As much as I give them (very deserved) criticism for their gun related pricing, you have to give them serious credit for being overtly supportive of defensive carry.

I was so pleased to see a sign like that, same as others here, I snapped this pic at the Novi store:

I notice this sign doesn't mention OC. The one @ the Marquette store specifically states the OC is OK

I'd agree that whoever makes their corporate policies certainly respects the gun laws. Maybethey're pro-carry, maybe they know they stand to lose a lot of business by not supporting our right to carry. Regardless, I like the policy.

Well, I'm sure my 2 "local" Bass Pro shops won't have any OCers, since they are located in IL. The 3rd closest one will I'm sure since it's located in Indiana. And you confirmed that the 4th closest one already does.

That is the old sign.. they are slowly being replaced with the new one when they get sun faded.
For the sake of thoroughness, and because I wanted to get some hands on time with a gun I'm looking to buy, I stopped by Gander in Novi the other day. New sign:
