm about sick of hearing about these anti-2d Amendment businesses harassing my fellow DELOC members around Delaware.
And to only allow LEO's or licensed individuals is discrimination. We don't need a license to OC. Period. I guess I should print some more cards out quoting the DE Constitution, and put "No gun = No $" on it somewhere.
You handled yourself professionally and without a scene. Kudos to you. I wouldn't have mentioned our group as a reason why you're carrying though. Had they been interested in our group, more discussion could have brought it up. I would have said "For self defense" or "because I can" or something as my reason. Nosy employees don't need detailed specifics. Maybe after his question, I would have asked a question: "Is there a policy against it?"
Now, let's boycott/blacklist that Best Buy forever. Well, after I have a "browsing" session there first....

Maybe after his question, I would have asked a question: "Is there a policy against it?"Sorry. Didn't think about playing it that way. It seemed like it was best to legitimize my OC for him, instead of go into a speech about the philosophy of self defense. IMO, the response, "Because I'm in this awesome civil-rights group that promotes lawful OC" is a little better than, "Because I can". My point is, I really believe if I had a DelOC business card to whip out (name, contact info, really official-looking), the situation would've played out quite differently.
