So tonight I went into Dick's at the South Hill Mall with my wife. As I walked in through the front door a young male employee greeted us. I saw his eyes lock onto my extra magazine on my hip. Less than 60 seconds later I heard a woman calling, "Sir! Sir!"
I truned around to see a manager approaching me and my wife. She asked me if I was Law Enforcement or a Security Officer. (Security Officer, WTF?) I told her no I was not.
She proceeded to tell me that I must check my weapon in at customer service no matter if the weapon was loaded or not.
I informed her that company policy was to abide by state law.
She interupted me and repeated herself saying, "yes, but you have to check it in."
I tried one more time and was interupted again and told the same thing. I looked her dead in the eye and said no. I then turned to my wife and said we're leaving.
When I got home I checked the letters on here dictating company policy and saw that I was right. I also saw that someone had a similar experience in another state. Apparently their check in policy does exist but only for weapons requiring service. There was another letter stating that.
I called the store and spoke to the woman informing her of what I was seeing for company policy. She said that after I left she called her regional manager but had not heard back yet. She then called another store to ask about the policy and they agreed that she was correct and I was in the wrong.
I will be contacting corporate tomorrow to get this taken care of.
