Here is the info I got from TENA on the live customer chat at Cabelas.
Rich M:
I was wondering what Cabelas policy is concerning its customers carrying a firearm while in the store. Specifically, open carry and concealed carry with license.
Tena:
I know that if you have a concealed carry licence you are able to do this. You just need to check in at the front desk. Unfortunately, I do not know the policy on open carry. I would suggest contacting the retail store you plan on visiting directly for their policy on that.
Tena:
Actually, I just recheacked. We have made the decision to comply with state laws in regards to open carry. We do not ask customers to check concealed or open carry weapons where the state has laws governing this situation. Our signs refer to firearms that are being returned or sold to Cabela's.
Tena: So you can do both if your state permits.
Her first reply seemed odd, glad she rechecked.
