Like bkoenig, I agree that this really sounds like "I'll full of it" disease with a side of "here's what I'D do 'cause I'm a tough guy!" on the part of the salesman.  The problem, of course, is that he might actually insist on acting on this nonsense in an actual situation. 

I also agree with bkoenig about Scheel's most probable actual policy.  Like Cabelas, they probably would prefer anything not concealed to be unloaded, and bagged or cased.  (As all too many people just like to whip out guns to show other people.)


--- Quote ---Thanks for the CC info, would it be possible for my wife to attend? Where do you perform the shooting portion?

We have a building in Plattsmouth for the classroom portion, and a private (outdoor) range area about 10 minutes away for the live fire portion.    We do have openings, so if both you and your wife want to take the class, feel free to go ahead and register!

Here's a link to the information I posted about this class in the "Firearms Training and Education" subforum:

I have seen OCers in Scheels Lincoln on 2 occasions.  Nothing was said that I observed and did not appear an issue.

As a CHP instructor myself (who limits classes to small and private), I second jthapkido on Chris Zeeb if location a matter.  In my limited time of know jthapkido I would bet the farm you'll not be disappointed in his course either.

Can't go wrong with 88 Tactical, although I did not take my CHP with them, took a few classes from HG to Tac Rifle to their first HD Shotgun 5-6 years ago when Signal 88.

barmandr:
This was their response when asked in 2012...Hello XXXXXXX, Thank you for contacting Scheels. Scheels corporate policy surrounding the legal carry of firearms by law abiding citizens is that we follow federal, state and local laws.

 Thank you, Scheels Customer Service
 <customerservice@scheelssports.com>

Correct me if I'm wrong though...if the store is in a "mall" which is posted, you aren't supposed to carry, even if an individual store policy normally allows it.

abbafandr:
Scheels allows concealed carry.  Don't open carry, nothing against it though.

Chris Zeeb is an outstanding instructor, got Utah permit from. 
Got my CHP before jthhapkido got his license, but from my interaction with him at ENGC matches, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
Took a reloading class from semperfi guy, who also teaches concealed  carry, no hesitation here either.

NE Bull:
I was needing to test fit a holster and the Scheel's associate helping me said," well just bring it in and we'll see what fits.".   I said, I wasn't for sure if I could bring it in the store.  He replied "All we ask is it's either concealed or unloaded, in a case. "  Take that for what it's worth.  (Of course I was already carrying my other pistol at the time...)  Of course, as discussed in another thread, line 12 (or 14) of the South Pointe rules sign out in the walkway states that firearms open or concealed are prohibited.

As for CCW courses in Lincoln, if you can't get into a Zeeb class, don't forget  Dave -aka HuskerXDM ( http://nebraskaconcealedcarryclasses.weebly.com/ ) Great teacher and good people.
