AMEN!!!

I have good experiences with Nagels Gun shop in San Antonio, they are a little higher priced but in my opinion, well worth the extra $10 for the service and time they give when you are there.

Ok I know a few women that would fall for this but NONE of them shoot or have any desire too. I wouldn't have been able to stop laughing long enough to call him an idiot LOL

Sadly the "kid" at academy was the manager, I contacted a gun store in san Antonio that will order for me and beat academys price by $50. The whole time at academy this "kid" was bashing everyone's gun choice because its not what he would shoot. The funniest part is he was maybe 5'6" and 120 lbs soaking wet and I am 6 ft 200 lbs and he was telling me what I could and couldn't handle. I did contact the regional manager and corporate as well about his behavior. I now carry a picture of my proficiency test Target, if I get a comment about the size of my gun I proudly show off my perfect score BAHAHAHA

Has anyone else had issues while looking at guns. I went to the San Antonio Academy on Military Dr to look at the
Taurus Raging Judge magnum because they are the only ones in town that had one in stock. Keep in mind this is a large gun that shoots .410/.45LC and .454 casull.
As soon as I asked to see it the guy behind the counter says " you don't want to see that gun, you want to look at this" and he pulls out a .380. I informed him if I had wanted to see a .380 I would have asked for one. I literally received 5 minutes of grief from this "kid" because the Raging Judge magnum was "to much gun" for me. Gratz to you Academy, you just lost a sale.

I carry a 1911 .45 and/or a Taurus Judge Public Defender.. I frequently get comments from guys at gun stores about it being "to much gun". One guy at cabella's actually told me that I couldn't conceal a .45 because it was so heavy it would pull my pants down.

How do you combat stupid people while shopping for a gun?
