Costco members in here?
Just spotted this :
Costco Wholesale is a membership-only warehouse club. It is not open to the general public. It restricts membership to a limited group of qualified individuals who agree to membership conditions. We have the right and the obligation to our members, to enact and enforce membership rules. The Member Service Employees at the exit doors are obliged to follow these rules. By obtaining a Costco membership card, our members agree to comply with the Membership Rules and the Privileges and Conditions of membership.
Costco does not believe that it is necessary for firearms to be brought into its warehouse stores, except in the case of authorized law enforcement officers. For the protection of all our members and employees, we feel this is a reasonable and prudent precaution to ensure a pleasant shopping experience and safe workplace. Our policy is meant to protect our members and employees in all warehouses around the world. This is not a new policy and we do not customize the policy for each individual city/county/state/country where we do business.
Our primary goal at Costco Wholesale is to keep our members happy. If you believe that our policy restricting members from bringing firearms into our warehouse stores is either unfair or excessively burdensome, or you cannot agree to abide by this policy, or you are dissatisfied for any other reason, Costco will promptly refund your annual membership fee in full.

Well, guess I'm not giving them my money.
I don't like being a fish in a barrel.

I wonder what Sam's Club policy is? That is where we (wife & I) go.

That's a pretty long winded way of saying "Take your gun and get the fu¢k out - we don't need your money anyway."

I knew that is how Costco is after they assisted in having an armed citizen shot by the .gov agents. I believe it was in Nevada. It does not appear, from what I have read, as if Costco is being very cooperative, or forthright, with the investigation into that matter. The seem to be stonewalling, along with the .gov.
Be safe (and trust yourself more than Costco, or the .gov, does).

Re: Costco members in here?
You know, I've looked through all of the paperwork I was given when I signed up, and this restriction wasn't in there. I even went and got a new member application form the store, and there were no firearm restrictions in the "Rules and Regulations" section. I'm not doubting that this policy exists, I'm just saying that I've looked for it in the printed literature and never seen it.
Either way, concealed is concealed, and I need to buy toilet paper, racks of ribs, and batteries in bulk

Sam's Club is a part of WalMart, is it not? Which would indicate to me that they actually support the rights of their customers, unlike Costco.
