You are very lucky person.

Things in Costco can deteriorate rapidly when it comes to guns.

Their membership agreement you signed, you agreed that you would never bring a gun into Costco.

Here is probably my first post on this forum.

This former West Point Army Captain and CHL in Las Vegas, Nevada was concealed carrying in their store there. There are no signs prohibiting guns at the store he was in. He and his girlfriend were approached by a store person and was told there were no guns allowed in the store, after he squatted down and the gun was partially exposed. Rather than leaving he got all second amendment with the person. BTW he was never specifically told he must leave.

Security called 911 with an emergency that there was a man in their store with a gun.

Las Vegas police arrived in mass.

They decided the best approach was to say the store must be evacuated due to a bomb threat. The CHL and his girlfriend peacefully left the store. He was talking on his cell phone or holding it in his hand at the time, as he was walking out with the other customers in mass. From behind his back the security pointed him out to the police.

Once outside the store, but still under the outdoor covered area and in and among all the other shoppers and his girlfriend, the police surrounded him and shouted conflicting orders, freeze, drop your gun, hands up. One officer in fear of his life began shooting at what he thought was a threat. In what is called contagious fire, the other officers began firing. Many of the bullets were fired when he was lying face down on the ground dying. Had every shot fired not hit its mark other customers or the officers themselves would have been hit. Most customers were shocked.

In the press he was portrayed as a madman with a gun. It was only later that his father tied to clear his good name that he was an innocent man murdered by the Las Vegas police.

In the end there were no charges, all the video cameras that showed the event were not working that day. Two of the officers received awards from a national police officers association.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Be careful in Costco.
