Hurt and dissapointed... but very proud. Cabelas open carry.

(There's a reason for this question. I would like to know the answer before I comment, though.)

That's...
Well. From a bystander that's rather impossible to tell.
As far as the OP -- I hope he's stuck around, but I believe he might be of the persuasion that had a lot of megaphone/mic time during last year's 2A State Capital Marches that spoke a lot on conspiracy theories and similar. I'm not going to speak to the stuff espoused by them, but these folks tend to be abrasive usually :(. It makes their views difficult to get across due to the attitude that comes with it.
As far as any kind of protest or organized thing outside of Cabelas ? That's downright political suicide.

True. But not my point. It has to do with the carriers, actually. As such, I'm rather hoping the OP is going to answer, because it is actually an important question.
No, it has nothing to do with how people are going to react to the situation, or anything like that. But it will tell me something important about the people who were carrying, so I'd like to know. And once I know, I'll say why I'm so curious. :)

As far as how we did it, im fine with how I did it. wouldn't change a thing. thanks. Its private property and they can deny us from entry with an open carried weapon. I have open carried my handgun their close to 20 times with no issue. Thought we would try our hand at the publics and staffs response of rifle open carry. didn't go as planned that is all and I can be disappointed about that. Other thing I personally don't care who opposes me or anyone from open carrying a rifle, shotgun, handgun. It is a gun no matter what shape or caliber and if it is legal to carry it then be my guest. the people fear rifles because the media has taught them to. Its not the gun its the people. I really thought id get a different response from you guys.

If you'd Stop and take a minute to just think about it!.
You'd understand exactly why they don't want or allow Open carry of at least of Long guns in side their store.
They Buy, Sell and have Consignment Used Long Guns.
They sit for the most part unattended in a Rack on the floor open for public inspection.
True they are cabled but you might have a way to cut or remove that cable.
It's a Shoplifting / loss prevention Measure....
As their employees have no way of knowing your not trying to steal any long gun your carring around.
Their Hand guns are all inside display cases and you have to get someone to assist you if you want to handle them so those are attended at all times they are not directly under their control and locked away in side some sort of display case.
This is the Point where you have a "Homer Simson" type moment and have to smack yourself in the head and go---- Doh!
As i see it....it's not about a case of Responsable open carry anyways that just doesn't even apply in this case.
Cabela's seems to attempt to meet everyones needs best they can by allowing at least concealed carry in their stores......But in this case it's their needs not your needs being met

I couldn't believe the negative reaction I got when open carrying. After all, I had all the DD stamps I needed for the explosives I wired onto my vest, and yet everyone looked at me like I was crazy. I don't get it.

jthhapkido - I don't think he's coming back, but I really want to hear what you think! Perhaps you could just give us both sides - if it was vs. if it wasn't loaded. The anticipation is killing me!
