I should be so lucky.

At the risk of being banned, I am going to double post this.

After contacting them through the usual channels, I waited one week, and hadn't received any contact from Cabela's. Within 24 hours of posting the encounter here, I received a call from the manager at the Cabela's in PDC. He was extremely polite and apologetic. He let me know that it is Cabela's policy to follow state law as it pertains to carry, that I can carry there, and that the two employees who approached me were incorrect.

He went on to say that there has been quite a few personnel changes at Cabela's lately because of this policy (implying they were cleaning out those who refuse to comply with the policy). As Nik stated, Cabela's is a larger organization and it will take them a little while to clean out the weeds. Now that I am aware of the policy, and the internal issues they are working to correct, I WILL CONTINUE to do business with them because they are working to correct the problems when they arise.

Lastly, they did offer me a nice discount off a new handgun, so if you all have any advice about a new carry gun, from Cabela's, PM me.

Edit: Just to clarify: Please not the OP was edited/changed by the admin at my request.

Have they changed their sign yet? When I was there last week end the sign mentioned concealed carry but nothing about open carry as authorized by state law.

In case you don't know, a discount at Cabela's will still be far above normal prices elsewhere. lol

Farm & Fleet has a no firearms policy, but corporate headquarters will not admit that they do when inquired about it.

over the weekend a small group of us decended on the cabelas up around Hubert's neck of the woods; it seems that the uninformed at the place had tossed Hubert out. Not a smart thing to do. Hubert had a meeting with the store manager while the rest of us wandered around the store, and shopped. Hubert got a justly due appology, and we wandered, and spent money. I was all over that place, front to back, and no one gave me the evil eye, no one avoided me, no police came. Just another law abiding citizen going about his business. The place made at least $100 on us that day. We even stood outside, in front waiting for the rest to finish shopping, again, no one ran, no one avoided us. Lesson: Don't toss out law abiding citizens when your corporate policy says otherwise, embrace law abiding citizens, because as they come their wallets come with!
