We have one main gun shop in town, and a Scheels All-Sports that doesn't sell 'smaller frame' weapons. I like the idea of buying local to support our community, but I cant afford the prices they are asking. At the smaller gun shop they have a XD sub-compact for $569, and a 637 S&W air weight for $545.
While I was window shopping I listened to a conversation going on between a few guys. (customers?)
Guy 1: Yeah, this new thing they are talking about might take away the ban from the 30's of automatic weapons.
Guy 2: Really? I dont know about that, you have to have some regulation on it.
Guy 3: Are you kidding, I hope those crazy guys have fully automatic weapons. Have you ever tried to shoot one? They climb like crazy and are hard to hit anything with. I wouldn't worry about a guy with one, I'd let him empty the magazine, then shoot him in the back of the head.
wow.
All the people that I've met on the range have been very nice and very 'high road' but I cant stand being in earshot of this shop's 'counter talk'. Is this common for gun-shops?
Am I a bad person if I don't like to hang out at the gunshop, and that I plan to order an XD off gunbroker for $454 including shipping and FFL fee? Budsgunshop.com even has S&W 642's for $385 shipped. I think I just have been reading too many level headed views on issues on this forum that I feel like doing this:banghead: when I hear some people talk.
