He said metal dog is closed on Monday.

Then he said that this guy had not yet made any arrangements.

Where is the bad mouthing?

I was at VA Friday afternoon around 3pm and met with Paul to process my refund for a SSE transfer. While I was there, he mentioned he is only at Valkyrie Arms on weekdays (M-F), so he would not be there at all during the weekend. Hopefully this will save a few people from a long and futile drive trying to catch Paul at VA on Sunday.

He also said he will be delivering a batch of guns to Metal Dog Tactical himself on Monday, as it'll be faster and cheaper, and will reach out to the owners once that's done. [/QUOTE]

Very interesting, as Metal Dog Tactical is closed on Mondays. Paul has not made any arrangements with us regarding this "delivery" on Monday.

that's what I was told, so I don't know if he is aware that MDT is closed on Monday. but hopefully he'll contact MDT to make arrangements before he heads over with the guns and find closed doors with noone inside.

Folks,

I know I've reached out to everyone that has PM'd me and I believe that some of the cases have already been resolved.

So if you have gun that has been DROS'd and you waiting for pick up you can now send an e-mail to pickups.policesupply@gmail.com to schedule a pickup.

Please use returns.valkyriearms@gmail.com for other questions about refunds

you also can continue to PM and i'll try to help.

I just got off the phone with squackatu. He was able to tell me my SN on my pistol so he is definitely working with the VA shop and not out to get your information in any way. I'd recommend PMing him as it sounds like they're working it out now.

I wouldn't be in his shoes, because that's not how we run Metal Dog Tactical. We've never taken payment or even a deposit for a firearms that is out of stock & cannot be ordered immediately. We've deliberately never had or wanted partners. MDT is owned by 2 people, myself & my husband. We started small & are very focused on our market and goals. Our business does not involve a lot of SSE. Every gun store is run differently. It is not my responsibility to reach out to Paul. He has a monumental task ahead of him because of Valkyrie's owners. This is Valkyrie's mess. There, I said it. We're sympathetic to Valkyrie customers who are caught up in all this, and we've even discounted our FFL transfer fees for these customers. In every instance we've been asked to help, we have done our best to have shipments diverted. When we've received a firearm from Valkyrie, we've contacted the owners immediately to being DROS. I've refrained from commenting or publishing my opinions about this entire situation, even though we've received a lot of first-hand information. The bottom line is that if Paul made arrangements in advance, regarding the Monday delivery, I wouldn't even be posting. I should be thankful to Paul for all "the customers he is generating"? Wow. I, like many other people out there, wish this Valkyrie mess never happened. And if you think by referring to this situation as a "mess", I am bad mouthing them, then so be it. It looks like that from every angle.

Paul is an Outside auditor and has nothing to do with Valkyrie he actually had nothing but great things to say about you and says he has even had work done at your shop so all I am is saying please understand with all going on for him please be simpathatic to his situation not make him look like a idiot on here

[PinkStock]

Don't you think he should check with us first, before telling customers about a delivery? I know exactly what his role is. I should not have said anything at all about being closed on Monday. Lesson learned.

you claim to be a owner at Metal Dog act like a business professional you can point fingers like a child or help Paul is in investigations due to a restructure in ownership he is not a related to Valkyrie

it worries me your interested in clearing your name more than just helping out the customers you are going to be getting cause one day this similar situation
me being a gun buyer and owner frankly wonder why anyone would wanna do business with such a unprofessional person

Her name doesn't need clearing, she said they were closed Monday & you have been trying to spin it into an attack.

Just odd One gets booted, and the new one seems to have equally exceptional typing skill..

I stand corrected

[PinkStock]

Next time I will just let the misinformation fly. Yes, it was unprofessional of ME to state our store hours and that no arrangements have been made. Clearing our name? That really shows a lack of understanding on your part.

That's ok, I don't think anyone else here wants to do business with you either.

It is good to see everyone is so passionately sharing info and opinion about this VA shop issue. It means we need more shops/competition in the local market place so bad shops can go out of business quickly and good shops can thrive more with better selection and price.

Bases on what everyone who have been to the store saying... if Paul is not a store employee nor owner, what the heck is he doing accessing customers' info and handling customers firearms?? Him having any access without any official responsibility of the store is another violation of data privacy, a serious regulatory issue, IMHO. Where is the owner or manger of VA? Not a single person mentioned they have spoken with the current owner or manager or actual employee since the whole mess happened over 10 days ago.

yup, better for Paul to try to deliver the firearms tomorrow and nobody be there. And after those handguns aren't delivered, you know that you would have customers showing up during the week (maybe even on monday) expecting to find their handguns at MDT. I'd bet that when they are told that their handgun isn't at MDT, that some of those customers will be upset with MDT, even though it wasn't MDT's fault.

So, yes, better to not say anything about you being closed tomorrow and that Paul hasn't made arrangements to make that Monday delivery that he has mentioned to others.
