DHan Posted April 17, 2014 at 02:53 PM Share Posted April 17, 2014 at 02:53 PM Tuesday, I stopped at Bass Pro in East Peoria in my never ending pursuit of ammo . I encountered their "All Firearms and bows must be checked" sign. I informed the employee at the secured entrance gate, that I couldn't shop there. and presented a "No Guns, No $ card. She said that was the first card she has seen, and to go on in anyway. I told her Gander Mountain has a similar sign, but has a exclusion for CCW Holders.

solareclipse2 Posted April 17, 2014 at 03:12 PM Share Posted April 17, 2014 at 03:12 PM Bass Pro in Portage, IN has that same sign. I always thought it was in the same vein as the sign at Cabelas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Rat Posted April 17, 2014 at 03:15 PM Share Posted April 17, 2014 at 03:15 PM Bass Pro in Portage, IN has that same sign. I always thought it was in the same vein as the sign at Cabelas. Yeah, I thought the one in Gurnee has something saying that only applies to guns going to the range or for service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass Pro has had this policy forever, and it has been discussed many times before that it doesn't apply to CCers. It's so they don't have some fudd bringing in his shotgun for repair wielding it around the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk067 Posted April 17, 2014 at 03:21 PM Share Posted April 17, 2014 at 03:21 PM It was the first card she's seen because that policy only applies to people bringing in weapons to be serviced or sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGDEESUL Posted April 17, 2014 at 03:51 PM Share Posted April 17, 2014 at 03:51 PM Cabela's does specifically state that it does not apply to concealed carriers. I thought Bass Pro's Sogn said any forearms or bows being brought in for service had to be checked? No I'm gonna have to check. Doesn't apply to us, but they should probably clarify that on their sign Please, nobody go full retard and add them to the posted app like all the Jewel's!

There is no sign at Pressley's in Bartonville. They are very 2A friendly and have great staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borgranta Posted April 17, 2014 at 05:20 PM Share Posted April 17, 2014 at 05:20 PM They should change their sign to be consistent with policy because there is no way to know how many potential new customers did not go in. My time is precious and I will not waste it arguing with anti-gunners when my cash will speak louder and carry more weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgranta Posted April 17, 2014 at 05:25 PM Share Posted April 17, 2014 at 05:25 PM I make an exception to the above when posting about it on an offending store's Facebook page to get more exposure. I complained about the Walmart gun free sign on their Facebook pages namely how loyal customers could face arrest if caught by an LEO and not too long after they took the sign down.

I think it is a safe assumption that the signage was placed in Illinois stores before concealed carry was a reality in Illinois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
