Nothing wrong with ripping on gun stores if the reason is FUD, willful ignorance, intentionally bad service or going out of there way to be hostile over any of those issues on top of it - which some have an art for doing.
It's THEIR industry, so they are supposed to know the law better than the every-day consumer. When they don't, and ramp it up by arguing it rather than researching something brought to their attention, there's no excuse for that approach. And it happens a lot.
So if they are going to be intentionally dfficult in private, and offer no concern or open ear for a path to get it right, then I see no qualms about making that public. Maybe the next customer will be spared the hassle.
And come to think of it, if they are going to be that stubborn - fine - you're helping that store, you're sparing the gun store the hassle of wasting their time on another customer asking the same question, to also be followed with calling them out on their bullcrap.
So posting this here, they'll hopefully have a lot less customers wasting their valuable time asking them to order a Mossberg 990. It's to their benefit - it gives them more time to sell off their inventory of SIG 320s.
At the same time I'm very forgiving and will come to their defense over technical errors, paperwork errors, inventory errors, timing errors, website errors, high prices, legal fees they are allowed to charge, credit-card use fees, struggling with problems created by our legislators and/or the DOJ, even misinterpretation of the law IF in fact they are willing to listen and try to understand why they have it wrong.
It goes both ways too - I'm quite harsh on customers being jackasses that don't know the law especially if they make it public.
But there's no excuse for nonsense and belligerance piled on irrational FUD or just outrageous striving to be stupid.
