And you should.. From what I understand the website isn't part of a storefront which means it probably has very little overhead and shouldn't need to compensate much at all.

I used to feel the same way but then it was explained to me that stores that dedicate themselves to guns and ammo rely solely on gun and ammo profits to cover overhead expenses each month. Places like academy and walmart are so diversified that the profits from one or two categories doesn't affect them if they are lost. So the gun stores that raise the prices during difficult times is due to needing that profit support by us since the restock of all their merchandise is slowed and their normal profit will not cover the expenses each month since they are currently being limited to what they can get back into stock. This is just for overall sakes.. I don't buy from Carter's due to the attitude they present and their pricing, new or old.

Of course, as a consumer we have the right to buy wherever we please which most of us choose to buy from walmart and academy when it's in stock.
