Cabelas Carry Policy
JimP:
The People of Nebraska enshrined the right to keep and bear arms in the Constitution by petition in 1988. While the fight about just what "A well regulated militia" meant in the US Constitution was just heating up, Nebraskans set about ensuring that there wasn't any wiggle room in our State Constitution.
Carry however you wish, but by all means, Carry.
Dan W:
What do we gain if we override the rights of private property owners with the right to keep and bears arms?
If I had spent a lifetime and millions of dollars building a business, I would certainly maintain that I had the right to determine what type of activity I would allow to occur on my property. Your rights end where mine begin... I will not support attempts to overthrow the rights of one group to advance those of another by anyone.
Of course we are free to choose to not do business with any company that does not support our views, but I will never agree that that company does not have the freedom to disagree.
Cabela's has been much more supportive of the RKBA than most. They purposely built their store in LaVista to bypass the restrictions that Omaha places on firearms possession. They allow for the legal carry of concealed firearms. They have the right to draw the line somewhere, and they have done so.
rugermanx:
I often open carry and I too have had some looks of "who the hell do you think you are?" But honestly I agree with Dan, we all have rights. And they end where the next persons begin. That is why we are a Republic.... so that no man's rights can be revoked by the "majority" or popular opinion.
SBarry:
I agree 100% Dan. Smoking is legal, but I will be damned if I am going to let someone smoke in my house or pickup. Safety is also an issue. CCW holders at least have taken a class, any fool can OC if they want. If Cabelas banned CC in their business, then I might have a problem. I know a few people I would not want carrying a gun around me. There are shooting ranges that don't allow any type of carry, and no holsters. Guns must be cased and unloaded without magazines installed or loaded. This is a shooting range, not a retail store full of sheeple. However backwards that may seem to us, it is their policy, and it is their right to exercise that policy.
It is their property. If you don't agree, take your coin elsewhere. They have done more for the NFOA than any other business. We need their support.
And the food was great.
tradhunter:
WOW. I think you might be misunderstanding me. I don't want to over through anyone's rights as business or private property owners. I don't like "gay pride" parades, but I whole hardily support their right to so. I don't agree with Mormonism, be will defend their right to worship. This is why this issue needs brought to the forefront, and discussed:
Customer Open-Carry and Concealed-Carry of Pistols and Revolvers in Cabela?s Retail Stores
Cabela?s company policies are intended to be aligned with applicable federal, state and local laws. Accordingly, each store location has adopted policies to comply with the laws governing the state, county and city in which the store is located.
With respect to the issue of open-carry and concealed-carry of firearms by customers ? it is Cabela?s general policy to allow customers to carry a pistol or revolver within Cabela?s stores if the customer is permitted to do so in accordance with applicable law; provided such firearm remains safely holstered while the customer is on Cabela?s property, and the activities of the customer do not raise safety concerns or otherwise interfere with Cabela?s business activities.
If a customer brings a firearm on Cabela?s property for purposes of repair, appraisal, evaluation, sale or any other purpose that will require the customer or someone else to handle the firearm or remove the firearm from a holster, the firearm must be checked in with store personnel, safely unloaded and fitted with a trigger lock.
Cabela?s supports responsible gun ownership and is committed to providing a safe family shopping environment. Accordingly, Cabela?s reserves the right to implement firearm safety procedures within its stores as Cabela?s deems appropriate.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
