Force all of the employees to participate in some kind of shooting competition, and have their scores displayed on their name tags. That way you know who's full of crap. ;-)
Haha, great idea!

Price match. Don't insult the modern customer.
Care to narrow it down a bit?JustinJThat's not necessarily true. There is a shop somewhere between Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio but kind of out in the middle of nowhere..."Reasonable prices. I know the local gun shops can't match the big dealers in price..."
The store is responsible for collecting it from you on behalf of the state. If you want to get really technical most states require you to voluntarily remit the appropriate sales/use tax on interstate purchases as well.
Even if his cost is above that? Seems you really don't know anything a out running a business. He has to make a profit and pay for that brick and mortar store. If your online place is such a great deal buy it there. You sound like the person who screams about wanting all the customer service without being willing to PAY for it
One more thing:
Have a website that doesn't look like it was created (and last updated) in 1997. Nothing makes me angrier than the "Coming Soon!" page, when in fact it's not coming soon. It's not ever coming.
I automatically assume that if your website is dumpy and half done, your store will be the same. It also says you're a crotchety old-timer that doesn't have any customer service skills, and you'll only interested in selling guns 20% over MSRP to 19 year old kids trying to impress their girlfriends (or whatever).
the next bunch talks about how you can tell a good GUN store by thier WEB site as if you can google a limit of ducks.
but I'm not going to pay more than the online price, plus tax, for something they don't have in stock. I mean, I'm flexible within reason, but a lot of shops are out of their minds. I'm not trying to nickel and dime anyone, just not going to pay $200+ more dollars for no good reason. $50 or $60 more than cost should be more than enough for a gun that you DON'T HAVE IN STOCK.
