Want to guess how many MILLIONS of taxpayer $$ they used to payoff Cabelas into building a store?


It's sickening.



BTW - coming only has one R, unless it's pron, then you'll need to change the 'o' to a 'u'

The service at the "flagship" store here in Utah is terrible. I've been there twice and both times the people there either had no idea what they were talking about or were completely disinterested in helping me.

Sporstman's Warehouse FTW.

I've been to the one in MI 3 times and hope to go again in the Spring. I love that store!

Where else can you buy candy, a jacket, and Mk. 262 mod 1?

Why do you think every 2 weeks he is posting "which gun shoud I get?"

He gets no paycheck, he is paid in guns...

There is one being built in Denver too.  Damn, the economy sucks.

I went to the one in Austin a week ago.  I must say I was not impressed.  Big?  Yes.  First I had to walk a mile to get in then fight 5,000 jackoffs in camo to look around.  

FYI:  You don't have to wear all your camo duds to a hunting and fishing store, Bubba.  

All in all I will go to Bass Pro in Houston more than the Cabelas.

I do get paid in guns
ETA: Seriously? I know some of the employees who only work there to pay off their habit.

Not in Idaho.  It is illegal to offer incentives -- at taxpayer expense -- to businesses to locate in the state.  That's been a complaint of mine for a long time, but it doesn't seem to matter because we are the third fastest-growing state in the U.S.
