What happens if I go to hobby lobby with a gun?

Think I'll go to hobby lobby with a gun openly displayed and tell anyone who will listen that it's my religion. And my right to openly carry a weapon. Just what the teahadists want, right? Except if I did it, there would be jail time in the near future because I'd be doing it as a smart assed protest.

What if the cops are called, and they end up shooting you? At least, that is what I would be concerned over.

Lots of trigger-happy cops out there these days.

-Does your state allow open carry

-do you meet your state's requirements to carry a firearm

If yes to both, likely nothing besides maybe a look or two would happen.
I believe HL does not restrict carrying firearms in their stores but if you tell people it is part of your religion, management may ask you to leave. At that point possession of a gun is a non-issue. Remaining on a property after being told to leave is trespassing.
