The Bargain Barn Curmudgeon

[gjdjr1]

So, after several years I stopped in... Went straight to the gun counter, and looked through every case. Good selection of the normal stuff, priced decent. 2 guys working...
I approach the older gentleman, who I had already overheard talking down to others, and say the following, "Afternoon Sir, Any Colts?" And got this...
"Boy, Colt don't make no guns" With a half ass chuckle and smirk as to say "you dumbass" in front of about 20 people as loud as he could.
My reply was "Are you sure about that? You may want to check into your statement" Old man Nasty: "They haven't made guns in years Boy. 'Cept maybes if yous in the Army" Me: "Ok Sir, Check that statement. Have a good one" As he muttered something laughing at me while I walked away.
I wanted to hit him with the butt of my 100 year rollmarked Defender under my shirt. But I am a grown man, even though the old slouch called me "Boy" twice, grabbed my wife and kids, set all the over priced crap they had in their hands down, and walked out.
Needless, I will never go back there...

It never ceases to amaze me how some self-inflated blowhard behind a gun counter can chase off more potential gun buyers than the most diehard liberal.

Probably the owner, smartass employees don't last long unless they marry into the business.

I was there on Saturday passing through with the wife and kids looking for boots for my daughter. Never made it upstairs but the people on the bottom floor couldn't have been more helpful and courteous to us. I was really impressed with the store and how it's improved it's selection, at least on shoes, over the years. You must have gotten a bad apple. Too bad.

i always like to set the NC Star crap they sell at about 200% over what it sells for on CDNN investments.

I saw a NCstar ultra slim rail laser... I bought on CDNN for about $30 bucks +$5 shipping .. they had it in stock and get this "on sell" (<-- no seriously) for $105

bwahahahahahaaha. some guy was looking at it and i just glanced over and said "cdnninvestments.com... google it and save yourself"


never been impressed with the service, selection, prices or otherwise there.
