Very similar to my favorite "You don't have to tell people everything you know".

"I can see it."
"See what?"
"Your gun, sir. I can see it."
"Gun? I don't carry a gun. That's idiotic. Those things should be banned, and anyone who carries one is a redneck looking for trouble! I was just pointing out your sign before we came in, telling my wife here that at least we won't see any of those whack jobs in here!"

Walk away.......

The employee didn't deserve the truth so you should have told him what he sees is the bulge of a medical appliance and thank him for being rude enough to point it out!

If you don't want to risk being "trespassed out", say nothing. If you don't care about being thrown out (given notice), say you don't feel safe in gun free zones anymore.

My response is always that the place is dangerous due to company policies. If queried further I explain about easy, soft targets where the patrons are defenseless and that persons wanting to shoot a lot of people pick those first.

I tell people, "Sure, I'll answer any question you care to ask".

The answer may be "I don't know", or it may be "That's not your business", but I always give them an answer.

Over and over and over. Then I taught those same lessons to my son.
Sounds like a wise man. RIP good sir.
