Rural King stupidity.

Rural King stupidity(customer...not store)

What should I have done. I just hightailed it away from this guy.

At at rural king getting plants for garden. I went to gun section because...well....because it's there. I was window shopping and saw a young kid open carrying a large holster with what looked like a mp9c of some sort in it. He was looking at holsters. As I was about to leave he brought his baby(in child carrier) over to counter and asked if they had any plastic holsters that would fit his gun. She said something and next thing I know he has pulled gun by 2 fingers out and jacked a loaded mag out of it. If he didn't muzzle sweep his baby he came damn close. At that point I didn't stay around to watch. I never heard a slide jacked open. He left a minute later as I checked out.

I hope he was kicked out not just left on his own. That's crazy and makes all us pro gun people look bad

So many people do not understand the RESPONSIBILITY involved in firearm ownership, and especially, carry.

This man is an exception to normality. Most of us take this very seriously, he doesn't, clearly.

And the guy is probably a INGO member who knows all.

Sadly, this is why I've stayed away from that counter / store since ammo has become less scarce... Too many times like this (without the baby) played out in front of me after they got their firearms counter.

I would have ran the other way

Ya know that's the first thing I had to change when I started carrying, I'm not carrying my son in his car seat with my holstered pistol pointed at his head. I suppose it's a good idea to keep my strong hand free as well.

Fixed it...after I posted it I figured people would open it thinking it was a gander-esque weekly 'they suck' post.

 

[Hookeye]

He should not own a gun or have reproduced.

How stupid. I like RK though. There is a jack-wagon at a gun counter at any given time.

I don't get why Rural King makes you have a gun case to leave with your gun. Their excuse is, "It's the law!"

 

[762minigun]

Whats youre beef here? He's in the firearms section inquiring about holsters. Least he went to the counter instead of whipping the ol heater out in the middle of the isle.

Even with the purchase of a gun case they are still cheaper than Gander Mountain.

Seriously?

And some people still wonder why some businesses ban weapons on their property.

Atf requires it if in a school zone. I read the law different but atf rules, not Rural Kings.

Damn I opened this thinking it would be a Gander-esque "They Suck" post!

So Rural King claims. The Terre Haute Gander is in a school zone and doesn't require a case. Are you saying that it's a crime for me to drive past a school with an uncased gun?

Contact the atf and ask them, I'm not saying what is and what isn't a crime, not sure where you got that from. I have read the law and it really is a law that isn't a law. Look it up yourself. All I'm saying is I have heard it from both the atf as well as main office of Rural King so don't blame me for the rule!

As far as Gander, if you would rather pay 100.00 more for a gun than spend 10.00 on a case at Rural King, then be my guest my friend.
