Honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that I live 50 miles from a real gun store, I would never have stepped foot in this little podunk shop. Having had prior experience from a past encounter there already.
My story:
Okay, So I wanted some good hollow point ammo for my Walther PPK/S, and Wally World doesn't carry that up here. I happen to be stopping by a friends house that lives less than a mile away so it works out logistics wise.
I walk in, am immediately met with gruff demeanor bordering on suspicious, and my attempt to disarm the salesman/owner with my pleasant charm did not win any favor with the owner.
While I approach him and explain all I want is a box of ammo, he is telling a young customer to "hurry up, I don't have all day to show you guns"...
I interjected on the young customers behalf and told the owner "how do you sell guns if you don't like to show them"? "Aren't you in the gun business"?
At this point I should have told the id to go to Newington, but then again there I was right beside him myself.
Anyhow, my coment Completely ignored, He begins looking for the ammo I requested and can't find any in my caliber... I didn't realize .380 is such an uncommon caliber these days ... No Hollows., not even FMJ was available, which I already have plenty of anyhow.
So the owner says he'll order some and it will be available on Tuesday.... I just walked out shaking my head in disbelief...
I sincerely hope I never go back there again, but 50 miles is a long way to go for ammo. I guess I could order some and ship it though.
