I also work at a gunshop, and you see all
Sorts. Both sides of the counter mind you.
But just like the AR market has worked its way
To customers demanding a higher quality product
Won't LGS have to soon do the same to compete?
Now I'm not saying that you MUST shop local, however
If you don't voice your opinion to them about their
Products that they carry or you want them to carry,
How long before all this online sales hurt your LGS
And you can no longer even transfer things to pick up there
Once they go out of business?
I know for myself at least that this forum has helped
Me greatly expand my knowledge and understanding
Of ARs, handguns, and thanks to DocGKR what bullets
Do to soft squishy 2-legged vermin.
I feel that I can better educate my customer when they
Come In looking for firearms. BUT, BUT you still get the
Whole " my bushmaster is as good as any! I've put 100
Problem free rounds down range and that's good enough!"
Crowd. That is the unfortunate fact of retail work.
The customer is always right(even if they aren't).
Don't get me wrong though, I've been to other shops and
Even seen at my own. Some LGS employees don't
Know shit! I used to be one till I went to better educate
Myself.
