Re: Gander Mountain shopping

Although not impossible, i'd be surprised if Gander Mountain was actually involved in doing that.drjoker wrote:Dude, you know why Gander mountain is more expensive than Wal Mart? They get their stuff FROM Wal Mart! That's why Wal Mart keeps running out of stuff!
I bought a large amount of 380 ammo from Cabela's recently and they asked me for my I.D. and phone number and looked me up in their database. I asked why, they've never asked me for that before. They replied that certain unscrupulous people have been hogging 380 ammo and reselling them at other retail stores (Gander Mountain) and gun shows and they're trying to only sell stuff to their real customers instead.
So, don't get 380 ammo from Gander Mountain and gun shows! They're not buying from wholesalers and selling to customers. They're buying from Wal Mart and then price gouging people.
If you're wanting to get stuff from the Wal Mart that agreed with anti-gun mayor Bloomberg to not sell guns anymore in most of their stores and to REGISTER your gun sales, then you should really reconsider that. ( http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.h ... A96E9C8B63 ) Wal Mart also stopped selling guns at the request of anti gun liberals during Katrina in Louisiana, when residents most desperately needed guns to protect themselves from looters. ( http://www.boston.com/news/weather/arti ... customers/ )Wal Mart also sells fake "made in the USA" stuff. Their brand name labels say "Made in the USA", but is really made by Chinese labor boated into Taipan, an American territory in the Pacific. (Air America Radio broadcast during the whole Tom Delay scandal) Or the merchandise is 99% made overseas and then shipped into the USA where the "Made in the USA" label is sewed on. Since slave labor in gulags in China is so cheap (free), the act of sewing the "made in the USA" label on it makes it more than 50% "made in the USA" and therefore this is legal to do. (this is a common practice in today's multinational manufacturing, so Wal Mart actually is not the only one guilty of this. Automakers, Victoria's Secrets, etc are also guilty of this) When you think about it like that, you'll be surprised to find yourself suddenly NOT buying anything anymore from Wal Mart. Boycott Wal Mart!
You know, I've posted earlier that we're losing our rights, including 2nd A rights, because we're cheap and lazy. Well, here's an example of this. Yes, Wal Mart is cheap, but FREEDOM IS NOT FREE. Please boycott Wal Mart and buy stuff elsewhere such as Whole Foods, HEB, Starbucks, Cabela's, Piggly Wiggly, etc. Thank you, my fellow patriots!
Kudos to the following;
Cabela's NRA support day where they had a sale for NRA members.
Starbucks for choosing to pursue corporate profits instead of politics. They posted no signs for or against guns in their stores.
Whole Foods for giving their American workers a living wage, not installing unemployment causing self-checkout stations, and not posting any 30.06 signs.
HEB and Piggly Wiggly, I just can't find anything negative on the net about them. I just put them there because not everyone has access to Whole Foods.
The best places to shop are those mom and pop joints because the money is circulated locally. In other words, the owners of those mom and pop joints will eventually spend the money on you by being your customer.
I agree the local independents should be first choice. I will spend a little extra to try to keep them going any time I can. 
WOW!! They did have some Critical Defense .380 for $24, which really suprised me bc of the rest of the prices, but that is still high. Needless to say, they won't be getting any of my money for ammo or shooting suplies. I would rather pay range prices for ammo!!
