Does anyone know if any of the teens involved is a Costco member? I believe a member can bring up to 3 guests but only the member can make purchases. Anyway, I blame the lady or ladies at the front door who are supposed to see a Costco card before granting entry.

In fairness, we shouldn't leave out the people who monitor the exit and pretend to check that your receipt matches what is in your cart. Clearly that system is broken too.

My suggestion: Metal detectors at the entry and equipping the greeters with wands for secondary inspection.

So if I join a members only private club and by signing my name under the line that says, "I have read and acknowledge all the rules and restrictions of membership and I agree to abide and be bound by the rules...," that is not considered legal notice under Texas laws and I can just ignore the gun prohibition? Cool!

If you're in Costco you left your sidearm in the car, right?
Never been in a Costco. Don't know what their policy is. My statement was in general about such situations.
If I had been there and had forgotten to disarm before entering and assuming I was in reasonable proximity of the actual activity I'm pretty sure I would draw my sidearm and take a defensive position if at all possible.

Would I fire on the teens? I seriously doubt it. But, I would have the gun toting teen in my sights, again, if at all possible.
