As a new CHLer, I forgot to show it and while handing him my DL, he saw my CHL and said, "Is that thing current?" Of course I said yes and he replied, "Oh great, you just made both of our days easier!" I answered the standard questions on the form, wrote him a check and walked out. Check out time from gun selection to payment to butt in Jeep... Maybe 10 minutes.

Yes, I have heard great things about Sportsman's, including fair prices and friendly customer service! I have been meaning to go to the one in DFW area but I am afraid that I might buy something!

It is funny.....in my case I had two on.......one cocked and locked and one wheelie in a ankle holster!

I can understand their policy on this though........they just sell a gun to somebody, do the phone check, and instead of handing over the gun to someone that may load it from ammo in their pocket and either rob or shoot up the place, they walk them out, ensuring the gun remains empty.

Problem is that they do this even with with people who have already shown their CHL and no calls were made!

I guess it's just too difficult to get employees that could distinguish between 2 different policies, so they just have the one for all!

Yes, they have the "walk".

I won't shop at stores that continue to make a call on CHL holders!
It's been a long time since I have even been in a store where they do this and if I ever go into one and decide to buy something, when they hand me the paperwork and I show my CHL I will ask them "do you plan on making a call on this transaction" and if they say yes, then I just say "no thank you" and leave.

It is not required for them to do it and it is an invasion of my rights as far as I am concerned.
