Greentop could move to the Gander Mountain building once they close the store.

There's no reason for Bass Pro to exist either?

Set aside from some of their prices Bass Pro isn't too bad to have around. Been in there several times OC and CC they have been courteous every time. Not to mention it as well will keep the other stores in check price wise.

I Bass Pro could produce a shooting range to accommodate that I am there.....

My wife says the goat deals with 30/06, 45, and others good.Artillery she thinks not.

Biggest I have ever fired a M109 If I recall correct.

That one looks like trailerable FUN! I'd love to shoot one of those!!! The biggest I worked on was the 5" 38 in the Coast Guard. The 76mm cannon was the fastest shootin major caliber gun I worked on, though... it can shoot out to 9 miles and shoot 93 rounds in a minute. Not bad for 43 lb rounds. It was water cooled and was interested to work on. Made for a decent career. No regrets.

From what I was told, it was in the original plan but Hanover County "shot it down".

They (BP) were looking to hire RSO's and everything. It could have been sweet!

There is nothing from preventing them from going back now or at any point for that matter and asking for the necessary changes. They have already established themselves as a good neighbor.

Can only hope that is in their game plan for the future.

That would be nice, though I can just imagine the crowds to get in.

I was in there last night and talked with them about it. I said before, that has been the policy for many years.

The sign is the result of two negligent Discharges. There is a hole in the ceiling tile where the most recent one happened.

Apparently a customer with a .308, who wanted to trade it in, unloaded it into the ceiling.:lol:

The policy does NOT apply to anyone OC'ing or CC;ing, with or without a permit, as long as it stays in their holster.

The other issue is with customers pulling their gun out of their holster to see if it fits in one they are looking at.
I assume this is enforced on a one to one basis also since I bought a new holster several weeks ago and did just that, after unloading the gun. I had a sales person helping me and he suggested I try it.
