I'm one of those people that like to plan out things in advance. I will go to the range from time to time with a buddy if they call up and want to head out, but I'm not a spur of the moment type.
It wasn't bad today. They had lots of ammo available. The S&W M&P .22 looked to be the deal of the day. Several of them were seen going out. The biggest problem was that the web page said open at 8AM. Well guess that don't mean a thing because. we didn't get in till 9AM.
Update, I did go to Cabela's both yesterday and today. I held off on buying a gun yesterday because it would take just too long. I was there when they opened at 5 AM and people were already heading over to the gun section to make purchases. People were waiting two or three hours for gun purchases so I decided to skip the gun purchase yesterday and instead I got some nice jeans and a nice vest for really low prices on their Black Friday sale. I went back today and I purchased the gun I wanted, specifically a Ruger Super Redhawk in .454 Casull and I was able to use a special coupon with it that was good for Friday and this weekend. At its price you might say I could've possibly saved $20, $30, or maybe even $100 if I bought it at another shop or if I bought it off a website such as grabagun but the fact of the matter is I didn't pay a penny for it because I used all my Cabela's club points to buy it. I had enough club points to get a free gun, how's that for a good deal?
Anyway, afterwards I went to the Heritage Guild in Easton where I shot it. Its very powerful but fun.
And I also got a food dehydrator that was on sale for the weekend.
My wife and I used to enjoy wandering through Cabelas sometimes. This past August was the last time we visited, and when we saw that every gun had a lock that could not be removed until the gun was taken home...we figured there was no reason to go back. Even the staff though it was a bad policy as many customers complained that they couldn't check a safety, try the trigger, etc.
To those that were there on Black Friday...is the gun lock policy still in force?
I used to be a big mail-order customer. Now that I’m in close proximity to a store, I can’t even bother to go look for the bargains.
Last time I purchased a gun at Cabelas the price was too high, but they had it. That was a long time ago so I'm not aware of the current lock policy.
When I got my gun the Saturday after Thanksgiving the guy helping me out did put a lock on it although if you are getting a gun you should be able to inspect it before purchase to make sure its in good working order, that the safety works, that the trigger is good, and so forth. It was a bit of a hassle to remove the lock which I did once I left the store although I can see why they would have such a policy in place, extra safety. You can walk around the store and shop while in possession of a purchased gun if its kept in its case with the Cabela's tape around it so I suppose the lock is just an extra safety measure.
