So here's how this morning went. My family owns a retail tire company and we have been buying tires wholesale from Kauffman Tires for years and my dad worked there in the 80's. I go into this particular building either concealed or openly carrying once to ten times a week for the last 6 years or more. Well today i walk in and stand at the counter for approximately 6 or 7 minutes. After waiting the manager looks out of his office and see's me standing there. He walks out and makes a wincing face and goes "_____ Tire Right? You can't have that gun on the property. and i cannot help you as long as you have it inside here. I can help you if you go outside but that's it." I say shouldn't there be a sign on the door saying that i can't have a gun on the property. So i then say alright well let's go outside. He looks at me and says what? I again repeat Let's go outside if you cannot do business with me inside and he then calls security as he says i know who can handle this. You were already put on notice. At this i ask him when i was put on notice and for the remainder of the time until "security" came to take me outside the building. So when "security" get's there i ask what his guy was talking about when he says i had already been put on notice and he says we mailed everyone letter's saying they couldn't bring guns inside of a Kauffman tires location any longer. Which no one at my business has ever seen or heard of. I ask why there isn't a sign saying this and he says they don't have to do it. So then after about 10 minutes talking to the two men that came to escort me out they said as long as my gun stays in the truck there's no problem and they respect my right to carry but i am not allowed to carry on their property.... Anyways just wanted you to know you need to leave your gun in the car next time you go get tires put on at a Kauffman location.
