No Taking Pictures Inside Turners?

[Milsurps]

Come on guys.. quite playing checkers and start playing CHESS! No taking pictures policies allows them to keep the anti gun press from coming into the stores to conduct inflammatory interviews of gun buyers. It also helps assure YOUR anonymity as a gun store patron, keeping your photo off social media and the news.

^^ definitely this!

Besides, I don't care if it's Turners or Target I don't want some fool taking pics of me.

I've been to many GS and only one allowed ANY photography. My local tabletop will allow a Pic of my new toy on the floor before going to Jail.


Common folks think it through.

Instead of that, say "Shame, I was gonna buy that M1A, the FN FS2000, and a fully loaded Wilson Combat 1911".

That's what I usually do when some gun store gets snotty.

How hard do you think that guys behind the counter laugh at that one when they see you get in your 2001 Civic to drive off?

So I was inside a Turners yesterday, just to look around. I noticed they had the DP-12 Shotgun inside their display case. I wanted to take a picture with my cell phone to send it to my friend whose actually interested in buying one, but suddenly a sales person said, "Sorry, you can't take pictures." I asked why but he just replied, "It's store policy" and walked away. Can some one explain the reason for this? I later looked on their website and saw they had the same price I saw inside their display case, so it's not like it's a secret or anything. I just thought that was a weird policy.

This bothers you?! Seriously?

For so many possible reasons why they do not allow it and I commend them.

Any small business owner can put themselves in their shoes and easily understand why.

Someone may be casing the joint.

Someone may be an anti gunner and wants to catch them doing something that can be viewed as illegal.

I could go on . . .

I respect people's places of business and if I ever wanted to take a picture, I ask someone if I may. I am way more surprised when they allow me to.

OP, rather than ask the peanut gallery for their guesses to your question,
why don't you post your question on the Turner's Forum right here on Calguns?

someone mentioned robbery; or you're an anti about to bash them on facebook for their gunviolence murder device they'll sell to anyone off the street that shoots 30 round clips in 1 second.

When ever I make a purchase of any firearm I take pics of 4 angles front back and each side .
Hard to fight a shop if some Moron drops your gun while playing with it . And yes I caught a issue once . But the shop was cool and offered me a deal on something . With out pics how would you argue this . And is the shop had a range on site I would be more inclined to take pics as far as taking mags and what not same thing. I take them all . Shop wants to argue later I'll purchase somewhere else .

For security reasons obviously...

Pretty much this. They don't want anybody to case the joint for weak spots.

LOL Its not as bad as Dunkin Doughnuts in South Korea.

I was yelled at for taking a picture of a doughnut in the shape of a bear in the display case.

Turner's will not let you take any pics at all, even if you already purchased it and are taking pictures for your record, or just something to stare at for 10 days.

It's hit or miss by location. While I've said before that I haven't bought anything from Turners in a great while, the Signal Hill store DID let me take photos of a consignment gun I bought from them after I 4473/DROSed it.

I asked politely and even said I wanted to post pics of it on Calguns. Dude was cool about it, didn't even quibble. But if I wasn't buying, I'm sure he would have said no. I would have said no too.

Too many wierdos taking pics of everything now days with ulterior motives, to spread FUD or even plan a theft. Like Ronin2 said, if it keeps the leftist press away, I'm OK with it too.

So I was inside a Turners yesterday....

Oh, and not really fond of your Avatar, even if it's an illustration. So much wrong with it right out of the gate.

With only 3 posts, if you don't hear it from me now, it might come up for conversation later.

1911: cool
M1A: very cool
FN FS 2000: gross


as for the pictures, they don't know what you're going to do with those pics of who you're sending them to. maybe you're setting up for a robbery or...???
can't blame them really

Because you won't know what's on the wall without pictures...

But you have no problem being recorded by numerous cameras in the street, store and parking lot.

I do NOT drive a 2001 Civic. It's a 2002!
