Scheels doesn't get it about LB 817

Wymore Wrangler:
I was in the Lincoln Scheels today, they have a sign up stating that since the BATF has not formally approved the CCW permit being used in lieu of the hand gun purchase permit, they will not sell anyone a handgun without a purchase permit.  I asked the salesman why this policy, We discussed that you could still use your CCW, but they could still call in for NCIS check.  While he agreed that would be legal, Corporate Offices are setting this policy.  He lost out today, I was in the mood to buy a gun, but I'll take my gun business elsewhere...

Wymore Wrangler:
Oh and I forgot, no more folding stock AR's, Corporate policy...

Famous556:
I guess I can understand the policy of not accepting the CCW permit for permit to purchase, if it really hasnt been formally approved by the BATFE, being as they are a big corporation they're just practicing the old CYA.  But the no more collapsible stock (assuming thats what you meant) thing is a joke.  I have never bought any firearms from Scheels, and now will certainly not.  IMO, either you support gun rights, or you don't.  If a business who is in the business of selling firearms refuses to stock/sell certain guns because of "scary" features like a collapsible stock (assuming this is their reasoning), then they ought to just stick to selling tents and bicycles.  just my $.02...

bkoenig:
Sounds like I'll be writing a letter to Scheels explaining why I won't be buying any more guns from them.

Edit that, I just emailed inquiring about the policy inquiring whether it was true and the reasoning if so.  If it is true, this is going on AR15.com, The High Road, The Firing Line, etc.   The last thing we need is a previously good retailer betraying us.

Mudinyeri:
Pretty sure the one in Omaha will let you walk out without registering if you have a CC permit.  Last I heard that was the case anyway.
