Smiley Automotive

[troy bilt]

I have to get my Jeep clay bared to remove the rail dust. So I stopped into Smily Automotive in Norwalk. I was open carrying as I alway do. As soon as I got in the door a salesman started shaking his hands side to side a said I don't think your aloud to Conceal Carry in here.

I just simply told him that was fine and that I'll take my money else where and turned back toward the door. He says well I don't know if you can or can't do you mind if I check with the boss. I told him that would be fine and I waited out in the parking lot for a minute till he came back out apologizing to me.


This is the first time I have had a issue like this in the 3 years now that I have been OCing. I remembered what I have learned here and did not mention that there was no sign on the door because I did not want to remind them that they could post a sign. I stayed calm and courteous and reminded him that I had money to spend and that I was willing to spend if somewhere else.

Well, you could have said, that's fine, I'm open carrying, not concealed....

Well, you could have said, that's fine, I'm open carrying, not concealed....

You still have faith that someone like this would understand the difference?

Yes, I opened carry in a place that had a big sign outside on the wall stating no concealed carry allowed. The clerk asked what gun it was and then where I get ammo for it since she couldn't find .380 ammo. That may have been the last time I was there and I think they took the big obnoxious sign down.

I got some gas there ONLY because of that big obnoxious sign so I could open carry. (in their face!)

A friendly word to the boss about the salesman's "mistake" might prevent future such "mistakes"........
