Title: Jackson Meijer
Post by: Theraven536 on October 06, 2015, 08:27:19 PM
I took my two sons with new tonight to the Meijer in Jackson tonight. OC my Ruger SR9, with my Blackhawk CQC paddle holster. I have my CPL.
Walking in the door the greeter stared at me in disbelief, but didn't say anything. I walked around getting a few items that I needed with out incident. I stopped in sporting goods looking for some 9mm JHP's, but there were none. I asked the women that was straightening up if they had any and she looked at me like I had three heads.

No incidents, no talks.

Was this the Airport Meijer or the one on Michigan? I regularly OC at the Airport Meijer, and there's one greeter (an older woman) who has treated me any differently for it. I only visit the old Meijer occasionally, but I've never had a problem there.

The one in Michigan. I'm new to the area (been here two months), and it's 5 minutes from my house.

I have OC'd at 4-5 Meijers in west Michigan without trouble.   Not even a second glance.

I've OC'd a couple times at the Meijer's on Airport Road without issues or, as far as I could tell, odd looks.

I've never had issues with employees while OCing at Meijer.

E. Michigan Ave - Jackson
Airport Rd - Jackson
Hull Rd - Mason
Cedar St - Lansing
Lake Lansing Rd - East Lansing
Grand River Ave - Okemos
Highland Rd - White Lake
Highland Rd - Waterford
Joslyn Rd - Auburn Hills
M-5 near Pontiac - Commerce?!?


Since you are new to Jackson, be sure to check out Schupbach's in downtown Jackson.  They'll have a wider ammo selection.  Good group of guys.  Friendly to OC.  (The only signage they have is a request to not un-holster a loaded firearm.  Perfectly reasonable IMO.) http://www.schupbachs.com/

I live in Lansing and don't venture to AA much at all.  I've heard good things about them, but haven't ever found myself near AA when I could stop in.

Not that eloquent, or funny.  Just 8 1/2 x 11 printed pieces of paper.

I went up there in the spring one year and people were not traveling by car but by snowmobile.  They could tell I was from the LP because I was in a car!
