Disappointed with my local gun shop

[Chuckdog]

Good Grief Folks! Do you never tire of bashing people?

Selling on GB is good business. Why they have them on display makes no sense, but auctioning their stuff away from their storefront should make good business sense to anyone in retail.

some shop in or near Macon needs to be boycotted

Knowing them well...no, they don't.
They are consistently the one of the best in Macon.

I'm afraid it's going on at the majority of the stores.Cherokee gun & pawn is keeping prices closer to reality than most.

I think reality is quickly being redefined. Who knows what normal will be in 2 days when that socialist crusty old hag plops her legislative DEMANDS on the table for all to see.

I agree. But you piss off your core and you never get em back.

Short term vs long term. And if they need this windfall to survive the short term, the business is not long to survive.

Ask the OP, if he has actually been a long time regular then he will be back.
Guarantee he has picked up his share of great deals there over the years.

if only obama could do with everything else that he does with gun sales....the shops in town here are doing the same thing,i inquired about a ar that was on gb and had a had about 6 hours left and was up to about $1500 and was the high bidder and was told if i wanted to go ahead and buy it they would let me take it with me for $3200 and if someone else won it they would just give them another one off the shelf.alot of shops have pissed people off but right now its all about the mighty dollar and most on here are about the same way when selling there stuff since the madness happened wanting top dollar.

Well he told you the truth...

Again I think the problem is that you can go in and fondle the guns with a price tag on it but can't buy for the price tag.

Either put an inflated tag on or put the guns in the back.

"Its is going to be funny when these gougers sell off all their inflated stock and can't get anything from from distributors...........Maybe they've made enough off their inflated prices so that they can retire early."

Maybe retirement is not what they are looking for. Maybe as a business man he is looking at keeping the doors open in the near future. I hope the folks on here that believe this will pass are right. But just for a moment lets think that it won't. Just suppose that we have seen the last of the Hi cap firearms. I have been around guns and gun shows for many years. I saw the market change from shotguns, hunting rifles and wheel guns to Glocks and ARs. Go to any gun show in Atlanta and 75% of what you see is black plastic. Not bashing black plastic. I have some myself.
Back to the shop owner. He has a family to feed a house to pay for. He is looking at the possibility of 75% of his business being band. Even if it does not get banded, all the distributors are out of stock. The manufacturers will be weeks trying to get product out to the shops. Until then 75% of the shops business is gone. What do you do for income until then? How do you keep the lights on? How do you pay the employees? How do you put food on the table? I doubt seriously any one will close the doors and head to the Carribean for a long vacation. And if his shop goes under how many of his loyal customers will drop by his house and buy his family dinner?

And for those of you who believe this to will pass...You need to start watching what is going on at the state level as well as in DC...Be afraid. It is different this time. Yes the Supreme Court upheld the 2nd. But they did not leave it open to free for all. In 1934 the NFA was passed. Since that time there has been limited availability of "class 3" weapons. Yes you can own a class 3 as long as it was manufactured before 1986 and you pay the $200 fee. That fee was set back in 1934 when the average income was about $1600 a year. How many people could afford a class 3 weapon when the fee was 8 percent of their annual income? If you make $50,000 now, how many of you would hang onto your AR if the tax stamp was $4000 EACH? Or $4000 for each 30 round mag? You ***** about the cost of a Pmag now? If this goes through you will really have something to complain about. If you will read the upcoming proposals ther is language in it that states " Dedicated funding for ATF to implement registration." And where do you think that will come from? How about taxes on all items firearm related? This administration has proven it will do anything to obtain more money from the population. If I remember the polls correctly 71% of the people were against Obamacare. And look what we have.

Enjoy what you have now. I hope I am so wrong but I believe we are about to see some major changes we will not be happy about. And don't forget Obama and the UN....
