Hey I just want to clarify a few things about my earlier post. First of all, I think that the sales manager in field and stream handled the whole situation very professionally. It is alarming that he didn't know the law about open carry, but he is a good man and was much more professional and courteous than many are about open carry. To his credit he immediately looked it up, and now understands the legality of open carry, Hopefully the other employee present at the confrontation has also looked up the law and has gotten over his misconception. He was also true to his word and has been talking to corporate about the whole situation, I know this because he told me. He also called both Cabellas and Sportsmans to find out there policy. Cabellas has a true to word open carry policy, but sportsmans said that they require the gun to be unloaded and a trigger lock to be installed. What is that all about? We had an interesting discussion this morning where I learned that he has in fact been reading this discussion. I didn't communicate this to him this morning but, I hope he joins the forum so as to be able to communicate his views and perhaps keep us updated on any policy changes at Joes. Just so everyone knows, although Joes may loose a lot of business from the current policy, the employees were friendly and weren't malevolent towards Saint or his friends at all. BTW when I said manager, I meant, STORE manger, the man that Saint talked to was a sales manager in charge of field and stream. Hope that clears a few things up.
