I would act accordingly (consider any or all of the following: sneak off to call police, grab my pepper spray, hold it into their face and demand they leave immediately).

I absolutely DO NOT think carrying one into a public store, restaurant, meeting or elsewhere should be any different.

Does anyone honestly believe someone carrying a gas tank and matches--or a hand grenade-- would be allowed into a public venue? Wht the hell is the difference?!
