Of all the places, a jewelry store. I imagine if they are getting robbed they would have a different view of an armed law enforcement officer entering their store.
We know if this had been some kind of incident involving a racial, religious or sexual minority, the store manager would have been fired by this morning and the company would have donated a huge amount to some activist groups as recompense. Wonder if anything happens, since they only insulted a law enforcement officer.
Kay Jewelers Store Refuses Service to Uniformed Deputy Because He Was Armed
A jewelry store in Statesville, North Carolina, would not allow an armed uniformed deputy to enter the store and pick up an engagement ring for his fiancée.
WBTV reported that the manager of the Kay Jewelers store told the deputy he could not come in with the gun on his hip. The deputy explained that he was on duty and was using his lunch break to pick up the ring.
Moreover, the deputy explained that he would be violating policy to go without his service sidearm while in uniform.
But the manager would not budge. Rather, he told the deputy to return at a time when he was not carrying a gun.
The deputy is part of the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office (ICSO), and that office used a Facebook post to explain its disappointment in the jewelry store’s handling of the situation. The ICSO noted the manager’s reaction to an armed law enforcement official was “very difficult…to comprehend, and [ISCO] earnestly
hope situations such as these are few and are diminishing.”
ICSO went on to thank other “citizens and businesses in our area who whole heartily support the men and women who wear the badge.”
