What do you do when twenty people are in the store handling guns,some that are brought in off the street? I don't think the Bullethole let's you open carry, and gun shows don't. After the ham-handed, dry firing,finger-on-the-trigger waving examples I've seen at gun shows,I wouldn't go if there were a percentage of loaded guns mixed in. :o

The Bullet Hole allows open carry. We dont allow any handling of personal firearms in the retail area, coat room or behind the shooting lanes. Your firearm may only be unholstered or uncased when in a shooting lane and must be recased or reholstered before you step out . If you need your gun looked at or worked on by the staff they will handle it and make it safe.
This has been a constant source of aggravation for us. We have signs posted all over the place stating to not handle your gun but it gets ignored on occasion. And we dont hesitate to call you out in front of a room full of people.
Cant tell you how many times we have been handed a loaded gun that was supposed to be empty.

Cabela's has the apostrophe in the name making it theirs, as in "it's mine, I make the rules". They are not affecting or taking the rights from anyone that willingly enters the property they own. I don't allow people to smoke in my house, it's not illegal to smoke, but it's mine, I make the rules.

Shawn,thanks for the correct info. When I've gone to the BH I've only seen cased guns. The only people I've seen handling guns in the store area are the employees. What do you think of Cabela's policy? RJ

If everyone entering Cabelas would follow the rules on weapons handling in the store it wouldnt be an issue. But as I can attest, some dont. It doesnt matter how many signs you post.
At The Bullet Hole its pretty easy to spot someone starting to uncase or unholster a weapon. And if they do the guys behind the counter will spot it quickly and deal with it. The size of Cabelas makes this much more difficult.
Having had loaded guns pointed at me by customers, and having been at the range when a customer AD`d in the retail area, I dont have a problem with it. Personally it doesnt affect me at all as I dont open carry.

Simply put, MY rights end where YOUR rights begin. That line is a fuzzy one at best, but must be agreed upon by both parties involved (common courtesy), and as such the party in control of the property has final say (castle doctorine). (a precedent set by the Supreme Courts of our land, yet obviously forgotten in reguards to a recent ruling for a certain group of anti-Americans and against common decency, another rant for another day!)
