gun shop commandos
yeah, the guys that frequent the shops can't be taken for expert, of course the guys on the other side of the counter can be just as uninformed.
A month ago I was looking at a local shop. After the guy told me that .223 hits harder than 30-06
cause "the .223 can shatter your skeleton if you're hit right"
(I bet he could be a spokesman for the LAPD)
I then asked to see the Carcano on the rack, he grabbed a ruger 10/22 (cause they look like WWII c&r guns:banghead: ) I said, "no, not that one." He then grabbed the black stock, stainless 10/22 beside it:banghead:
I said, "it's a bolt action gun, the one with a scope" (poor thing spent a night with Bubba)
He then got it right since the only other scope rifle was a daisy air-rifle:banghead:
Why does he get money to be stuped?
That's why I don't believe people that are trying to sell you stuff.
That shop gives a S&W pistol (not sure which) to each employee who sells 50 S&W handguns. So be weary of shop nerds that push a certain brand as better or say things like,
"you'd be better off duck hunting with this S&W revolver, more accurate than a shotgun"
Should I get a 2nd job there for long enough to sell the 50 guns and quit with my S&W in hand?
