Virginia – -(Ammoland.com)- Virginia Citizens Defense League member Carter Garnett, sent me a photo of a “no guns” sign which says, “No concealed weapons allowed on this property,” which is posted on the door of Pelican Products in Front Royal, Va.
Pelican Products produces custom cases and inserts for guns and other items. The cases are designed on the Internet by the client and the resulting inserts are then shipped to the client.
I contacted a manager, who was polite and professional.
He said that Pelican is not open to the public the way a store in a mall would be. Generally the only customers who come into the facility are larger clients with an appointment.
The sign is there because they’ve had problems with people from “agencies” leaving loaded guns on their property.
Since this doesn’t affect gun owners generally, Virginia Citizens Defense League is not going to pursue the matter very far. All I am going to do is suggest they ask corporate if this wording would be acceptable: “LOADED firearms MUST remain holstered at all times on this property.”

Star light gun cases, good bye pelican
from agencies?..and this is the only people the democrats want armed ?..how about checkin guns at counter, pick em up when ya leave???
Sooooo…..no revolvers allowed, my 1911 is not a problem then. What….I’m supposed to be a mind reader & assume that their sign with no accompanying text means ‘all’ firearms? I think not. Their sign depicts ‘revolvers not allowed’.
Pelican’s position seems to be that they sell (at this location) only to wholesale or “agency” buyers. Now tell me how this sign works. Cop, Fibie, TSA agent arrive at the facility carrying duty weapons. They see the sign. They disarm themselves, putting their weapons in their cars. They then enter the premises. Yeh Right!!!! How many of these types do you see obeying the premises sign that says no weapons? Those signs are for civilians aren’t they? They don’t apply to me because I’m a professional and never shoot myself. Yeh Right !!! And because I’m in law enforcement… Read more »
How about, “NOTICE ANY FIREARMS LEFT ON THIS PROPERTY(loaded or unloaded) WILL BE DEEMED ABANDONED AND BECOMES OUR PROPERTY AT CLOSING TIME TO DISPOSE OF AS WE SEE FIT.”
They would be better off banning air marshals, FBI agents and Homeland security agents. Just this week another air marshal left her loaded gun in a airplane restroom.
It says no concealed carry what about open carry?
Everyone has the right to express their feelings. However, I will no longer consider any of Pelican’s products although they are generally excellent quality.
Never did like Pelican, mainly because their size options are not useful.
Still, it IS sad to see a manufacturer of products fairly well respected amongst gun owners demanding no one have guns on their property.
Makes me glad I don’t carry a revolver or own a Pelican case.
