For the most part, yes. Here are the things I noticed.
Two types of gunshops in my area.
1. Boutique.
Nice and clean, clean windexed cases with barcoded tags on every firearm. Everything super organized. Teenager mall ninja wannabees working there with tactical belts with a Glock and 4 magazines. Owners are usually very hard a$$ed and wound up types. OCD fetish. Price is non negotiable. Usually the people are clueless. Heavy on the tactical , mostly Glock, H&K, heavy on the semi auto. sock it to the customer, one time customer, usually a novice. Gunsmithing is a foreign concept. Special orders are more beaurocratic than the IRS. They dont greet you when you walk in.
2. Bubba.
My favorite kind of place. Usually a mom & pop or a hardworking sole proprietor. Hole in the wall, gunsmithing available, good variety of products, revolvers, semi autos, good selection of C&R. Special orders are a phone call away, no deposits, payment arrangements available, the owner is a friend, its a working long term relationship. Free coffee, you can hangout for hours. Its a REAL GUNSHOP. No boutique. Used and new. A REAL GUN SHOP. BUBBA, NOT BOUTIQUE.
You have a working relationship, like Cheers, when you walk in, everyone knows your name.
