    HELL yes buddy, i'll be humble and admit i have vast amt's of knowledge still to soak up from u and so many of the other great senior members on here and other forums, these guys in damn local stores are almost all cut out of the same mold, esp. since the gun rush! This is no crap and i hate to admit but before i was sound in knowing before arguing with the idiots the various crap they were peddling on a few occasions these guys basically almost talked me clear out of the awesome hobby. Seriously though before i found these forums and the online ability to hone the hobby, i would not of stuck with any passion that i cannot access growth/knowledge in it.

    I did my CCW there a few years back and used to buy stuff when I lived in Vegas and California. It's one of the few stores that I will go to in town. I make it point to stop by and say hey to a couple of guys I know.

The last couple batches spent longer than 90 days out because of the Glock shortage, so my guy didn't call me, but this one was good. They put P226s out for $349, and I think they still have the HK USP9 compact for $499.

    Yeah, they're mostly good guys over there. Some of their new, younger guys pull stuff out of their asses occassionally that makes me laugh though.

    They're alright, they seem to be good guys but a couple of the salesmen haven't been able to answer some pretty basic questions (is this LEM or DA/SA, etc.). I kinda stopped going there after trying to fight with 30 tourists for someone's attention.

    I know what you mean. It's better now, they bought the other place in the same building and that's the gun shop. The original place is the tourist area/rental range, and the security/ccw classes are in what used to be the child care place next door.

    I never hear it in the gun shop that I hang out in.

    The people that work in my shop would never say such a thing either (as they run M16 carriers).

    I am afraid to say that the majority of my fellow gun shop owners/employees are some of the most ignorant, BS filled people I know. They also operate their business about as honest as a used car salesmen.

    After years of going in there you should know better than to feed the monkeys.

    I wish I could point out many exceptions to what you said argue with you about your conclusion ...

    ... but I can't. Unfortunately, you're 100% dead-nutz correct.
