CCW and Bass Pro

[GunsAmerica Fan]

It is difficult to deal with guns coming in the door from people to trade or sell, regardless of whether that bass pro even does take guns in. They pull it out at the counter and point it at you and say hey can you buy this, and there is a round in the chamber.

Unfortunately, in floriday, all a business owner has to do is post any sign saying no guns and your permit doesn't apply. I can't say I leave my gun in the car there like I do for the post office though lol. I have yet to hear of a case of anyone getting trouble for carrying where there is a sign. It's not like statutory places like bars and what not.

Much ado....

About nothing. Also, this is brought up all the time... search...

I might even go so far as to suppose that the sign is intentionally ambiguos. This is a case where they want legally concealed carrying customers to "read between the lines", and to customers that are biased against firearms, it looks as if they don't allow firearms. I know it's a bit of a stretch, but possible.

Still 2 Many Choices!?

Much ado about nothing ... unless it offends you, at which case it's much ado about something you believe strongly in and can do something about. One of the locally owned shops in the area has a similar sign posted on the front door. I asked the owner about the last time I was in the place: "Is this for all customers? Does it exempt concealed carry license holders? What are your thoughts?" His thoughts were that the sign was meant for anyone and everyone who entered the store. Again, it's the last time I visited the place.

"The notice applies to guns that will be handled in the store, e.g., bringing one in for sale, trade or repair, trying your CCW for holster fit, etc. They naturally want it to be confirmed unloaded and not confused with one they have in inventory. It is not meant to apply to lawful CCW as long as your carry gun(s) remain holstered, but it should be clearer."


Gander Mountain is same way. They got all bent out of shape when I brought in a FR-8 to trade in cause I didn't have an employee "escort" to the back of the store.
