LOL...after buying a shotgun a few months ago from ACADEMY I knew exactly what store she was talking about.canvasbck wrote:Why is everyone afraid to say it was ACADEMY? They have the 5.5' counter, the pain in the youknowwhat paperwork and the escort out the door. They sometimes have prices that may make it worth it, but everyone should be aware of what they will go through when they go to ACADEMY to purchase a firearm.
The fussiness over the BATF government paperwork is universal. I've received the same warnings buying guns in other places about spelling out Texas and not abbreviating anything. The other forms were silly but mostly harmless. What annoyed me the most was being escorted to the front of the store...what purpose does that serve? Especially since I was carrying concealed the whole time! Needless to say, I'll still go to Academy for some things, but I don't plan to buy any more guns there, especially now that I have the new "Cheaper Than Dirt!" retail outlet only 1.5 miles from my house.
