I stopped at the gateway shopping plaza that's off of Route 8 and Salisbury rd in Dover. I ran into Food Lion to get some soda for my brother and saw someone else open carrying. Maybe a member?
Anyway, I then proceeded to go to the Liquor Depot which is between the Goodwill and A&W/KFC. I was picking out a bottle when I was approached by someone who I assume was a manager or owner. He immediately asked me if I was law enforcement to which I replied no.
He told me that it's illegal for me to be carrying and I told him that was incorrect. The next two minutes went about like this:
Him: It's illegal to carry a gun
Me: that's incorrect, DE is an open carry state.
Him: No. You can't have that in a place that sells alcohol
Me: that's incorrect
Him: No, I'm right I know what I'm talking about.
Me: I'm afraid you're wrong
(all the while we're making our ways to the door because he's already made it evident I'm not welcome)
Him: You can't carry in Dover
Me: I have a permit from Chief Hosfelt which allows me to carry in Dover
Him: I don't care, you're not welcome here.
Me: Fine, I'll spend my money somewhere else.
Him: Good
At that point I left and went across Route 8 to Mr. Bee's. This actually worked out in my favor as they're a bit cheaper and they had Elijah Craig which I'd been wanting to try for a while. Mr. Bee's staff was also friendly.
I'll never spend another red cent at Liquor Depot.
I already gave them poor reviews on foursquare and some other review sites. Here's their facebook https://www.facebook.com/LiquorDepotDover
