I agree.
Let the high local gun dealers like Carters and Gander make money off the lazy, impulsive or unaware gun buyers. There are obviously tons of them in this large city....enough to keep the doors open at these establishments. More power to them - if they can charge a certain price and some other person can afford it - wonderful.
Many people don't bargain shop at all - they walk in and pay whatever the retail price is. Not my way of living...but this is a free country and not everyone took Economics 101, passed it or even went to college...ok? A quick scan of the news and media and its no secret that 99% of America is economically retarded. How do you think things like payday loans, auto leasing, credit cards and other financial scams get so popular in this country? LOL
However, I am not going to pay the prices in these high retail outlets. I am also not going in there to complain to these establishments about their pricing. Why? First, they know what they're doing and me calling them out for it is relatively pointless. I am sure they have hears it all before and you're wasting your breath by telling them they are high and that you can get it online cheaper. Hello!....you think they don't know this? No wonder you got such bad service!
Do I go in these places to look around or "tire-kick" as they say? Yeah, sometimes I do. Its not illegal or immoral to do so and how else am I going to know what a certain product or gun feels like in the hand? Its not a crime to go into a retail outlet and examine things and if the counterpeople want to act crappy because I looked and did not buy...well that is their problem. Want me to buy? Lower the friggin prices, ok? Otherwise, close the doors and don't let anyone in - become a mail or phone order shop only...ok?
Doesn't eveyone know by now of the gun buying craze? Knowing this...don't you expect the gun store workers to be a little put out at the slightest of things? I believe so. Just know this and deal with it. If it bothers you THAT much...don't go in there.
The gunstore worker is being PAID to tend the counters so let them do their job and you go in and look if you wish - you are not obligated by law to buy. If the gunstore worker is THAT put out by this...well..maybe its time for them to find employment somewhere else. Texas is a right to work state...nobody is forcing them to stay at Gander or Carters Country...right?
Everyone needs to calm down in all of this. Beleve it or not....this craze WILL pass...some day.
