FYI, just a personal peeve of mine.
When the family opened the first one in Cincinnati I stopped in as the NRA election coordinator for Cincy during the Bush election to meet them and provide them voter guides and other election swag. The founder Tom Willingham refused to put out any election information because "we don't want to be political" WTF how does any firearm business "not be political"?!? But they have managed to do very well since then with like a dozen shops across the midwest. Their main focus seems to be 'we are a retail store that happens to sell guns', not 'a gun store that is an asset to 2A community' JLE |

Quoted: Stopped by Monday... they had about 10 Smith AR's M4 style 800.00 and had a fair amount of other guns as well. I did not see any ammo at all .. They had these Berretta M9 knock offs Turkey made. like 400 bucks. I almost picked one up for grins. Nice guys in there they like to talk shop... I work right around the corner. There are some good guys in there. I've got the range on lunch a number of times. I haven't been in there quite a while though since I'm afraid to shoot any of my stash. Good thing: they price match. Even to amazon. Bad thing: they require to scan your driver's license for any purchase. |

The one by me has a ton of stuff in stock and rotates stock almost daily and at great prices. The prices before pandemic were always higher to me but they never really went up and now are one of the only places with reasonable prices.
They usually will have whatever you would want in stock like glocks and stuff that other shops just don't have. Ammo not so much as guys go around buying it up everywhere but that's expected. |

I won’t spend a dime ever again with any Point Blank. I needed a box of 30-30 a couple months ago. I looked 4-5 different places until I found 3 boxes there. I had shot their in the past, bought several guns, accessories, etc. However, they refused to sell me 1 box of 30-30 because I wasn’t a “member.” I could maybe understand if I was trying to buy 9mm, .223, even .22 LR. But restricting sales of 30-30 to a repeat customer?
 The prices at their northeast Ohio location have always sucked, especially compared to online but even compared to other local stores. |

They ran my I'd through the register thing every time I bought something but so did Walmart when I used to buy ammo. I don't know how I feel about that but I'm not going to act like the higher powers don't know what I got already.

Quote HistoryQuoted: dude every buy from Vance's? what do you think they are doing when they take your stuff to the back? @digital_Chaos I've bought at Vances once & I assumed they did when I bought a FFL item. Typically I pay cash for my fun stuff (includeing Walmart or BW & I don' think I've ever had them take my ID there). I know there's records of me. I like to minimize it if possible though. |

There is no reason for Shoot Point Blank to scan my driver's license to purchase items. Do you work there? You're really trying hard to defend this business practice. |

For firearm purchases they do scan your id for their "internal" form. |
