Most of us here enjoy going to a gun store. We find a store where we're well treated (sometimes not an easy task). We enjoy talking about guns. We enjoy seeing what's new in the store. Maybe we're only the to do a few comparisons. Sometimes we need to evaluate the way certain firearms feel in our hand, what the sights look like, generally whether that firearm has that certain quality which let's us know it's for us...or not.
I generally know when I'm going in to buy, or at least seriously shop. There are only a limited number of salespeople to service a sometimes crowded store. If I'm just doing research or comparing one firearm to another, I try to minimize the time that I spend with a salesperson.
What really irritates me are the folks who seemingly have no intention of buying a firearm, but tie up the salespeople for ridiculous periods just BSing about this and that. Of course, the salesperson doesn't know who's serious and who's not (although they probably have a pretty good idea). And the fact that they (the salepeople) treat everyone as a potential customer is not a bad thing.
I suppose what I'd like to see is just a little common courtesy from those who have no intention of buying. Maybe limit your time with the salesperson if you're only doing research, or just wishing you could buy.
