(atleast the one around my neck o the woods) For 1, the people they put behind the counter have little or no knowledge of guns or ammo. 2, anytime you ask to see a weapon they act like you would just go away. I guess you cannot expect too much for $7/hr. Despite all this, they typically have cheap Monarch rifle/pistol practice ammo you cannot find at Wally World. I too will write a email to Corporate, even if it does find it's way into the recycle bin. +1 on buying from Cabela's--top notch folks.

Stay Salty out there.
They make a little more than $7 per hour but yes, one will find more knowledgeable people at a specialty store no matter what the specialty is. When was the last time a real plumber was found at a Home Depot? That's just the way it is. Money can be saved at the big stores but the saver better know what he needs before he gets there because that's just the way it has become.

Please refresh my memory because I've been past 21 much longer than it took me to get there but I thought that one couldn't purchase a firearm unless they were over 21.

Is this not the case or does it only apply to handguns?

Re: Acaemy's new gun sale policy (GRRRRR)

I've had to hand over my TDL for quite a while now. They also won't remove the trigger locks when one is inspecting. I've told them that this policy will limit my purchases to ammo and accessories. I would never purchase a firearm unless I already knew how it would feel, including how the trigger felt.

They are always very gracious and knowlegable but store policy is store policy. The guys I deal with are always top drawer.
