Support local shops?

[pacifico23]

I try to. Most large purchases are through local shops, or if I need a quick part. But I am also very budget friendly. If I buy online, I will buy from a California online company like riflegear, solar tactical, gunsafari to still support ca companies. My go to is Addax for my local shop. Best customer service I have found at any gunshop near me. When Im spending hundereds if not a couple thousand dollars somewhere, I expect some customer service.

Ammo. I buy online or an gunshows. so cal ammo is too expensive and walmarts that stock ammo are like 40 min from me.

I do the same thing you do and tend to spend more of my money at local family shops and small businesses.



but sometimes.... I just can't ignore wally world

I support shops because they offer good products, fair prices, and great customer service. If my local shop can do this I will support them, if not I won't.

Was looking for a 200 count bag of ear plugs for the next range session($20 on Amazon). Went to a local shop that I like a lot but they didn't have those bulk packs. Just bought $5 2-pack and a shop tee for another $10. The sticker price on the plugs was $5 but I realized a few min. ago that I was charged $7.99. Oh well, $3 donation

I have a 20% rule.

That is my rule too.

My local gun shops:
TDS: SLOW (incompetence) and rude
Sac Black Rifle: Slow (busy)
River City: Salesman had to ask the difference between 5.56 and .223 and then couldn't find it.

Lately I find stuff on line and have it shipped to a local FFL that works out of his home.

Serious? TDS is busy... Incompetent? NO WAAY you SOO off base with THAT comment.. Rude? There was one rude guy who got fired for stealing but all the rest are super cool...

SBR and RCG? Not sure..

I somewhat agree with the incompetent comment. I've only been to TDS once, I asked if they could get me a Stag 2T with the plus package. The salesman had the deer in the headlights look, never heard of the plus package. After I explained what the plus package was he went in the back to find out if they could order it. 20 minutes later someone else came out & told me that I couldn't get that rifle in California. I smiled told him he need to check his facts & left haven't been back since & dont have any plans to. California Tactical the new store in Roseville is way better in my opinion.

I do what I can

If they have what I want, and I can pick it up and hold it

I figure that's worth a little extra

^Cuz one salesman is was wrong or didn't know something you don't go there? Lol anyway looks like your promoting for another store is more what that is about... lol

I support & buy firearms from two LGS but let's say I'm looking for a
Streamlight TLR-1.

LGS - $150.00 + tax
Online - $100.00 no tax/free shipping.

Bet your #$$ I'm buying it online.

I support my lcoal shops as much as I can (about 5). Usually, I only order online if they can't or won't stock something I want to buy. I usually give them the opportunity to complete the deal first.

Only if the shop is one of my favorites. The shops with the overprice items and azzhole employees/ owners I never step foot in. I would rather see them fall then grow. Its like whats the point to supporting them when they're just in to make a few bucks and little care for our 2a rights in this ********* state.

Small shops who support the people around them I will pay the extra money. Shops that employ jerks or who have no respect for their customers get nothing from me.
