Which station are you referring to? KTRH 740, or a different one?

It's either guys from 740 or 950 as those are the ones I listen to. I think Joe Pags (sp?) is in the advertisement. I was planning on going after work since it was in the neighborhood, but now I won't.

As my forum signature says, "Do, or do not, there is no try." Pick one side or the other. These days there is no room for center ground.

I work a few miles (less than 10) away from the shop. They have been advertising on the local AM conservative radio stations, and have enlisted a number of AM personalities for an upcoming event. I was thinking about going just to see the place and meet a few of the radio people.

I like the fact that gun stores are going more "mainstream", and that we have an AM radio show dedicated to gun stuff in Houston. That being said, the store owner has mishandled this situation from the start. You HAVE to know your audience (customers) and no amount of "damage control" is going to resonate with this crowd. You either think one way or the other. Politically correct wiggle room has no place here. If you are going to take a stand (either side) at least stick up to your statements and support them, or say that what you said was not what you believe....state what you believe and leave it at that. From the forums that I have read, that has not been done.

I was going to the shop to see what was going on. I do spend fair amounts of money on gun stuff every year (all of you need to keep my wife in the dark about the true amount!) and I do try to support local dealers.

Either stand up to what you believe, or realize you are incorrect in your thinking and eat crow. Either way I would at least respect that. The way this is being handled currently has made my mind up to not go to his store...period.
