A woman who looked like a 60 yr old medicated america Barbara Striestand or however the fugg you spell her name. Kinda a mixture of cyndi Lauper clothes and Yentl outfit from as much as I could tell from the overall breathing fashion disaster she was...
Dumb LGS guy " can I help you maam"
Barbara/ cyndi nitwits r us woman says:
"I have never had a gun or shot a gun before" " I am looking for one that will knock someone down, but not kill them".
JFC..........
A dude was standing about 5 ft away. Heard it all too.
I just kinda look at him and we both just roll our eyes.....
Leaving store... Barbara/ cyndi Struggling on various pistols trying to work slides. LGS guy dosent seem to be able to teach her counter opposing force with quick momentum properly with hand and arm strength to rack a slide. If someone would have shown miss I wanta just knock em down and not kill em. How to use hand and arm ergo,s and momentum with a little bit of strenght . She probably coulda racked just about any slide on most pistols...
Some people shouldnt have guns..... Some people shouldnt be allowed to show others how to rack a slide on a pistol either.
I felt like I was doing the nation a favor by overcoming my teach, coach, and mentor tendencies I have on the way out. By resisting wanting to take 2 mins and show Barbara/ cyndi how to rack a pistol using ergo,s.
And make LGS guy look like he had a cock sticking outta his forehead.
Find it hard resisting wanting to help people and embarass others at times. Been a issue my entire life......
I went and got 3 cheeseburgers at McDonald's instead. Gunga Galunga........
Do gun stores in West Tn still have guns on shelves with ammo available? I haven't been to lgs in 9months. Only other place I've been is Rural King & they have a few handguns, but no ammo except 12 ga target loads.
Did you check whether or not she had false toofs? Coulda helped her out and maybe got a first class gummer for your efforts?
Once had a LGS near me, populated by complete idiots from the top on down. Owner didn't want to sell me scope base fill screws for a Marlin 336, insisted they wouldn't work on the 444 I was putting a receiver sight on. They worked just dandy.
Fine looking young lady came in one day, inquired about a small revolver. Pretty soon both goons behind the counter were arguing over a 44 or 41 mag. She left and they kept arguing.

Yes their is ammo out their to be found at decent prices around here still. Tn guns and knives on 41A Rural king Academy Cowboy dans pawnshop Midsouth shooters supply FTCKY PX
Ya just gotta make regular rounds at places. Starting to do it again myself until turkey season starts.
1 place today had 2 boxes of hornady american whitetail 30- 06 180 gr for 24.99 a bx.
But I have vowed to myself not to drop a dime in that place ever again. Like my vow to never buy anything leupold ever again.
Too each their own on what they roll with....
Looking for barnes vortex ot6 168 ttsx Or Nosler 0t6 168 gr Etip.
I drove over to a semi-local LGS today, only to find zero parking available and a long line waiting to get inside. I had the wife with me, so we just kept going. Made a circle in the parking lot and kept right on going.
I can't think of a thing I really need anyway, but I had a dose of cabin fever and wanted to get out of the house for awhile. That place is usually overpriced anyhow, I hate to think how much of a premium they had on stuff.
It wasn't a total loss, it snowed last night and we saw some deer feeding out in a field, without the snow we probably wouldn't have seen them. Roads weren't slippery, but there was a fair amount of snow still on them.

Naawww. Before that ever occurred to me. Cheesburgers from McDonald's were on my mind and the priority
WTF do you expect from clerks making minimum wage, knowledgeable professionals ? LOL
The shops around here are full of em for sure. Mostly the Nepotism hiring plan......
Had one 21 yr old type telling me a G17 gen5 was the same as any other glock. Was adament about it all. I just handed him back the pistol and smiled I told the owner ( a fellow sqd ldr decades ago in the same platoon) his employees need ta google fu and educate themselves on their spare time . Explained to Dave what employee of month was saying. Dave was not happy Just said " thanks man".
Well the LGS clerks around here are a lot more helpful than that they would have shown her how to rack the slide and activate the release to close it then sold her the gun if she past the background check and a box of trap loads to go with it. You know I wouldn't sh*t you. Mb
Well, I have another take on the topic, as a person who has worked behind a gun counter for 40hours a week for the last 4 years (after 30 in the Advertising field), and I make more than minimum wage. It gets tiring (especially in current times) to try to explain the function and use of a firearm. Do you expect car salesman to teach you how to drive? Most of us grew up with firearms, but if you are a “Barbara Streisand” type, you should seek out a firearms instructor. I work at one of the largest, privately owned LGS’s in my area, and we have lines forming outside the store, 1.5 hours before we open in the am, and it doesn’t stop until we close (hours 11am-7pm Mon-Fri). I am one of five salesman that work behind the counter. We have 2 gunsmiths on staff, and lately about 40% percent of the “broken firearms” that come to the counter lately (about the last 6months, but the buying insanity started March 2020) are OPERATOR ERROR. Below, I’ll list a FEW of the conversations I’ve had lately:
Customer (walking in with a recently purchased Stoeger Coach gun): “I want to return this firearm, it’s not working right, and it’s too hard to open”
Me: “well, unless there’s some defect, all gun sales are final. How many times have you fired the gun?”
Customer: “oh, I haven’t shot it yet”
Me: smack forehead
————————————————————————
We had a doctor pull his car in the lot, get out with a Sig 320 (in hand pointed in the air), walk past 20-25 people on line, walk right up to the counter and DEMAND we install sight on his pistol right away, because “he had to get back to the hospital”.
..... we threw him out.
—————————————————————————
My personal favorite over the past few months are the people that walk up to the counter and ask for a Mossberg 500, or Remington 870 with an 18” barrel, expecting there to be dozens in the shop. It’s like they’ve had their heads in the sand, or somewhere else for the last year. “Remingtons bankrupt”??? .......shocker!
——————————————————————————- People that walk in and go from, I want to see a hunting rifle, now a shotgun, now a handgun........are usually a waste of our time.
——————————————————————————— The 20 phone calls a day we get from customers asking “how long is the line?”. Our stock answer is 37’ 8” ———————————————————————————
Now, don’t get me wrong, as I work at a gun shop, because I enjoy firrarms, and helping people, but you can’t turn Barbara Streisand into Jerry Miculek in 15 min at a gun counter. I’ve taken guns away from people that can’t follow the simplest instruction of “DON’T SWEEP PEOPLE WITH THE BARREL” and “KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER”. I get a lot of “Isn’t it unloaded?”...... again, smack forehead!

Was at the best pawn shop I’ve every entered in my opinion. Guy came up to Dave (owner) as we were talking and asked if he had any shells to break his new gun in with? Dude says it’s a shotgun. Had no idea what gauge, make model or anything. Dave said he really couldn’t help him without knowing more information. Dude goes over to the ammo and comes back with a box of Black Aces buckshot. Dave explained the he wouldn’t be able to return if it didn’t work. Went so far over the Dude’s head.
Went to the Graf’s store in St Charles only to find it had been sold to one of the young employees. Found a couple boxes of 7mm TSX 120gr still with the old prices of $28/ box, 8mm ballistic tips for $23/box, 6mm ELD-X 108 $28/bag of 100, Varget (limit one lb) for $32 and MBC cast 158gr for my .38’s for $39 per 500.

California or Chicago refugee?
Gawd knows ... Up here around clarksville and Ft Campbell. We got the broad spectrum of everything from the entire planet.
Is any part of that line of people still the 425 lb lardasses that want to come in block out the view of the glass pistol cases and jaw-&-reminisce about “so and so and Ernie had this and Donnie had one of them and there was this one time me and Daddy” and on and on and on while you have folks in there wanting to spend money?
Is that still a thing?
And for anyone reading this are you “that person” ?

Ha ha. We’ve gotten very good at reminding people that, while we’re happy to help them, and show them firearms, we cannot (because of the current climate), show them 1/2 dozen Wilson or Nighhawk customs, unless they are seriously there to buy. We’re NOT doing window shopping at the moment.
I haven't even been to a gun shop in about a year. No need. I have enough guns,ammo, powder bullets, primers, brass to last the rest of my life and then some. It amazes me the seasoned shooters/hunters still scrounging for ammo at this point. Fuggin dumbasses shoulda stocked up long ago.

Y'all about one busload from Illinois short from going full Nashville. Powers beat Englen, that is some really weak crap right there, 'Ol Red Flag Powers beating a real life Hero (highest ranking CWO in the Nation) for the Senate Seat...
Triple wide Trey rides to the LGS in Coltons truck. Triple wide Trey dont even have a Drivers License. After they stop at the BP convenience store and get a 89 cent 64 oz fountain soda to drink while they talk guns.
Yep. All of the above. Everyday. And add in the 50 calls per day asking if we have ammo. And the [bleep] who come in separately and try to outsmart us by one of them buying a gun for the other who is a felon. Not real bright so we can catch them. But it's just one more layer of bull sheet we don't need.

I feel you pain. I worked at a Walmart in the Sporting goods department for 2 1/2 years. They seemed to gravitate to Walmart. I sold a bunch of Mossberg youth 20 gauges to those types. Thank God we did not have hand guns.
Mayor mcmillan leaning in for your extra special wave

Lol!!! Set her up like a bowling pin for a royal publicly heard azz chewing. No one probably ever gave Kimmy poo a dressing down like that in her life.
wasn't there a thread about them a few years back.
No gunstore here, Just the Ace hardware store. All the ammo locked behind sliding glass doors in shelves. No firearms, just clamshell packaged cleaning stuff and a sling or two maybe.
Mickey Dee's? Ha ha, don't make me laugh. 2 hr drive to the nearest one of them, but we do have a Subway!

And Biden insists we pay them $15/hr to be ignorant and lazy.
And Harris & AOC and others want to give EVERY American (south american too I suppose) $2,000 per individual, per month. Guaranteed income? In addition to $600 per week to the unemployed. WTH? Why work?
