My ex's cousin, Jamie Rouse, killed and injured multiple students and teachers at his school in Giles County. This will be devistating for so many more people than the shooter and shooting victim.

Also, you may want to read through my AR thread. I had tons of questions, and I got lots of good answers. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9471

Sorry, I fixed it.

I was thinking that's what it meant, but I wanted to make sure I was understanding it correctly. -
Did they ever send you any of that "free stuff"? They claim to send you all kinds of free stuff to try out.
-
No, the XDM only comes in .40S&W. And they don't have a tactical model, either. Just one more ignorant LSN user. People on the plateau should stop breeding.

Obviously there were plenty of "don't ask, don't tell" folks involved in the designing of that uniform. I'm just sayin;.

North American Hunting Club <------- That was supposed to be the title. Is anyone a member? I got a packet in the mail, but I have no idea how they got my information. It sounds interestung enough, and for only $1/month, how could I go wrong by joining? So, what say you?

Do the tickets need to be purchased at Guns & Leather in order to get the $30 in free ammo? -
CDNN Sports, Inc. also gives a discount (10%) for C&R FFL holders. Does anyone know the discount for places like Midway and Brownells? Is it a certian percentage?
-
No problem. 1 free gun for each of us with such wonderful input, and I guess we can call it even.
-
No, you haven't. But thank you. Feel free to steal it and use it as you see fit. I did.

Seriously though--I would see no problem with a spinning rack like the one pictured. This would be especially true in a store like yours. You did have a great selection of firearms, but I'm sure there were plenty in the back that were too nice to put on the showroom floor. This would allow you to showcase an even larger selection out in the open.

I will be there! Now that you've mentioned "free ammo", I guess I'll let my girlfriend tag along. -
I think it's a great idea. Not only will it keep the higher-end guns safe from careless customers, but I'm guessing it would also do a pretty good job protecting the very same guns from goofy employees who are pushing (and flipping over) huge metal desks through the showroom.
-
Yes, I saw that just a bit ago. LSN is full of folks who have no cluse when it comes to the actual value of firearms.

I really have to agree with most of this. I've spent entirely too much time visiting gun stores, gun shows, sporting goods stores, online retailers, ect., and it always amazes me at the price differences I often find. It's not necessarily the actual price difference that's somewhat shocking, it's which dealers are charging the highest prices. I have a hard time understanding how dealers who are obviously selling items in a much greater volume, sometimes have the higher(est) prices. It would seem to me that they should be able to sell these items cheaper than many other dealers, simply based on the volume of business they're doing. If they are selling more, one would think they are getting a better deal from their suppliers. Most suppliers I've dealt with will usually give a discount to those who buy and sell in larger quantities. If this is the case, they should be able to pass that saving down to the customer. I don't seem to be seeing this very often. As an example, I was recently in the market for some PMAG's. Most of the places I looked were seeling them (30-round, black, windowless) for $15-$17, before taxes. I was in a couple gun stores (who obviously seem to be making a very nice living) who wanted $20+, before taxes. I ended up buying some for $16/OTD from a vendor here on TGO. No, the roughtly $15 savings (on 3 PMAG's) isn't going to make or break me, but it's the fact of the matter. I guess as long as people are willing to pay the extra money things will stay the same. Ever since Al Gore invented the internet, things in the business world have not been the same. A company can no long base it's prices simply on what they guy across the street is charging. It's a whole new ball game. The competition is much more vast. Like it or not, that's just how it is. The internet is the devil, just like Wal-Mart. I've talked to more than one gun dealer who has major issues with the online vendors, but takes no issue with a company like Wal-Mart. They want to b***h about how online vendors cut the throat of the little local guy, but seem to love shopping at Wal-Mart. This doesn't make one ounce of sense to me. I bet if Wal-Mart was to open full fledged gun stores in every location, the little local guys would be singing a whole different tune. They would all of a sudden hate Wal-Mart for taking most of their business away. Fact is, this is no longer the day and age of the little guy. Most people actually care about getting the best price possible. Most people actually care about living the best lives, themselves, and keeping as much of their own money as possible. Not everyone has the ability to forget their own quality of life just so they can keep spending more at the little guys store. That does nothing but help ensure the quality of life for the business owners who already have the money. Is this the way things should be? Well, that's debatable. What's not debatable is reality. Like it or not, that's the way things are. The little guy needs to learn how to adjust to the changes. Hearing business owners b***h about where consumers spend money can be quite irritating. This is especially true when the said buisness owner is living in a home that's worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, with a driveway, yard, home full of vehicles and toys worth hundreds of thousands of dollars more. The same business owner usually manages to take great expensive vacations and spend money like many American's only dream about. No, there is nothing wrong with living the best quality of life possible, and that's the exact reason it irritates me to see business owners get down on those who try to save money where they can. Business owners want to keep as much money in their bank accounts and pockets as they can, so why is it such a shame for the rest of America to want the very same? Anyway, I really didn't really mean to get off on such a rant. Fact is, there's very few dealers I refuse to deal with. If they have what I want, at a price I'm willing to pay, I buy it. I don't generally get worked up over some of the other complaints I've seen in the thread. As a consumer, I understand where most of them are coming from, but as consumers, we must understand that there are a whole lot of us with different personalities, needs and wants. No matter how hard the dealers try, they will never be able to make everyone happy. Just reading through this thread, it's obvious that the way one customer wants to be treaded when walking into a shop, may not be the same for the customer who walks in right behind him/her.

Here is a link to a thread that may be helpful. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=14&t=168079&page=1

MidwayUSA - Fax Number - 1800.992.8312 I asked the lady if they needed any other information besides the FFL, and she told me to send in a copy of a business license. Does anyone know if this is necessary? I called back, and they said it's not necessary to have a business license.
-
Now I need a list of companies like MidwayUSA who accept the C&R FFL for discounts. I probably wouldn't be interested in C&R dealers at this time. Ammo and accessories are what I'd like to focus on first.
-
I would give them a call. Make sure they got it.

I used my debit card. The money was taken from my account in less than a week after I sent the papers.
