| I am going to be out in Kansas City for several days with alot of free time. Just wondering if anyone can recommend some good gunshops in the area. |

Hey, anyone ever been in Denny's when a couple of gangbanger types walk in?? Place gets real quiet. Good gunshop, though I usually know more about the gun I am holding than the guy who hands it to me, unless the guy is Chuck, or Denny himself. Denny walked into my store one time to buy some shirts. I asked him what his name was, thinking I recognized him, and then told him how much of my money he had taken. He blamed it on Chuck

Drew: was in there one time when this black guy walks in, he's old enough that his hair is going grey, which is to say, old enough to know better. He walks past .454 Raging Bulls, Sig Sauers, Kimbers. He walks past Glocks and Rugers and HK USPs. He goes right to the Tec-9 gathering dust on the bottom shelf. "Goddamn, is that a Tec 9? Hooo-ly shit. I gotta see that one." Why? Why God, why? |

well i know this is sad, but...... i always wanted a tech 9 and a mac 10. i always wanted 2 mac 10 or mac 11 with shoulder hosters, and i know i know better. goes back to the mami vise era. i will have to come and run the modcc match some time as Sunny Crocket. i still have the shirts,pants,jackets and shoes.

Probably a little bit of both, some of their stuff gets a bit pricey, but they also see alot of kids in there who fondle gun after gun and don't buy anything, and they know that the kid is broke and wasting their time. Not saying that's YOU, just saying there are alot of kids who do that (I used to be one of em). The best way to make a good deal at a place like Denny's is to have a shitload of money and come in and buy multiple guns at once and make it a package deal. For example, "I'll take the Sig P220 and the pre-ban AR180 at sticker price if you knock $200 off the price of that Benelli M1." You got two guns at pretty close to a fair deal, within $60 or so of what you could do online, so after they shave the price off the Benelli its like you got a good deal on all of them if you just add up their cost, subtract the $200, and then divide it appropriately. I've never had the $$$ or the balls to do this, but I've seen some really good deals done that way. BTW Bob's Gun Rack in Lee's Summit is even worse with their prices. I haven't bought a gun from them in years, they have good stuff there but damn they are proud of it. |
| My friends and I have all been going to Denny's since high school, I made it a point to buy my first handgun from them for all the trouble we gave them. A buddy of mine transferred 5 or 6 yugo sks's through Chuck, quantity got hin a pretty decent deal on that one. Its like any business where the price is not truly set. They are going to try to get as much for the product as they can, I don't hold that against them, pay too much and not know what you are getting and its your own damn fault. |

Also try The Bullet Hole, in Overland Park Kansas www.thebullethole.com/portal/ I have a friend who goes there a lot for ammo. They take good cases in trade for new ammo! |
