I went to Memphis' favorite gun store today to get another M&P 15-22. I sold the old one to a forum member and naturally I regretted it. Today I got the MOE version because I am a Magpul slut.
Surprisingly the store was not very crowded this morning. Not surprising was the fact that I was ignored for ten to fifteen minutes. That turned out to be a good thing. While the fat walrus looking guy pretended not to see a six foot tall overweight man standing in front of him a good lookin young lady walked in.
I chatted up the young lady while she received the mandatory brush off. Seems she had recently purchased a pistol there and was having second thoughts ( her reason for the return was that she was moving out of state and did not want the hassle of learning the new states gun laws or trying to obtain a permit).
The young lady stated that the guy that she purchased the pistol from assured her that she could return it for a fair price when she spoke to him on the telephone (naturally he could not be found when she arrived).
One of the guys takes the pistol goes to the back to get an appraisal. I am certain by my dealings with them that means that he is taking a piss and a smoke break. A few minutes later he returns and offers $120 for her lnib Ruger LCP. She appeared to know that she would not get close to what she paid for it, but I don't think she came prepared to get screwed again so soon after Valentines day. ZING!
She does the smart thing and retrieves her pistol then leaves the store. After about 10 seconds of thought I followed her out of the store and asked her what she wanted for the pistol.
Fast forward. I paid closer to what she was expecting, but not enough not to make it a very good deal for me. That's all I have to say about that.
Keep in mind that I have no need for an LCP. However, I have been curious about them since they were first advertised. I also wanted to know why the LCP and 380 ammo had been so hard to find. I am now the owner of a interesting little LCP. I think that this is going to be fun.
