What do you think of gun stores which ban carry?
What do you guys make of gun shops that say no carry inside? I think it is wrong of a gun shop to do that as if they cannot trust gun owners, why should any other business? If you ask them, they will say that people draw their guns to show them and friends in gunstores and would not do that at the supermarket -- so they are a special case.

I have been in a gun store three times where a customer whipped a gun out and NDed. In one case an employee was hit.
I understand Robert's side of it, but they don't let you put up a sign that says "If your Stupid, don't bring a loaded gun in the store"
In Elizabethtown KY, just outside Ft Knox/Knob Creek there is a gun shop that has a sign at the door that says something like "If you bring a concealed firearm into the store, keep it that way", I think that's a much better sign and Policy

The door of my local gun shop says that concealed weapons are welcomed and encouraged.
It doesn't matter though, I walk right past every 'no guns' sign that I see. They are legally meaningless in Oklahoma. Unless I am looking at a felony conviction if caught, I'm not asking permission to defend myself.

Stores here have "no loaded firearms signs" under it it reads "CHL holders exempt" or they have, "keep your weapon holstered, or unloaded, action open and barrel up"
"You'll put yer eye out with that thing"

They have signs like that here at our malls, they even say no concealed, but they're not 30.06 signs so they're not considered official notice.rsilvers wrote:We don't have signs in MA except at a few gun stores. One of our malls has a rules sign and it says 'no weapons.' I assume they mean 'no illegal weapons' so I ignore it. Also no penalty except trespassing if they ask you to leave and you refuse.
I've even seen some at hotels that had the lettering of 30.06, but failed to meet the minimum size requirement.(they put little tiny ones at the bottom of the door)

Same applies in Georgia. "Don't ask, don't tell." If discovered and asked to leave, politely do so to avoid trespass citation.rsilvers wrote:We don't have signs in MA except at a few gun stores.

I agree wholeheartedly and follow the same practice. Unless being discovered will result in a felony, I’ll take the risk of the misdemeanor, should I ever have a problem.Rob wrote:The door of my local gun shop says that concealed weapons are welcomed and encouraged.

Just be sure that there is not an enhancement in your State that ups Misd "Trespass" to Felony "Armed Trespass" when you care carrying a Firearm700PSS wrote:I agree wholeheartedly and follow the same practice.

The mall in my area has a no concealed carry sign along with the rest of the do not do's at the entrance but I still carry there. I have yet to be seen with it on and if the day comes that some one happens to notice it I dont dress like a criminal or act like one so I think that helps the situtation of someone not freeking out.

Well, you also have to consider (at least out here) their proximity to schools.
There's one school in town that has 3 gun shops within 100 yards.... with our anti-gun/school laws.... noone can have a loaded gun within those shops. Home owners are exempt from this.

In my area there is a local gunshop and a national sporting goods retailer that have signs on their doors stating that all firearms must be unloaded, in a case, and checked at the front desk (not checked at the gunshop) and "This does not apply to concealed carry holders". I agree with this policy as it doesn't infringe on anyone's rights, and protects us all from the idiots.
Just another bitter man clinging to his guns and religion.

When I carry, my firearm never leaves the holster unless someone needs to be shot or I'm at a firing range...it should be common sense that you don't pull a loaded firearm out in public for any reason but an absolute necessity.
Those NDs in gun stores should be completely preventable by anyone who follows the basic rules of firearms safety
ETA:
If you don't think your customers with carry permits are responsible enough to carry, why would you sell them a firearm?
