[QUOTE="soberups, post: 979268, member: 14668"] Or unless you are me. Granted, I [I]normally[/I] only carry one, but the last time I went to Costco I actually did stick my "car gun" in my back pocket because I had some lumber in the back of my minivan which required the rear door to be ajar. Didnt want to leave an unsecured weapon in an unlocked vehicle, so I took it with me. The [I]number[/I] of guns in this case is not relevant. The only thing that [I]is[/I] relevant...is Erik Scotts behavior when (a) asked by store personell to leave and (b) when confronted by police. I wasnt there and didnt see, so I dont know. Whether he is an innocent victim of overzealous store personell and police, or a gun brandishing psycho will be questions for the [I]jury [/I]to decide, based upon which witness statements they find to be more credible. I [I]do[/I] support the private-property rights of a store owner to ask an armed patron to leave, and I [I]do[/I] agree that when confronted by armed police one should immediately comply with orders given. The moral of this story for me is to make damn sure my concealed weapon [I]stays[/I] concealed when I am shopping at Costco. [/QUOTE]
