These are excellent examples of what we deal with, and it gets much worse if a) your knowledge is limited and b) if you're alone. And yes, requesting a manager will usually resolve the problem. If it doesn't, we then get to find out if he's just stupid or stupid mean.hestes wrote:I've had the exact same problem...that is once I can get the salesman's attention. Apparently, being female can make you invisible at the gun counter.Mininut wrote:Has anyone else had issues while looking at guns. I went to the San Antonio Academy on Military Dr to look at the
Taurus Raging Judge magnum because they are the only ones in town that had one in stock. Keep in mind this is a large gun that shoots .410/.45LC and .454 casull.
As soon as I asked to see it the guy behind the counter says " you don't want to see that gun, you want to look at this" and he pulls out a .380. I informed him if I had wanted to see a .380 I would have asked for one. I literally received 5 minutes of grief from this "kid" because the Raging Judge magnum was "to much gun" for me. Gratz to you Academy, you just lost a sale.
I carry a 1911 .45 and/or a Taurus Judge Public Defender.. I frequently get comments from guys at gun stores about it being "to much gun". One guy at cabella's actually told me that I couldn't conceal a .45 because it was so heavy it would pull my pants down.
How do you combat stupid people while shopping for a gun?I do love it when they try to make the sale to my Husband, and his response is to turn and look at me and say something like "it's your gun, what do you want?". LOVE HIM!
At the auto parts store one day, the guy says to me "you should have your boyfriend take care of this for you"... *sigh*
Thanks for listening.
