Cabela's policy ... by looks only?

[SLToronto]

My daughter (waiting for her RPAL) and I went to Cabela's in Barrie yesterday

The idea was to check out some new for both of us pistols, how well their grips will fit in her hands and get some idea of their sights and feel triggers..

The store employees said that while I could handle the pistols, I could not check triggers as the store policy doesn't allow removing locks ..

She could not even touch pistol's grips while me holding a gun - again, the store policy ...

Buy by the looks?

Any other stores with similar policies?

Should have asked them if they'd buy a car without getting inside it first. Cabelas has always been a disappointment ime, crowded, unhelping staff, over priced and under stocked. better than WSS i guess. Being a backwater pecker wood bill of the hills i was really excited the first time i went, what a let down.

Maybe someone in your area could point you to a real gun store?

The Cabela's here is always well stocked , and the sales staff have always tried to help when asked . Being a large chain , I can understand wanting to keep the trigger locks on in case someone tried to slip some ammo into the chamber as you never know when some whack job is going to stroll into the store , and decide to play Scarface . I suspect that liability and safety issues are a priority at a large chain store like Cabela's .

Ammo is available in the customer area along with magazines.......so not a bad idea keeping trigger lock on.
