New Cabelas Store near Denver, could it be canceled?

Tom is right, but I do see FQ's position re state residents. It's not a matter of price as much as it is a matter of principle. I will not support businesses that either promote or quietly acquiesce to the gun control lobbies. The only way I can express this is by boycotting those businesses that do so. I publicize this as much as I can to state and local representatives so they understand that there are consequences to their actions. Money is the only thing they understand, so money is what I withhold from them.

In two respects, I am fortunate to live in MD: (1) the prices are high here (due to taxation without representation--e.g. $30 annual "flush" tax for my septic system) and the added travel adds little to the overall cost of doing business out of state, and (2) the damn state is so small that travel distances to out-of-state sources is not a problem. I have ceased to buy shooting supplies via the internet because MD collect sales taxes and therefor records the transaction, besides "you know who" is watching. Am I shooting myself in the foot by doing this? Yes, but better my foot than my freedom!

How do you ship anything?

Both UPS and FedEX follow all the legal restrictions in place for shipping firearms and will probably continue to do business in states that are working to increase their firearms regulations.

I guess not using the Post Office is a given.

I hear that Cabelas has a new store planned for the North end of Denver along I-25 but have no idea how far along the project is. I am curious if it is still in the planning stages if they could be convinced to cancel it and tell Colorado to pound sand.  That would be another big bite in the butt for the Denver elite in terms of tax revenue and jobs lost.  I will be glad to go up to Sidney Nebraska and patronize that store instead. Anyone know how far along the denver store project is?  Also, I can't seem to find a way to contact the corporate officers directly, all e-mail access is geared toward customer service, jobs, and that kind of thing. No options for general questions or comments like this one.   

Talking with guy @ work and he told me Cabala's has built down south along I-25 & Lincoln, I haven't verified it yet. He said the bldg. is almost done and about the size of Bass Pro out by Dicks Sport fields @ north east Denver.
