My complaint is that the guy encourages people to boycott COSTCO for some percieved insult and or violation they commited against him.

COSTCO does none of these thing IMHO and the guy comes off as an ass.

And no he doesn't acknowledge the fact that scaring a clerk who is only trying to do his friggin job is not funny.

He also doesn't explain how a supposedly concealed weapon made other shoppers uncomfortable (doesn't sound too concealed to me)

He also doesn't admit that they did NOT ask him to leave they asked his gun to. He pitifully attempts to make it about him when it's really about him flashing a friggin concealed weapon in a store.

What he does admit is:

(I have played out scenarios like this in my mind for several years, it was gratifying that he kept giving me all the right straight lines).

Why do I get the vision of Travis Bickle standing in front of a mirror mumbling over and over again "Are you talking to me" when I read this hmmm

No, he is encouraging them to boycott Costco for being anti-gun. You keep ignoring much of what this guy said as you weave your poorly-constructed strawman arguments here.

From the article:

It was cool outside, so I was wearing a heavy flannel shirt over my polo shirt and shoulder holster. I was carrying my usual Para-Ordnance P-14, with a stainless finish. As we came in I flashed the membership card to the greeter, and paused to take off my flannel shirt. We spent about 35 minutes in the store, going all the way through, down most of the aisles. No one said anything.

Now if someone can tell me where it's legal in Minnisota, a state that worked so hard to pass a CCW, to carry in the open, I would appreciate it.

Point out where he did that.

Probably because you were looking for something to be upset about.
