(7,432 posts)Leave immediately, AND on the way out, find the store manager and state exactly why you are leaving the store and why you aren't buying anything. It's the store's loss of revenue and your own sense of security that's at stake. IMO, don't talk with the person carrying the gun. Get the hell away. That person has the immediate power to put an end to your life AND those around you. You don't need to ask that person for his/her rationale for carrying a gun openly in a store. A rationale doesn't interfere with a bullet entering into your body, triggered by a stranger with a lethal weapon. Just get as far away from that person as possible.
Anyone with an open weapon ought to be the ONLY person in the store. A common sense reaction would be for EVERY customer to evacuate the store ASAP. If you see a deadly weapon, get away now.
