What are some peculiar or downright false things you've overheard/been told/witnessed at a gun shop. range, shooting event, deer camp, etc.?
One of my favorites is when browsing in a gun shop I overheard an employee telling a customer that .308 Winchester is good to 1000 yards unless you're shooting it suppressed, in which case the range would drop to 700 yards. The guy never explained why that was the case. The customer seemed to be eating it up, too.
Admittedly I can purchase most of what I need nowadays online, but I still go to brick and mortars for the experience.
