Local Gun Shop vs. The Mart

I live in a smaller city with only a handful of local gun shops. Most have virtually no inventory. One I will never step foot in again (*). The larger shop that is well staffed, good inventory and year round range has frustrated me a couple of times. Wondering if it is common for local gun shops or just the way they choose to do business.

Was in a week ago shopping for a 22. They had a Ruger 10/22 Takedown in stock and I spent some time looking at it as well as a few other 22’s they had in stock. Left to do some research online and went back a few days later after I made my decision to buy it. The 10/22 they had in stock was sold, they did not know when they would get another one in. I asked if they could call me when another arrived at their store so I could come in and buy it. Their response was they do not know when it is coming in and I should just call to see if they have any in stock. No interest in taking my name and number to call me for what was basically a guaranteed sale. Read more
