Wow.
I put my name on the list at a local gun shop a several months ago, was told there were about 20 people in front of me. ~6 weeks later I got a call to come pick up my LCP. Unfortunately I was out of town so I asked the clerk if I could pick it up on Monday, but then I got held up and didn't get home untill Friday. I figured I was a day late and a dollar short, was still really busy and basically I just let it slide. Figured I'd probably survive with just my NAA & PPK for .380s.
The next Monday, a full 10 days after the first call, I got another call from the shop wondering where the heck I was... I stammered and stuttered and apologized and told them I'd be there in 15 minutes. Then I went and picked up my new LCP... for $259!
I was a loyal Green Mountains Guns customer before this, I'm even more loyal now.
