I've seen my ATF while I was at a local sports store,she was with what I'm going to assume her SO she mentioned after one of our sessions was over.I saw her,she saw me.I just smiled and winked at her (of course he wasn't looking at the time) and kept walking.
Always a good idea to NEVER actually approach them outside the hobby...

Trekker is right: if you run into one in public, then see her again & y'all might want to work up a cover, then do it. Or if it seems likely you WILL run into her, ditto. But randomly running into her @ Target? You don't know her, unless you're by yourself & she acknowledges you. Even then, SHE won't, b/c she has the smarts to know you might seem to be by yourself when you're there w/someone else in another dept. or in the bathroom. Play it SAFE. This business has rules: DO NOT OUT, or come even CLOSE to outing, someone else. It hurts the girls & it hurts the customers.
