Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Gun Stores vs. Masks

Two local gun shops tell customers who walk through the door to remove their masks. This is primarily so the security cameras can record their face. One may place their mask back on or leave off - customer's choice.

The one had a smart aleck 20 something year old walk in with a mask while I was there. He was asked to remove his mask. His response was, "What if I am robbing the place?" Wrong answer as he ended up looking down the barrels of two guns. He stammered he was only joking but was kicked out and told not to come back until he learned some common sense.

Location also plays a role, the more rural areas are much less stuck on masks than urban areas. The problems in rural areas tend to come from Citiots pushing thier fears and beliefs on the outstate areas. I had to run to our cabin to retrieve perishables in the fridge and freezers as the power had been knocked out the night before and wasn't expected to return over the weekend. Stopped for gas on the way up and saw only the clerk wearing a mask, those who went in were all mask less. On the way back I stopped for ice at a different convenience store and saw the same. I didn't wear a mask either.

He is going to frame it in a nice 8x10 😃

I was going to go into a gun store in Sidney a couple of weeks ago, they had signage on the door, so I drove off.

Well, aren't you Mr. immunity. You are in a race with Wabigoon to post the most worthless threads here and you are winning.

Damn... yet another Communist telling people what the CAN and CANNOT post...

Fughing wannabe Joseph Stalin...

They don't here either... Bascially, about 75%+ folks here do not wear 'em - tacitly telling Govy Evers to GFY..

Mask mandate here in Pa. It's a waste of governance. Maybe 50 percent compliance at best. I work in home health care and wear one anytime I'm around people. Wear a face shield in addition with patients. Hope for the day I can ditch that stuff.

I bought a 10yr old girl a pack of Newports and a big bottle of Vodka yesterday at the gas station... rules are for pussy commies, live free or die suckers!!

LGS or anyplace else, the BUSINESS OWNER dictates policy, not the gooberner or mayor.

IF the business requires a mask AND I want to spend my $$ there, i wear a mask.

Nice to see you’re finally coming around....

I went to a gun shop in a small Texas town recently and nobody had a mask on. They real a good inventory of firearms and a good supply of gun powder too. They probably had primers but I didn't think to check, I will next time. They had a kiosk for ordering suppressors, my kind of gun shop.

The range near me (between Bozeman and Belgrade) requires masks. It's an indoor range with a powerful filtration system, but I guess Bullock's henchmen gave them an ultimatum. It's ridiculous, but they are very strict and I am not going to cause them trouble by being the guy who argues about a rule (I do that for a living, so no freebies).

Gun shop here has a sign on the door stating that masks MUST be removed before entering and are not allowed!

Despite Gubernor Andy's royal decree..

Sevastopol: I wear a mask INTO all business's but when I see the employees NOT wearing them and everyone else in the store is not wearing them I remove mine.
Of course I live in a remote corner of'de world and only 17 "cases" of the china wuhan red death reported in this county I live in, to date.
I have bought 6 (six) guns in the last three weeks in 3 (three) different gunshops and none of the shops had employees with masks on during this time. Two of those gunshops earlier in the year did have their employees/owners wearing masks.
I should NOT gamble with my health at my age (73)?
I do wash my hands often both with sanitizer and/or hot water and soap.
God Bless all LGS's.

P.S.: Just remembered one of the three gunshops I recently frequented is in the adjoining county (Madison county) to mine.

Don’t you live in Maryland?

LOL

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, we will show that an adult named Ejp bought the 10-year old girl a quart of vodka that let her get drunk and stagger into the traffic where a semi killed her. We demand the maximum penalty for contributing to the delinquency of a minor and accessory to murder."

Dumb jerk!

Not interested in hearing about the latest victim of "Uncle Badtouch."

They likely wondered what you intended to do with the mask you were holding in your hand. Probably come in handy in an 'emergency'.

As it should be.
