So me and a friend went to town today. Looking to buy some gun powder, primers, etc. - getting into reloading. I told him Bass Pro Shop is supposed to allow OC'ing now -h e stopped shopping their a while back due to their former policy. He was skeptical, but said we'd try them out - after we went to Academy Sports first.
So we head over to Academy Sports in Bossier City, both OC'ing. The greeter lady stopped us right off the bat and asked what area of the store we planned on shopping in. (None of her business amirite?) My friend answered "oh all over, just looking around". She said unless we were heading straight to the gun-counter (in the far back of the store) we couldn't come in carrying guns - or unless we were BCPD officers. This kinda stunned us cause we'd never had a problem before. My friend was so upset I think he decided not to make an issue of it (right then) and said fine, we're leaving.
Went to Bass Pro Shop, man it was crowded, both in customers and employees. Walked in with nothing but nods and smiles to us. Talked to the guys in the gun section about ordering us some small rifle primers (he's building an AR-15 and wants to reload his own ammo to save money!) again, not a single question about us OCing. Even spoke with the manager about the hunter-classes they've been having, she was helpful too. All in all a very friendly, very pleasant experience.
Went home, emailed Academy (apparently you can't contact the manager on the weekends) asking what their company policy is. Expected reply date was listed as "1-2 business days".
Long story short: Anyone else had problems OC'ing at Academy Sports?
