Like one of the local owners told me, "It's to keep the insurance lawyers happy. If you're planning on carrying out what you carried in, I didn't see a thing."
It's a safety issue, not a political statement. A lot of gun handling takes place in a gun store, they just don't want loaded guns in the mix.
I see nothing wrong with naming the store; as a matter of fact, it saves those of us that won't go in the store the trouble of finding out after getting there.I agree with a lot of what was said here.
Please note, I did not name the shop nor is the shop's name visible in the picture. I agree in capitalism, vote with your wallet if you care to.
This is not meant to defame this shop in any way.
It may have to do with theft prevention. If you already have a gun in your pocket it might be tougher to tell if thats yours or theirs? IDK?
These comments are completely off. A firearm on a dealer's shelf is a federally regulated item. There is a specific procedure for recording the serial number of every gun that comes into their possession. They could no more mistake your personally owned gun for one of theirs than they could claim to own the car you drove there in. And a shoplifter could not possibly make a claim to own a gun that was still logged into the FFL's bound book.I don't see a problem. I bet it helps keep down the shop-lifting.
Cabela's has a policy that all guns coming in for sale or gunsmithing (or otherwise to be handled in the store) are to be checked in and cleared at the service counter. That makes sense as guns being handled in a crowded place do pose a liability that the store needs to address. A securely holstered personal defensive sidearm is completely different. It is not to be handled or touched in any way until/unless the moment of dire need. It poses no threat to the store or any other customer -- a holstered gun is a SAFE gun.When I go to Cabellas they have a policy where you have to check your gun at the door.
They have armed guards at Cabelas?Anyway In both places there where ppl there that where armed and ready.
, Well maybe not cabellas. I was thinking of the gun store there. miss typed that a lil.They have armed guards at Cabelas?
They are quite odd. The one on the left is hooked up to a motion senson so if you walk in/out it bangs on that drum.Those creepy looking dummy things would be enough to keep me away.
Anyway I just see this as a way for the owners of that property to keep an amount of controll over what happens on their premisses.
They arent the enemy here. If they didnt support the right to keep and bear arms, I doubt they would be issuing out ccw's.
Skinny 1950 said:Conceal Carry Permits are impossible for the average citizen to get,I don't have a problem with that. To own handguns in Canada you have to belong to a shooting club and have a permit to transport them to and from the range, again I can live with that.
Those creepy looking dummy things would be enough to keep me away.

or drawn on that thing when it started drumming
But, I see 3 bullet holes on the glass door. Maybe some ccw guy was pissed about the store policy.
