Liqour store workers get robbed alot. I am surpised more dont carry, but I guess they might be concerned about it being taken off them.
I was surprised also when he said he did not have one. I assumed that he would have had one since he was working at a liquor store that stays open late.

My girlfriend, my Sig and I decided to get some food at Panda Chinese restaurant in Fox Run. Pretty good just one or two stares. I must say it seems like a lot of people on here go to the Fox Run shopping center. The workers there gotta be getting use to seeing people ocing there lol

Ok so had to make a few stops today to pick up a few things. First, needed gas so went to Wawa on rt 40. As i got up to the door entrance as girl in her early twenties looked at me then my firearm. She had a worried and unsure look upon her face. When I noticed that I gave her a nice smile and opened the door for her. Her worried and unsure look disappeared. Second, went to X ring to look at magazines for my Sig 9mm. I did not pick up anything because i was just getting a price range. Third, my stomach was telling "FEEEEED ME" so I happily went to Jake's to happily oblige my stomach. Got up to the register and the clerk says "Hey hey I remember you i havnt seen you in a while....I deff dont remember that (he points to my Sig) i laugh a little. Then he asks me what I am carrying I told him a Sig Saur SP2022. He then asked, "Can i see it?". I am assuming he wanted me to take my Sig out of the holster because i was OCing so when he said that I kinda got taken back. So I just smiled and said, "Maybe some other time." and placed my order ( got burgers there before but i wanted to try the chicken sandwich and WOW :o was it awesome!). I ate my sandwich my stomach was very pleased and went on my way back home. All in all a good day. However, what would any of you guys said to that guy at Jake's if he asked you to see your firearm?

If your comfortable that there is no threat, you can turn your strong side towards him while still holstered, keeping a distance of course. Politely refuse if he wants to have you remove it from the holster. Do not remove your firearm in public unless needed for self-defense.
