So I went to Lone Star Defense on Long Point to ship out a couple of guns I sold on Gunbroker. I called the owner ahead of time and said if I could stop by to drop them off. He said fine. I have been to this store before, and talked to the owner David Truong once or twice. He has been cordial before. But on the day I came in to ship out the guns, he went haywire on me. I was filling out the paperwork with one of his staff when he suddenly kicked me out, saying I was acting "off" or that he had a bad feeling about me. I was thinking, what was he talking about? This was right after I requested to take a pic of the guns' serial numbers for my own record. His employee said don't worry we recorded the number on the form. I said, I know but I still want to take a pic, it's something I always do.
Maybe the owner got offended I didn't trust his employee? Anyway, he went from 0-10 fast. He threatened to physically lay hands on me and kick me out. It seemed way out of proportion to what transpired. I never raised my voice.
I posted this review, and this is his response.
Everything he says in his response was not true. I was not enraged, I was like, what is happening exactly? Granted I had a headache that day and was coming down with something, so I wasn't super cheerful but I never treated anyone there disrespectfully. His long, drawn-out response also reeks of "protest too much" - it's scary when someone thinks you did this crazy bad thing, when you're just going about your day. Was he going to accuse me of robbing his store, next?
His response to my review goes from condescending attitude ("I even counted to ten, like how an adult would countdown towards an unruly child") to praying for me and saying God bless. Wow, talk about mood swing. LOL
I had no anxiety that he accused me of. Why would I? I wasn't there to buy anything, just to ship something out to a buyer's FFL. How could anyone be shady about that?
I mean, if he didn't want to do it for me, he could have just told me on the phone 15 minutes prior when I called him, so I could go somewhere else. He seems to base all this on his "feelings" and such. I'm just a quiet guy with glasses, no gang markings on my face or body. After this bizarre incident I just went to another FFL and got it shipped out with no fuss or drama. And yes, I took a pic of the guns' serial numbers at this other FFL's office, and he didn't have a problem with that at all.
