GUN STORE ETIQUETTE (revised)

[joepamjohn]

And I have a few words for you as a gun dealer.

CUSTOMER SERVICE, CUSTOMER SERVICE, CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Ditto... based on the op's post I 'll bet you are in for a real good time in his store.

[TheRossRocket]

"Firearms are called either: RIFES"
Little spelling error.

Thank you.

Oh please...

Just because someone complains about D-Bag customers on his off-time doesn't mean he gives bad customer service.

I could rant for hours about the constant stream of Filipino's that come in with illegal configurations, LEO's who do the same outside of their exemptions, and wannabe thugs who come in to look at the AK's smelling of weed and booze.

Not every customer is a daisy.

For both sides of the Sales Counter.. How about leave all the 4 letter words out of your conversation. Really ticks me off the go into a store w/ wife/daughter/other women in the same store & hear the f-word. Makes you sound like an F-ing moron!

I agree. Ever ask one of the "stinkers" to leave? I have a real low tolerance of stinkers & guns.

+1

And stop spreading FUD.

And what does it matter if I dress like a hood? I cannot own firearms because I wear Dodger or Raider or Laker jerseys and have tattoos?? Lame.

It can be worded better.

It really doesn't matter strictly on what you look like but the combination of looks and actions do.

(and everyone has a their own interpretation of what a hoodlum looks like.)

Maybe not, but every customer is a customer, and deserves to be treated with respect. Something that is totally lacking in about 90% of all gun shops.

AGREED!

AGREED!

I love me some sailor spit. But unless you are exclusively in the company of age old friends, it comes off as very unintelligent.


theres an old quote, i forget who initially coined it but : "swear words are a omission on behalf of the speaker; they are neither well versed nor well read for if they were - they would not need a swear word"

You definetly have some valid points! but we all know how the government can act when it has a little "PMS".

That's why we have the CGF, it's resources, as well as many other attorneys out there.

But that also means (at least to have the support of the CGF) that we have to keep our noses clean, as well as stand up for our rights.
If my wife lets a cop in the door, it's a whole different ballgame and the cops have Reggie Jackson batting.

I have had plenty of them come in but I have never asked them to leave based on the smell of booz and weed.

One did try to bribe me with weed, to see if I could check if he was eligible to own a firearm.

IMO there are know it all people on both sides of the counter. IF you want me for a customer easiest way to keep me in the store is to simly say "ill be with you in a moment." And then actually follow through. i cant tell you how many times ive gone in a store and got the ill be with you and a moment turns into 20 minutes. now if you are actually busy that wouldn't bother me that much I can keep myself entertained but when I hear you in the back yammering with the other guys and playing grab azz well thats gonna tick me off.
And then please dont give me story of why this is not a good gun and I should buy this one ( that BTW is 2+x as much as what I was actually looking for)
As for the Thug looking guy i dont judge anyone by how they dress/look/ Ive seen the biggest shyster thieves with a Armani suit and a leather briefcase.

Did you tell him that he can do that himself?

I had prepared myself to tell a couple of guys "I'm sorry, but I won't be able to sell this to you" that STUNK of weed. I mean, worse than I've ever smelled. We had to air out the show room after they left it was so bad.

Fortunately, I never had to tell them I couldn't sell the gun because they didn't try to buy it. They looked at the Draco pistol and drooled for a bit, but then left after a few minutes on their own.

I agree.

I am not on commission, therefore I have no reason to push you towards a more expensive firearm but towards one I feal is better based on your needs or interests.
