Do you suppose they were inline for that $1.50 hot dog?

This is how care free I violated Costcos weapons policy today as I ordered a slice of pizza.

It's a decent hot dog...Pepsi's trash though. $1.50, you can't beat it.

Story is a cautionary tale of why a purse gun needs to be in a holster, preferably in an immobilized state where it can't be bounced around.

Of course I am amazed at the lack of common sense. The trigger needs to be protected at all times when carrying.

I didn't know that Costco had a weapons policy. I did not see a sign when I went in the Rockwall Costco last week.

Costco has some cool deals, and the food court is very cheap. I'm not a huge fan of the $1.50 hot dog, and especially because it comes with Pepsi products, but I can't argue with the price. It is funny - and irritating - at the spots in the store where they have someone handing out free samples of some food product. People will crowd in and knock each other out of their way for a bit of cheese on a corn chip. Last time I was there, they had some kind of fake bacon. It made me laugh because I thought about an episode of Parks & Recreation where the legendary Ron Swanson is offered a "vegan bacon" sample. (click link)

Same at Katy. The pizza is good too.

I thought the membership agreement at both Costco and Sams says no firearms though nothing is posted at the entrance. I'm not 100% certain since signing up for a Sams card doesn't require you to review/approve any agreement.

 

[Fishkiller]

Costco does not have signs posted. But if you are verbally told that no guns allowed then it is the same as a sign. Also Costco policy is no guns allowed except for law enforcement. So I guess you can carry until a Costco employee tells you not to.

Cool life hack:

If you have a Costco gift card, you can shop there without a membership- it gets you in the door. Have a friend/relative buy a few $20 gift cards for you to get you in the door. Your total purchase can then be over that amount.

Any y'all remember Price Club? That is the grand-daddy of these membership stores.

We had a member a couple of years ago get notified he couldn’t carry at Costco, but he was open carrying. Concealed is concealed, never had an issue at Costco or Sams.

 

[KTXdm9]

Have you guys been to a Costco lately? They are busy as hell. None of their employees have time to give you the eagle eye to see if you are carrying and probably don't care anyway. Plus, they want your money.

Was at Costco yesterday renewing membership and getting some necessities (eggs are $10 for 5 dozen right now vs $18 for same at HEB...)

Also grabbed two full pizzas for dinner + got ice cream for the wifey and I. She had a hotdog, and I got a slice of cheese pizza as well (Pizza overload, but we have a teenager that sometimes eats for two, and her mom *always* eats for 2 or 3...)

And yes, I was carrying. Ain't see no signs, ain't looking for no signs.

Accidental discharge of a gun in purse makes you a careless stupid possesor of a firearm.
