I remember this the one time I actually purchased a handgun in there, and was reminded again tonight when I was just browsing.
So the Rural King property in Terre Haute butts up against an elementary school on the back side.
A lady was going to purchase a rifle as a christmas present and the guy behind the counter tells her:
"Well just so you know, since were right next to a school zone you're required to take this out of the store in a locked hard case, and this gun doesn't come in a hard case so you will have to buy one to take it out in, OR go home and get your own. Once you get it in your car you can just take it out and bring the case back in for a refund".
I've looked and am 100% convinced this is a bogus thing made up by the store, or the corporation. So has anyone ever heard of this before?
I don't even know how they can get away with it. It's almost like forcing someone to buy something they don't need, and of course they have a TON of plastic hard cases right there too
