in some states, during the time I was a state trooper - you HAD to carry off duty - maintain your badge - and did so without any complaint from stores...
Liberals are setting up the foundation for social mayhem where law abiding citizens will follow the law for fear of prosecution - while the criminal will have free reign out on the public streets.
It’s what the liberals want - an excuse to seize freedoms and marshal in a police state. I see why the Hunger Games is so popular!
I carry concealed - and gamble when I walk in to store that have that policy - not being in LE anymore - but one has to be ready for the welfare zombies ready to launch a emotional outburst! Then again, those stores are where I limit my time in or just not go to anymore. Again, I think that plays in to the liberal agenda of crippling these economically strained stores and will push the “police state” agenda to come sooner than later...
Here in NJ it is difficult to get a concealed carry permit. I have no problem with this guy being stopped (it wouldn’t have happened if he was carrying his off-duty piece concealed). God forbid he abide by the rules his employers (us) have to live with...
Someone complained that it wasn't fair that these stores got “free” security when other stores didn't supply “free” meals, etc., had to pay for such attention.
If they do find out you’re carrying all they can ask you to do is leave. If you refuse, then they get you for trespassing, but until then you just say you didn’t see the sign and walk out.
At least that is how it works here in Indiana, where my wife works at a Big Box chain with that policy.
