my spill, a little long
Im active duty military and have picked up a weekend job to help supplement my very expensive habit, I'm a 26 year old, African American male, which I see very few minorities of In shooting sports, and less as gun store employees, and I have enjoy the shooting sports for as long as i can remember, I'm also the armorer for my unit, another way for me to expand my knowledge. I have worked at two different gun stores, one with more selection geared toward the hunter, and another geared more toward Ar/ black rifle crowd. I have dealt with a wide assortment of people in previous sales jobs before the military and during my time on active duty, black,white,Asian,Hispanic etc, those who swear by wheel guns, customers how shoot nothing but 1911's, the glock crowd,etc. I have always lived my life by simply treating others and customers alike, as I would want to be treated. I treat every customer the same way regardless of looks or preference in firearms . If I person hates polymer framed firearms, I carry a glock, Im not going to shut down on them, they are talking guns I would I have no reservations about showing a 2k dollars mark 23 HK to a Guy or Gal dressed in tee shirt and jeans with holes in them , I would feel just as comfortable showing a 300 dollar ruger p89 to a gentleman dressed in a business suit. I love firearms, and I like talking to people about them regardless if they are an avid collector or buying their first firearm, or not buying anything but a box of 22lr. Give everybody a fair shake whether they are getting a acog for Noveske/Magpul MPL Light recce or looking for a BSA scope for their ruger 10/22, I don't work of commission, but I guarantee I try my best to make sure everybody that leaves the store is helped in the best way possible. I would want to feel that why when I leave a store, its only fair, right? I feel the best weapon is the one you are most safe with . It always boils down to preference, Im not a expert by any stretch of the imagination, I just try to give you options and help in anyway I can, that's all, sorry for rambling i have not typed this much since college.
