[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Shooters Outpost (from their Facebook)

Posted: 11/28/2016 5:45:02 PM EDT

On Saturday November 26th at 17:28, we had three customers & one employee say that they smelled a strong odor of marajuana on a man. When approached, he pointed to his daughter (who he informed us after the fact was 15) and said "it must be her." The man was asked to leave the store by one of our employees, as it is Federal Law not to sell firearms and/or ammunition to someone suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

On Sunday morning, we discovered many negative reviews from all over the country accusing my employee of grabbing the customer by the jacket, and using vulgar language in front of his daughter. He went on to say "they couldn't tell the difference from cigarettes and dog odor to "weed."

We spoke with our employee, and pulled video of the encounter. We do have over 80 cameras covering the store and building exterior. The customer was treated with the utmost dignity and respect throughout the incident. This man lied on multiple online gun forums to make people angry enough to send negative reviews even though they have never stepped foot into our store.

We always treat people with respect, even ones that we refuse to serve. Again, out of respect for him, we won't post his name or video here, the firearms community does a great job taking care of people that lie to them, as he did to us.

what is the case law on posting video of an interaction on the internet... I don't think they have a case against shooters.

Pot smell must be coming from my 15 year old daughter. Now can I buy a gun or not ? lol

Responsible parenting at its best.

Saw the video and the guy pretty much just side stepped around them and was professional about it. I guess the guy apologized and back pedaled on his statements but still an asshole thing to do.

As a loyal customer of Shooter's Outpost, I have to say that Jim himself has treated me, and my now 9 year old son very nicely over the past 4 or 5 years (or however many years they've been in business now). I buy all my loading components there, loaded ammo, and several firearms to date. They've earned my complete trust and whatever they do as store policy, is OK with me. After all it's a private business. A quick story, my son made the front page of Hawkeye News last year. We were there buying primers and powder and he saw the paper by the door with his lil face on it. He grabbed a copy and showed the girl at the counter, and Jim, in a wheel chair at the time wheeled over and made such a big deal when he saw my son on there. He gave him stickers and a Shooters Outpost shirt, and Nick told him about the hunt and how he got his shells there pointing over to the ammo section. Jim is a very nice man, and the real deal who made a little boys day, and his Dad's day too. You always hear the negative things but I wanted to post a positive one. If you come across this Jim, thank you again. I can't say enough good about you, your staff, and your business! -Mike Flores

Nice story. I don't think I have an ill word to speak of Jim. A month or so ago I was in the Outpost. He came up shook my hand and called me by my first name. We probably hadn't spoken in a year. I'm not a regular by any means, mostly because I'm lazy and don't drive up that way too often. But I was impressed he remembered my name. There's a reason he's been so successful.

Huh? What's this about Jim being in a wheel chair??

I was at SO last month while on vacation up there and Carey was just in the doorway getting ready to leave. We talked with her for a bit and she told me that we missed Jim by ~1 hour. They are really good people and I enjoy doing business with them when I'm up in their area.

I think he had hurt his ankle a while back. He's better now.

It actually happened a year or so ago now. He was climbing down a ladder deer stand and landed wrong on it. Was off his feet for quite a while, he's all good now though.

Wait until you guys see what they have planned there. A new building about the same size on the same piece of land, the foundation is already in place.
It's going to add a few new elements to Shooters, including archery and possibly a small NFA/Machine Gun museum. Supposed to start in the spring and they're shooting for an October 2017 opening.

This sums it up best.
SO has the right - and obligation - to not sell to anyone who is drunk, high or outside of their right mind.

Went there today, almost pulled the trigger on a Sig SBR, they pay the tax stamp.
It was well worth the trip down.
