The Fort Hood PX, have over a dozen High End hand guns Kimbers, Colt, ect) that are set at FULL retail prices, and look as if they have been dragged behind a car for each trip from safe to counter and back.
Whose fault is that?

Then who is abusing the high end guns?
The employees by design and order, and the management by default that failed to provide a quality, protecting storage and transfer from case to storage method.. Up until a few months ago,, twice each day, a cart was rolled out, the hand guns were heaped in a pile on the open cart, and the cart was rolled back to the safe,, ,, repeat each day..
NOW, what you have and though I’m in Afghanistan at the moment, anyone else is free to go check and see that damage and take some pictures to post.. There is a glass case full of damaged (cosmetically) high end hand guns. I have made suggest and comments to management several time over the several years, all on deaf ears,, “That’s the way it is, management “higher” does not care.
My understanding is they now properly transfer and store the hands guns to prevent damage.. I made offers to purchase at a discount several of the damaged hand guns and was flat out told no, no deals no care if they sat there at full retail forever.
