Country Fair Firearms Policy (Update: Gun Friendly)

[blitzo]

For those who do not know, Country Fair is a gas station and convenience store that is popular in NW PA. They also have several locations in Ohio and New York.

I have been open carrying into several different Country Fair locations for several years with out any incidents. Recently I stopped in and a local location and during my transaction the store manager interrupted and informed me I can't have a gun inside the store. The manager let me finish my transaction and stated not to bring it back.

I believe the manager made up or doesn't know the store policy. I decided to contact the corporate headquarters to find out what the actual policy stated. I spoke with customer service and they did not have an answer for me. The person I spoke to says a firearms policy has never been discussed. The employee was very polite and we discussed a few things. They are suppose to call me with more information. I will post an update if and when I hear something back.

really interested to hear what you find out. I am in country fair fairly often when I am up at school. Never had an issue with CCing in any of the ones I frequent but then thats CC.

Why do middle management people think they have the authority to make up corporate policy?

I guess you finally got a contact number!
Keep after 'em, until you get an answer.

Received a response and they do not prohibit customers from carrying firearms.

Are they going to have a nice chat with the Manager? Inquiring minds want to Know...

Good job on following up, it's how we keep them honest. Rep Sent.

Yes. They did mention having a discussion about it with a manager at the location I had an incident. They also mentioned they will be informing all of their managers. We discussed a few other related things and I made it clear that I support businesses who allow legal carry. I thanked them for allowing customers to carry firearms and they also thanked me for supporting them.

A win all around, great job. Would you like to be president?
