It is pretty common knowledge that Costco in other areas are anti-gun. However, their signs aren't worth the paper they are printed on here in Utah and I have noticed they don't even have them here.
So I am curious. Has anyone had any OC experiences here in Utah at a Costco?
I have filled up with gas at their station a few times but have never gone inside while OC...
Well...Fellow Arms Men...I have a Wonderful Story to tell You all.
On12/11/2006 @ about 5Pm MST my wife and I went in to Costco @ 106th So next to I-15.
My Outfit is Chippawah Boots, Levi's, Levi shirt, Light Brown Vest, Blue Scarf, Suit Coat and a Stetson on my head. Strapped to my hip under the Coat is an "old style" Vaquero 44mag in a Triple K Rooster Cogburn Rig - Deluxe, with 25 44mag caliber rounds shining to the world.
After walking around for a while I got warm and took of my Coat and put it in the cart. We walked around looking at X-mas gifts and along the way we stopped plenty off Associates in the store when we had Questions. I even OPEN CARRIED thru check-out.
On the way out we decided to have a Polish and an Ice-cream, and while waiting for the food we were shooting the Breeze ( NO PUN INTENDED )with a Supervisior and he could absolutely NOT miss that a 44 was strapped to my hip.
while we were eating a older couple came by on the way out and stopped by our table and said "-I don't think You get this alot if at all. But THANK YOU for Carrying Open. THANK YOU for upholding OUR CONSTITIONAL RIGHT. We need more of that." I was caught off guard but Happy when I understood what he said. I said Thank You Very Much
, and they went on their way.
HAPPY AND SATISFIED COSTCO "OPEN CARRY" CUSTOMER.
