well, Im new to the group and already have an incident to post. I was in the Camden walmart the other night at about 1700 hours when there are plenty of people. Open carrying in a serpa, plain as day(as required) Went through the store, bought what I needed and left without incident. The same night I went back with a friend of mine at about 2100 hrs so he could get a few things and was stopped by several management types. They asked if I was a police officer and I said no. They asked if I was military and replied yes, but not Security Forces or MP.
They then wanted to know if I had a permit in which i replied honestly and politely that no I didnt because DE law says you dont need one if you open carry. He began to raise his voice at me and told me it was against the law in which I replied, no, its not but thats ok. He told me I had to leave the store because I made customers uncomfortable.....
at 2100 at walmart there are no customers! If i Made customers uncomfortable it probably would have been during the after work rush for people to get ready for dinner....
LESSON: Walmart employees-slightly on the ignorant side.
But it is a company and they asked me to leave. So I did.
