    Whats the best lie you had a gun seller tell you

    I heard too many "XXXX is the best" and "XXXX is crap" comments about various guns one day and I've stopped being nice about it ever since. I just call them on their BS now. I wonder what psychological thing is going on that so many people seem compelled to believe that there is only one...

    Sorry, double post.

    New SP101 22LR

    SP101 is a sturdy, quality design, no doubt. But I would have a hard time paying that much for a .22. Interesting, but I'd honestly just have the snubby .357 SP101.

    PSA: Stop yer dryfirin, specially dem rimfires!

    Dry firing a centerfire is a heck of a lot easier on the gun than actually shooting it. As for rimfires, I've always used #4 wall anchors. They even cycle like .22s.

    Love guns but have never/would never hunt?

    Love guns, have no need to hunt. I wouldn't have fun doing it, so I don't. No problem shooting pests around the land though.

    Black Talon

    Looks like he just set the white balance to daylight when it should've been incandescent.

    Do you have any hardcore anti-gun family members?

    Both of my folks are pretty darn liberal. My dad doesn't mind guns but he doesn't like many gun owners. My mom started her career working in an ER and saw a five year old with a gunshot wound to the chest. That affected her pretty severely. She's not a big fan of handguns. She's okay with...

    Dumbest thing you've seen at the range?

    Sure hope that guy learned his lesson. Most people have common sense enough not to waltz onto someone else's property and demand they stop shooting…

    So i had to laugh.....

    Really? Unless it's a ridiculously rare model, which it doesn't look to be, it's worth nowhere near $450. I just bought a Soviet 91/30 for $84 out the door, and that was even a hex receiver.

    What Gun Product Would You Like To See Introduced?

    Do other "young" people have this happen too?

    I'm 24, and if it weren't for my receding hairline I bet that I'd be treated a lot more poorly in gun shops. But I know exactly what you're talking about. Go in with a scowl, that helps. Never let the old man behind the counter out-scowl you. Strange, but it works.

    Have you ever been asked?

    I know there's a duty to inform LEOs in OK, but I didn't think there was a duty to inform anyone not carrying a badge, regardless of who owns the property.

    What does it take for a local gun store to be successful?

    1: Most important for me is a knowledgeable staff who won't repeat the idiotic lore perpetuate misconceptions (you know, like the examples throughout this thread). 2: You're gonna have looky-loos and tire kickers—it's inevitable. So don't disrespect them and shoot the stink eye at them just...
