I read the account carefully, too.
I feel like there's something missing here, that's all. I have met a lot of jerks in my life but I've never met one like this Cabela's greeter that wasn't drunk, high or severely challenged mentally. A guy, for no reason accuses someone of carrying a gun, surely he doesn't do that to everyone... He says he "knows" he had a gun in the bag. We don't know that he doesn't until later, we find out he's carrying a gun bag but the gun's in his pocket. Why was it in his pocket instead of his bag? Did he move it while in the parking lot? Did someone see him with it and notified the front desk? All we know is that he tells the guy he has a CHL. Pretty much admitting that he had a gun without showing him, or did he? Did he ever show him the gun or CHL? We don't know. He never denied having a gun. It sounds like he admitted he did. Did he comply with the guy? The guy didn't restrain him enough to prevent him from walking into the store although he followed him. And the orange vest, did it say "security" on it? There just seems to be a lot that isn't revealed. I'm filling in the blanks with my imagination, I guess.

I'm trying to imagine someone being a total jerk as he describes, but in my 50 years, have never met anyone like that, gun related or not. I'm trying to get to why this greeter guy would react the way he did. I'm not trying to accuse or defend anyone, just interested in learning all I can about these situations, since I carry. I may want to know what to do in a situation and why someone would react like this guy did. I probably would have reacted quite differently, but I won't know until it happens.

I'm just hoping that we hear back about how the complaint went and what actions were taken.

1. Never at anytime was the gun exposed. It always stays in my front pocket.

2. If I did exposed the gun then I should have been arrested right? Didn't you take the CHL class. I was told that if you expose your gun for any reason unless your life could end you will go to jail.

Careful about stereotypes. Serial killers often have an everyday Joe look.

I'm condoning what he did in any way. He just knew what to look for. Sorry for your poor encounter.

You do make a good point about the serial killer thing.
I guess what bothered me was his approach. He could have walked up to me and said Sir, if you are bringing a gun in the store for an employee to view we need to check it"


Not cornering me and raise his hands to block my movement.

Next time I will go with a shirt that says:

"NO, I am not carrying a gun for an employee to check" ha ha..

I like Sportsmen Warehouse more anyways.
I just did it for the 20% coupon.
