The food lion in North Chesterfield, Virginia does not care. I was there this morning and saw someone with a gun on their belt. I told the manager and he said that "I cannot dictate the law to a customer. If they have a permit and the right to carry then I cannot tell them to do otherwise." He did not even ask to see the gentleman's permit.

in public is rapidly becoming a glaring mark of stupidity and arrogance, and rightfully so.

The difference between an open carry nut and yet another mass shooting is one hasn't opened fire yet.

And there wasn't anything he could do.

Told him Food Lion website said Food Lion does not allow open carry.

He said it was probably an undercover police officer and thanked me for calling.

Waste of my time to call, I guess.

I honestly don't understand why most folk are ok with concealed guns and only outraged by open carry. Personally, I would always prefer to know when I am within range of a gun. I like to have the freedom to distance myself. I would be ok with concealed carriers if they all wore large yellow cones on their heads with a letter "G"

Guns in the public venue should be strictly regulated and controlled, and should only be allowed when transporting them to a range, or for hunting.

The tired argument that "only criminals will have guns," is rubbish as the police will still have guns, and that is as it should be. More guns equals more gun violence, and more opportunities for criminals to acquire guns.
