    Gun shops

    Is it me???
    Why is it that I walk into a gunshop and the sales force have a terrible time seeing through my invisibility cloak, I'm polite clean looking not a kid anyway
    Are all gunshops trained to be rude and ignore possible customers??
    I hope I didn't open a can of worms

    The whole "dominate" thing dont work for me. Clean cut, hands outta pockets, no Bulky Clothing, decent Credit, a Job, lol. I always give them the benefit of the doubt too...I GET IT, they deal with Idiots looking Sketchy, POOR Gun handling etc...

    Anyone can get an Attitude & to a Certain extent, working at a Gunstore COULD be tough. No excuses, they know who`s sketchy & who isnt. For the "you never know who" guys, they`re part of the problem.
    Yes I took the pic, no I didn't go swimming!

      If you're USMC, go in wearing your BDU and see what happens.

              How bout giving your location and we can direct you to helpful shops.

              In San Diego, everyone at Project 2000 has ALWAYS been quick to ask me what they could do for me. Always quick to show you a firearm.

              Parallax is good to but a victim of their own success, sometimes can be VERY busy in there and can be several minutes until you are helped.

                Never been to P2K, but Parallax is good. I have never been there where they were that busy. Also Direct Action Solutions in Solana Beach is great. And Wiser Owl just opened by Miramar. They have amazing FFL Transfer prices.

                  Ammo Brothers is a very good shop. They have a number system, go in, take a number and you get helped when you're number is next. Great system and it works well!

                    You need to go in with a hand full of $100 bills, waive them in the air and yell as loud as possible "I HAVE MONEY AND I AM READY TO BUY!!!"

                        He's new. Be patient and welcoming. Plus, the search function leaves a lot to be desired. About the worse one I've ever seen.

                          i suggest you do a search here on Calguns; the topic of gunshops (good and bad) has been covered here many times over, and i'm sure you'll find your effort rewarded with valuable information.

                          in my neck of the woods, there are a few shops that stand out for my liking. i appreciate the great treatment that has been extended to me at Bain and Davis Gun Shop (san gabriel) and at Alamo Jewelry & Loan (west covina).

                            I've been to a few firearm related shops and beside the firing line most LGS treat me like a pariah. funny thing is they never get my money, the ones i've been to that i like i was/am loyal to. Still sucks that my favorite FFL went under.

                            Alpha male syndrome is all i can say man, just keep searching till you find a good FFL.

                              Really the only shop that I find the employees act like the customers are hassling them is turners. Which is one of the many reasons I no longer buy guns from them and rarely buy ammo. There is also another shop off the 78 that was extremely overpriced with a bunch of employees that didn't seem to want to do anything but read magazines and talk to eachother.

                              For any security guards, LEO, or military I highly recommend Emergency Equipment Engineering Co. in San Diego. Very helpful, knowledgeable staff I wish they offered more guns/services I would buy everything from them.
                              Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.
