Rattled and shaken after seeing open carry in a grocery store

305. I'll tell you a little story of the only time I've really seen a handgun up close...

For a while, I went to this 24 hour diner, off and on, for a couple of years, got to know the owner a little bit, got to know the employees, etc. No biggie.

Anyways, so I was in there, sitting at the counter when the owner came in to relieve one of his employees, so he goes behind the counter and removes his jacket and there, in a shoulder holster, is a handgun. It was, I thought, a weird holster, the gun was upside down and strapped around his shoulder to his back. He turned to help another customer, and here I was, eating a burger and staring down the barrel of a handgun, I didn't know holster were open in the front. To say I was intimidated was understating it, all I was thinking was "Please don't go off, please don't go off." Just repeating that in my head. I actually had the courage to ask him about it, and he said that he always carries it. I knew he had a small flyer/plaque thing about 2a rights, but I didn't think anything further about it.

I still went back after that, he seems like an ok guy, but one night I came in, and he apparently covered 3 shifts in a row because he didn't want to close the business and was barely cognizant. Knowing he was mostly likely armed, I thought it best to go elsewhere.
