Re: Costco Gun Policy

I went inside (without my gun to obey Texas Law) and asked to speak to a manager. I asked the manager when did they put that sign up because I'm a CHL carrier who shops there all the time and she told me that it has always been up. I politely told here no it wasn't because as a CHL carrier I'm always checking for 30.06 signs before I enter any establishment. I called SAMs club while in there and asked if they allow CHL and the SAMs manager said yes they do. I told COSTCO that I'll be taking my business to SAMS. If you don't want my gun then you don't want my wallet.
Not only that, but we don't find Costco to be that less expensive than Sam's or Walmart, etc. Granted, we don't purchase platoon size quantities of nothing.

Edit:

FWIW, I bought my hearing aids from the Costco in Kalispell, MT and had 'em serviced at the Costco in The Woodlands. The lady audiologists at both locations had CC licenses and both knew that I was carrying.

This past Christmas, they went to renew it and found that I had never gone in and finalized the membership that they paid for from 2013. I informed them, in no uncertain terms, that I would never set foot in the place and that they were anti-gun fools.

They looked at me like I had two heads.

Re: Costco Gun Policy

In TEXAS, until Costco posts a 30.06 sign, methinks this concern (?) over legal concealed carry in a Costco is much ado about nothing. (ode to The Bard)

Re: Costco Gun Policy

Similar to this conundrum is the official stance of the United Methodist Church: "Therefore, every United Methodist church is officially declared a weapon-free zone."

Did I carry in the Rusk FUMC this morning? Yes, just like I carried in the Costco in The Woodlands where we went for hearing 'stuff' last week. Absent a 30.06 sign or negative statement from the Rev or Store Manager, licensed CC carry is permitted in Texas in these two structures. That said, remember that concealed is concealed.
