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?).
Has anybody else ran into this? Have you ever accepted their 'offer' to hold you gun and escort you while you shop? I like the store, but this is borderline BS; I understand why the policy is necessary (liability i'm sure: don't want a bunch of people handling guns, theft of accessories, etc) for the store, but I think I'll take my business eslewhere. The people at Blythes (where I bought my gun) are friendly and their prices aren't bad.
