This is a good point. Going into a store to check a price is one thing, but spending 30 mins of an employee's time asking questions/trying out different guns is another. As with everything you also have to weigh the importance of immediate satisfaction as well. Yes, you may be able to order it online for $40 less, but is it worth your time waiting 1-2 weeks to get it?tacticool wrote:In general, I agree with you.alvins wrote:personally i dont understand the whole support your local gun shop thing. maybe if they were worth shopping at then i would understand. but most of them like carters country or such act like your an inconvience for even coming in.
However, there are people who actually enjoy the experience of shopping at their local store but will turn around and buy online to save a few bucks, and I'm not talking about saving 20% on a $500 gun. I'm talking about saving 10% on a holster or a box of ammo. I have nothing against someone price shopping if they know exactly what they want. But if someone goes into a gun shop and tries a half dozen holsters to find the right one, the decent thing to do is buy the holster from the store even if the store price is five bucks more than online. The same is true for other consumer products.
