GUNSHOP MACHO TURN-OFF

[Kid Stanislaus]

I don't know what gun shops some of you people are partonizing but I'm here to tell ya that in these parts that sort of thing is rare and my experiences in the local gunshops has been, by in large, very positive.

I am right with everybody else. I am still steaming on the arrogance and attitude I received when I purchased my Remington 700 Varmint at Fowler's. They are way too pricey for my taste but they were the only one around that had this model. The salesman had a "my !?#* don't stink" attitude and I just got one word answers throughout my buyout process. I am still debating on complaining to the owner or manager and tell him I will never buy a gun in there if that same salesman is employed with them. Do any of you know the managers name or owner of Fowler's? It pisses me off that I just gave them $800 to receive that kind of attitude!

When I was younger and somebody gave me attitude I made sure I gave it back to them 10 fold.Now that I'm a little older and and a little more mellow I realize what a waste of time it was for me to stoop to their level.These days if someone gives me attitude I just smile and be glad that I'm not as miserable as they are.I have no problem letting the other guy be right,makes life a lot easier.

just tell them to go and F themselves and walk out. If their not nice, they dont get my money! Demand to see a manager and tell them about it as well. Money trumps all!

If I have a question, I ask it on the forum and get a lot more intelligent answer than at a gun store...

San Diego gunshop thread about horrible customer service... AGAIN what a surprise!

Support shops that dont treat the customer like a pain in the behind!

In San Diego I have always been treated well by:

Gussler's (Santee *Transfers ONLY*)

Quantico Tactical (Oceanside *Handguns and Tons of AR parts NO Lowers*)

Royal Loan (San Diego *OLL friendly Gun and Pawn Shop El Cajon Bl. area*)


*** If you REALLY want to have the ULTIMATE gun buying experience and uncommon customer service that SD can NEVER match go see Chris @ Bright Spot Pawn in Riverside. ***

what about Hoytee toytee know it all young asian guy syndrome ?

[Nodda Duma]

I kind of wonder if many of those with grumpy attitudes are those who tried to turn a hobby into a business, but lack the business sense to stay sane.

Geocaching supplies equals GPS and ...?
Ammo boxes? Cheap crap to put in the ammo boxes and hide in the woods?

Some people think it's a status symbol to work in a gun shop. The guy that runs the college gun range here is like that. Freemason, NRA instructor, Glock armorer, AR15 armorer, range chief- all because of titles. He admitted to me that he just joined the Freemasons because he thought it made him superior to everyone else. Wow.

My friend called me in a panic on Friday, the "gun expert" at Turners in San Bernadino told him ALL handguns were going to be banned in December. I have noticed this syndrome seems to be really bad at the chain gun shops.

OH GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOO

I was at a store and Mr Know it all was pushing a keltec su16ca on some guy. I asked the guy what he was looking for and he said an AK. I told him about Saigas and the Mr Know it all told the dude he would go to jail if he listened to me. If I knew what I was talking about I would be on the other side of the counter, and then he rolled his eyes when I asked about KABOOMS with the Keltec. I wanted to snatch his eyes right out of his skull. The guy walked out I told him to go to I.A. inFremont
