Went with the girlfriend to First State Lanes. We read a review online that said there had been a shooting in the parking lot a few months ago, so I decided to carry.
When we arrived, there was a bouncer-type guy at the entrance. I walked right by him and he didn't say anything. We got our shoes and paid and was getting set up to bowl.
The bouncer then walked over and asked if I was LEO. I replied that I wasn't and then he went on the shpeil about private property blah blah. I informed him OC was legal and asked if I was being asked to leave. He mentioned that there was a group of "feds" down the lanes and there was nothing to worry about.
I walked back to the counter where the owner/operator was and we continued the discussion. The owner/operator was clearly OK with me carrying and kind of implied that even he'd feel safer, but the bouncer was adamant that's why he was there, that the "Feds" were there and that he'd keep an eye on my car while he was sitting at the entrance.
I ended up taking my sidearm to the car and locking it up, but I wasn't happy about it at all.
