Here you go—similar to my experience:

“I went to Cabela’s this weekend to pick up some ammo and right when I walked in, an employee asked me if I was buying accessories for my gun (I was OCing, of course). I said no, and then he said that Cabela’s does not allow you to unholster in their store. If you want to try out different holsters, clips, etc., you give them your gun and they escort you while you shop. I told him I was just buying some ammo and that I wouldn’t unholster, and he said thanks and enjoy the store. Also, there are signs in the firearm section that states this policy that if you have a permit to carry, you cannot unholster (as opposed to not having a permit and unholstering?).”

I actually don’t find a request/rule not to unholster a loaded firearm (unless necessary for self-defense or the like) OK. That said, I would probably have messed with the employee a little. Would probably have asked, “So if some wacko is walking around the store shooting employees such as you and customers, I’d be breaking Cabela policy if I defended them and myself? Got it. Will leave the whacko alone.” And then might have stayed in the store to buy ammo. Well on second thought probably not...

That makes sense. I wouldn't want to work with Joe Public un-holstering a loaded firearm either.

Okay - that makes a lot of sense actually. Thanks!
