I went to Keith's (store not the gun show) and I did what you did, I took the mag out of my glock, and cleared the chamber. I did open carry it into the store. The red head fat guy that works there, that moron made a comment about me open carrying. I told him I had a CHL and it is also unloaded. He tells me that I need an "OPEN CARRY" license. I told him about oregon laws and he told me I was wrong. I asked him why he believed that I needed an OPEN CARRY LICENSE and he said he was a cop and that he knows the laws.Am I just wrong in thinking that everybody feels they can carry a gun where ever they want? First of all, places that we go everyday and I mean businesses can set what ever demands they feel like. If you owned a business you have the right to choose to let people carry or not. All stores are private and have the right to set their own rules no matter what. What's wrong with obeying their wishes? Just think of the liability if something happened? I am all for support with carrying legally and also following the wishes of the business. Just like Keith's, I went and purchased 3 guns the other day and I always see the sign no loaded firearms so I take out my mag and go in. What's the big deal. If a place says no firearms I respect their wishes. It just seems like a lot of people feel like they can take a gun anywhere they choose or want with disreguard to the signs. I maybe the only one who feels this way but it is not our property and we don't have the right to carry anywhere we want but many seem to think so.
Again this is just my thoughts and I respect everybody's opinion but reality is businesses can make any rules they want just like no shoes, no shirt, no service. It that against the law? If someone doesn't like just don't go.

Next time (if I ever even go there) I will conceal carry and have one in the chamber with extra mags on me and I will go in to Keith's locked and loaded and they can kiss where the sun don't shine. But to be more realistic, I will probably not go there lol...... just saying. I do respect private places when it comes to NO GUNS but if they wanna talk out of their behind or treat me like a criminal when I am within my rights to be doing what i'm doing, they loose all the respect and also my business.
