Cabela's has locked up all their ammo

[gmerkt]

I was in Cabela's Tulalip store today. As the thread title says, they've locked up all their ammo in glass cases now. You have to find an attendant to open one up, then after they take out (and hold onto) what you want to buy, they take you up to a retail counter to pay. If the gun counter registers are busy, they walk you up to the front of the store to pay. VERY inconvenient.

My last trip to Sportsmans Warehouse, they'd moved all the ammo behind a counter and you have to ask a clerk for it, then they ring it up at the gun counter. It looked to me like they'd set up a new register to do this.

So this may have something to do with "loss control" but I think it has more to do maybe with new Wash. laws? I haven't read through the text of the law that imposes new regs coming into effect soon for gun and ammo dealers.

I'm still trying to get caught up on all the potential gun legislation coming down the pipeline. Have new regulations already been approved here that will impact the sale of ammo?

They are getting ready for the ammo back ground check.

I was a district manager for sportsmans back in the early 2000s. I remember the theft back then, I can't even imagine now

Was at Cab's in Springfield on Saturday. Ammo not locked up. Line to buy guns was long.

Ammo is incredibly valuable. Surprised it took a chain store this long to do it.

Sportsman's in Bend still had it on the regshelves on Friday.

Still on the floor/shelves in Lacey...

It's loss prevention related. Locations with high theft are moving to this method of prevention.

It took someone ripping off one of their stories on the right coast to the tune of half a million dollars worth of ammo in a short amount of time, and then getting sued by the government for not securing it.

I don't blame the store one bit! I blame the thievin' little bastages that feel entitled to anything that's not bolted down, and that includes the politicians.

I went to Cabela's Tulalip store about a month ago and some ammo was not locked up. I bought a few boxes of 22lr while I was there. But they had a bunch stolen on the right coast as some else said.

At bimart you have to walk through a little gate to get to the ammo.

Occasionally they forget to unlock the gate, if I don't feel like jumping it, I head over to aisle 18 and grab one of these. Picking up the sleeves of primers with this thing takes some practice.
