Something similar happened to me at a Sportsman’s Warehouse years ago when I was going to look for some pants that would be comfortable while carrying.
I specifically asked them, “What about people licensed to carry concealed?”
They said it applies to everyone entering the store.
I pressed the issue with, “Are you telling me that to come into your store, I have to unholster and unload my gun in my vehicle, and check it with the magazine and ammunition at your front counter? Doesn’t this encourage a possible negligent discharge in your parking lot by forcing someone to handle their firearm unnecessarily twice -when arriving and leaving? Doesn’t this also leave me defenseless when walking to and from your store from my vehicle?”
They repeated their policy.
Haven’t been back since.
“What about people licensed to carry concealed?”
Stop spreading fake news
IN-STORE FIREARMS POLICY
For the safety of our patrons and staff, all un-holstered firearms entering Sportsman’s Warehouse must be cased, unloaded, and presented to Customer Service at the front of the store. If you plan on removing your firearm in the store, it must also be cased, unloaded, and presented to Customer Service at the front of the store. Thank you for your cooperation and patronage.
Where allowed by law, we do permit open and concealed carry of sidearms, provided the sidearms remain holstered.
