They don't ask and I don't tell.
:iagree:

Is Sam's any different?
They are not signed, and they have always stated that they follow state law. I haven't been there since the 1st, so I don't know if anyone is open carrying in their stores.
I've always CC at Costco and will continue. No sign so I don't concern myself with anything else. But, Sam's is always a viable option if Costco changes course.

As long as there is no sign, or other legal means of notification, I will CC there. Only thing I have to loose is my membership. I am willing to risk that to be able to protect my self if needed.

:iagree:

And the OP said he open carried there and only got asked to not open carry. Didn't lose his membership, so I guess they don't care about their anti-gun policies as much as they care about getting his money. I will not support these commies by becoming a member, I'll just shop at Sam's.

Well, that is not the most that could happen, which is why I will never ever go to Costco. Google Costco and Erik Scott and shooting. A CHL holder legally carrying was murdered by Las Vegas police because the Costco employee reported him in such a way that the police thought they were dealing with a crazy man. Costco's videos mysteriously didn't work that day during the shooting, so we'll never know the truth of what happened. Erik Scott was a West Point grad, Army Captain and veteran and was shot multiple times by multiple police officers. I blame Costco, because they were the ones who escalated the incident and hyped it to the police which created the situation that led to his death.

That's my interpretation of the known facts. Others will differ with me. But for me, I will never darken Costco's door, and I will never again go to Las Vegas.

Selma Costco not signed at all. I've always CC'd there. If they post 06 or 07 I will still go.

There is the where it went wrong first. This can happen by anyone calling the police from anywhere at any given time. It just happened to be at costco.

So you will break the law? Or disarm and enter?

I'll not be offended by any sign they post; will not go against their wishes; will not break the law or jeopardize my LTC; and I will still shop there - unarmed if need be. Clear enough?
