I read somewhere that 78% of all statistics are
made up on the spot, which leads me to my next
comment.
I believe that 94.87% of everyone in the
firearms/ammunition resale business are 99%
pure JACKASS! Sure, these guys have to deal
with the average, off the street schmoe, of
which, most (91.37%) don't know an ejector from
a front sight post. But, rather than exercising
what I call the "Customer Prevention Program",
by berating, brow beating and ripping off potential
customers, they should think ahead to future sales
and help folks out.
Sure, I know answering the same old questions gets
tiring, especially when things get really busy. But the
only advantage that the local shops offer over the
internet gun sites is face time and hands on Q&A.
With this said, I get treated pretty well at ONE
local shop, but I still see this shop treat the less
informed gun shoppers like lepers...bad move!
I'd like to see the average gun shop employee
walk into a computer store or a home theater store
and have the tables turned on them....
the sad thing, the average gun shop employee
wouldn't learn anything from the experience.
