Another big-box retailer, Costco Wholesale Corp, explicitly bans its members from bringing guns into stores. The company's weapons policy is posted on Costco.com but not publicly at store entrances. The retailer hasn't adapted new protocols for confronting an armed customer or employee.

Did Costco always have this policy or was it in response to the shootings in its stores? I've never been a member so I wouldn't know, but I don't recall hearing it before.

I believe it's an urban myth. They aren't posted, and I haven't seen a membership agreement since the 1980's, (and that was in California -- and they were called the Price Club back then).

But if they are actually 30.06 posted somewhere, I really don't want to know.

Costco's company policy is no guns, but they do not post 30.06 on their stores. It's rather a disingenuous position, IMO. They want to have their cake and eat it too. After they caused Erik Scott's death (IMO), I decided not to ever go to a Costco for any reason.

Have there been many or any shootings "in" Costco? I searched a little and only found where the police had killed a woman vendor with a knife and also wounded one of their own.

Only in Las Vegas, where nothing leaves.

You're probably referring to the Eric Scott killing and while "at" Costco, it was really outside.
