I've carried openly all over western SD, mostly Rapid City, Spearfish and Hot Springs. One problem at Walmart in Spearfish in '05, and once in Rapid City about two years ago, but nothing since. Just had to set the manager straight on their own policy.

There are a LOT more places posted "no guns" in SD, and I simply stay out of those places. Their loss.

OC'd Yesterday at HyVee, Jones Food Center, Shell gas station. LEO was at the gas station, but he was there for a different reason. No Problems. I placed them on Friendorfoe.us so the info in on there. You should post some on there.

Great idea. I did go to friendorfoe.us and enter some reviews. Thanks for the nudge.

Hey not a problem. Thanks for the review. Lets get South Dakota mapped up for our other OCers so they have a great time if/when they come.

Great OC experience

I OCed tonight and went into the Shell gas station on Cherry Str. I have been goinf there for awhile and tonight there was the regualr Indain guy (from India). He asked if I was an undercover cop or just a police officer. I told him that I am just a regular citizen. I told him you don't need a permit to openly carry. he then got interested in being an OCer. He isn't a citizen yet but will be in a few years and excited to use his 2nd amendment rights

Glad that he is interested. Hopefully he will get out there when he has a chance.

Good experience

Working at my new job and found that a co-worker conceal carry when he is not working. He did not know he could OC here and he is interested in doing it. Asked if he wanted to OC around town so we are going to at some point.

Stampede Hockey Game

I was at a Stampede game the other night, I did not carry but thought of it. They checked bags on the way in but I did not see anything posted on the entrances and the ticket left is very vague.

Does anyone know if the Stampede games are firearm friendly?

I did not find anything specific but it looks like after a pat down you maybe a "case by case basis" here is the web address.

http://www.sfarena.com/ticket_info/security_policies

'Management reserves the right to handle each occurrence on a case-by-case basis. Depending on the item, the patron may either be asked to remove the item from the facility or dispose of them or may be ejected from the facility. "


They have a number for guest services if you wanna call LOL !
