Did I say anywhere that I have some right to be in their store? It was ment as a conversation starter.

Its not about that I have any right to be in there store its the fact they are telling the public they think they have some legal right to even ask.

I guess they are willing to accept the liability of one of their employees walking up to someone illegally carrying and possibly get shot over it. Not something I would do.

It's their store. Therefore they have a legal right to ask and to kick your butt to the curb if you get belligerent about it. They have the legal right to confront anyone who enters their store and to ask them to leave if they are uncooperative.

Why is this so hard to understand? You want to enter my house with a gun on your hip? Show me your LTC or start staring down the barrel of my gun. It's MY property. Not yours.

I would strongly recommend that you not pull a gun on a visitor who is OC'ing at your home and refuses to show you their license. That is likely to end very, very badly for you. Probably best to just ask them to leave and then not invite them back.

That said, if you are talking about in-laws, then I can sympathize...

The only way it ends badly for me is if I miss, and I don't. Obviously you've made some assumptions about where my gun would be and what my state of readiness would be. That would be a bad mistake to make, on your part.

I wasn't questioning your gun fighting prowess. I am sure you are a highly lethal killer.

Bear with me as I walk through the scenario. You invite someone to your home. They show up wearing a weapon on their hip. You demand to see their CHL (this part seems odd to me,, why not just ask them to cover up if it bothers you). They refuse. You pull your (presumably CC'd) weapon and point it at them.

At this point, you are guilty of a fairly significant criminal offense. If you discharge your weapon and kill your guest, you are guilty of an even more significant offense. Either way, things are not going well for you once you pull your weapon. You can't legally pull a gun on someone just because they refuse to show you a license, even if they are on your property.

My recommendation - post a valid 30.07 notice on every door to your house if you are likely to react in this way.
