bass pro shops
« on: April 29, 2015, 06:30:42 PM »
OK gang here's the question and the reason for it. Has anybody bought any firearms from bass pro lately? I am working out in New Hampshire right now and they refused to sell to a Nebraska resident. All other gun shops in the area have no problem with it. I have contacted the corporate office but have not heard back from them.

While living in Omaha Nebraska, I had no problem buying a 22 rifle from a BPS in Iowa.  Dunno.

Got me on this one. Some of the investigating I have done shows that this was a recent change but, the only answers anybody can give me are, there must have been some new law in Nebraska go into affect.  The really strange thing is this seems to be the only store up here that won't sell to a Nebraska resident. We also found out today they won't sell to Ohio either but, the other shops will. I'm going to call corporate again and follow up on this.

Assuming you live in NE.  Long guns you can buy there.  Pistols have to go to FFL in NE.

I am well  aware of the laws for buying firearms. I am trying to figure out if it is just this store or if it is company wide And, if it's just this one I want corporate to tell me the reason.

I had the same issue in Florida in December. Just went to a local dealer and had no problems buying a rifle there.

A co-worker contacted the Council Bluffs store and also the Springfield store yesterday. It seems that Bass Pro is picking and choosing what states to sell to. He was told that if there isn't reciprocity with the state they will not sell to you. I had no time to contact the corporate office yesterday so I can't confirm that said of yet. Good thing there are local shops that actually go by federal law.
