I was in Dave's Guns today and some photographer took a bunch of pictures of me holding an AR15. He said they were going to be in Time magazine feature next week
 . Let’s see how they spin the story..... He seemed pretty nice and was fascinated by the rifles. He said there is not much of a difference between post-ban and pre-ban…duh!!!! I hope he puts that in the story.

most gun shops had news ppl call them on Monday, and most declined interview due to the way they twist stories. |

He kept telling me to point the rifle toward his direction and I said I don't want to violate any gun saftey rules. The shop was cool with it.

I wouldn't be caught dead in Dave's Guns in Aurora, and I certainly wouldn't want photographic evidence of the visit.
Scumbags... |

Let's see if the writer provides a fair look at the rifles. But my guess is he'll turn out to be an ass and pull another John Zarrella.

Umm.... Good first response but screw Dave's for being "cool with it". That'll probably be the only pic they publish - the dramatic "business end pic". |

don't expect much... I've seen the footage already of stuff from daves the past couple days.. they always twist it unbelivably... and get their f'n facts wrong.
dave had good intentions, I'm sure, but you have to remember who we're dealing with.. talk to the media like they are elementary school kids (no offense meant to elementary school kids everywhere) |

Dave's sucks, I bought an expensive ( 2500.00) AW there and they act like they are doing me a favor. a few nice salesmen but generally pricks. go see Chad at Cal's. He is a good guy but don't waste his time finger fucking his guns, go in and buy something.

All I wanted was a 30rd LE magazine but he had me hold a post-ban with fake tele-stock I had my infant son with me in his car seat so I had to set him down. The salesman was standing behind me.

Nimrod,
The rifle was not directly pointed at him and I kept my finger off the trigger. Another salesman kept walking in front of me so I would raise the muzzle high to avoid him sweeping himself. |

With the dishonest agenda of the press, you are likely to end up in the magazine with the caption, "Militia Member making a straw-man purchase for Al Qaeda terror cell".
Pictures never lie, but the captions often do. |

Did you SERIOUSLY just say that Cal's is any better than Dave's when it comes to acting like they are doing you a favor in buying their guns! |

You just have to get to know Chad is all. He has so many dipsticks come in it is amazing, I don't know how he does it. We probably would all be a bit aloof if you had to deal with the guys I see come in his store. |

Chad sucks for being the self appointed 'preban' mag police.
Dave's sucks because they are crooks. Both are equal in my books. I did like Chad until he got stupid and started the whole 'unmarked' mag fiasco. Before that, I had bought a lot of guns from him. |
