Re: Never going to Cabelas in Fort Worth again

I disagree with your statement. If a store has a sale or a discount program, then they should not also discount the level of service. It is the choice of the store to put that item on sale or offer special discounts or pricing. Sales are to the stores benefit to draw in customers. So, whether I buy that item on sale or at full price, I should get the same level of support and service for it.

Now, if it is understood up front that the item is sold 'as is', and there is no warranty or support, then I would agree that you get what you pay for.

They don't, but south Austin has Reds. Stopped at Cabelas to buy ammo and do some other shopping and didn't want to leave guns in the car to be stolen.
Ah, OK. Thought you meant to a range in Cabela's. :thumbs2:

Only business hours are posted. There were two gentlemen at a table in orange vests past the second set of doors to handle any incoming firearms and they did look over the inrush of customers (from behind their table) entering just as the store opened. Otherwise, I saw no mention of concealed carry one way or another. I carry in a vest due to my very casual attire and they did not give me a second look. I suspect the OP's treatment was specific to the individual he encountered and we all have to remind ourselves to be courteous (not that the OP wasn't!) when questioned and feel free to vote with our feet if need be. I know this is resurrecting an old thread, but since I wasn't licensed at the time, I paid no attention to these things and ran across it while trying to see if anyone had experienced problems visiting Cabelas before I went on my first carry there. ;-)

I go to the Buda Cabelas a couple times a month and they have signs that say the requirement that guns be unloaded and checked does not apply to CHL holders.

I went in Cablelas once carrying five guns. My son and I were headed to the range and I didn't want to leave any guns in the car --he had four. I had a huge fanny pack holding three of them. I'm sure it looked idiotic but no one said anything.

Re: Never going to Cabelas in Fort Worth again

Boy, talk about dead thread reincarnation; 3.5 years. :lol:

Cabela's policy is to allow CHL's holders to carry. As a matter of fact, the store in Fort Worth hosts CHL classes frequently and they know people carry there all the time.

For the OP, it may have been a new person and not fully understanding the rules as they were fairly newly opened at the time. I have not heard of this happening at all other than in this post.
