The worst experience ever I think is buying something that looks like a deal on a whim, and then getting home only to see that you were really ripped.

i wanted to buy a gun from them when they were having a sale. the sale didn't specify if both the blued and stainless guns were on sale, but the floor manager approved the sale for the stainless gun.

before that happened i had to wait around an hour. then the faggot behind the counter was surprised that the manager approved it and went to "look" for the gun. he never found it and offered to sell me the display model, which if i didn't look over i would have bought in a different caliber than i wanted.

then i ended up waiting about another hour for the gun department manager to come by so he can special order it for me. he got there and told me he won't honor the price.

2 hours for fucking nothing. i was pissed so i filed a complaint with the bbb and they ended up selling me the gun for the sale price.

I got bitched out at a gun store when I was looking at the old lever action winchester shotguns.
The guy behind the desk kept insisting that guns in movies don't equal guns in real life because some western movie launched in movie theaters that weekend.

>>10239405

He's just being careful. Get your ducks in line and go back, fuck. Wash the sand out of your vagina you faggot.

I'm nogunz so I don't have any

>>10239429

How does one file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau? And how quickly does it reach them?

I'm seriously pissed about this, and they're the only people in the area that I've found that have the goddamned thing, and they actually have a decent price on it.

>dad is dyslexic
>goes to Gander Mountain to buy a gun

>he asks if the wife can read the paper to him, explains that he's dyslexic
>employee says NOPE, need 1 more witness
>everyone around him each volunteers to be a witness

After going through a bunch of shit, I went with them to Dunham's so he could get a different gun.

>>10239431

He's being unreasonable. My drivers license is valid and honored by the issuing state, Texas; the current state I'm in, Georgia; and every other goddamned state in the fucking union.

Because it's not goddamned expired.

My shit IS straight. The guy's a fucking moron.

>>10239446

And you're a fucking idiot who's helpless with the entire internet at your finger tips? Jesus christ go figure you're some useless welfare queen piece of shit worth nothing more than the horrible food you cook for the guys who actually work in the military.

Faggot.

You can always register for a Texas ID (non-driver's license).

:|

>>10239431
i guess it's easy to take a few days off in the military to go to a different states DMV so you can get a new license. learn to read faggot.

>>10239446
it took two or three weeks before the dick's head/store manager, or whatever he is called, got back to me. in all honesty, i was surprised he got back to me at all since that particular store wasn't even a member of the bbb.

here's a link, it's pretty self explanatory: https://www.bbb.org/consumer-complaints/file-a-complaint/get-started

>>10239460

y u mad, bro?

THIS

its some sales guy being a faggot. Plain and simple. All his paperwork is in order, guy has probably never sold a gun to an out of state resident before and doesnt want to face the ATF paperwork.

>>10239446

All Dicks carries are common fudd guns. Is that seriously the only place you know where to find a Marlin 795?

>>10239498

Everyone around here has the more expensive Model 70, but nobody has the 795.

Well, I confess that I haven't checked the Walmarts in the area, but all the actual gunstores don't have it.

>>10239405

As much as I hate to say it, he was completely within his rights not to sell it to you OP, the law is the law. It was the same way when I was a bartender and people would try to give me non-TABC valid forms of ID, the fact is we can get in serious fucking trouble, better safe than sorry. Next time get your fucking license renewed first

>>10239482

The kids that work the gun counter as this big box stores consider the background check a hassle. It annoys them, they rather not have to explain how to fill out the form to uniformed people, or call the hotline, etc, so they invent whatever excuse suits them so they can avoid it. They usually get away with it or can tell the manager that they didn't feel comfortable selling you a gun or some made up reason.

Just don't shop there again. Write a review if it makes you feel better.

Worst experience : Had local gun shop's gunsmith work on a Colt Woodsman I bought for my wife. The work orders got switched and instead of fixing the problem (magazine not engaging properly) he engraved some asshole's name in it and refinished it.

Gun shop, after some convincing, purchased a replacement. Took 3 months, many phone calls, and a threat to take them to small claims court.

>>10239515

Yeah, they're also just as within their rights to refuse to sell me a pocketknife for the same reason.

That doesn't make it any more legitimate or any less retarded of a course of action.

>>10239536
that sounds fucking hilarious.

what was the finish, just standard blue/park job or something fancy?

>>10239544
Parkerized. A 1934 production Colt Woodsman with 95% finish. 1934 95%. I wanted to die.

>>10239619
can you imagine if it got engraved with "nutnfancy" and was durracoated?

I wouldn't really get pissed at Dick's Sporting Stores for not giving you the weapon.

I mean....Fuck OP it's Dick's Sporting Goods not a gun store, just go to some local gun place, I am sure they can still give you a good rifle even without an expired license, so long as you check out as clean.

>>10239619

Oh good lord.

I want to go cry and do shots, now.

>>10239619
Your....your post actually makes me sad. I mean, even if you got a suitable/better replacement, to think that such a wonderful weapon has been raped like that...oh man.

>>10239632
As our friends on x say.

>>nope.jpg

Dick's has a terrible selection of everything. For hunting, I do to Cabela's. For snowboarding, I go to the House or REI. everything else, REI.

I just remembered there's a Sport's Authority in town, too. I'm going to go check them and the local Wal Marts out.

Spent half the day checking out the five gun stores in 30 miles, none of them had it. Two that had Marlin .22 semiautos only had the Papoose.

But I completely forgot about the other sporting goods stores. Only went to Dick's on a whim as I was going to the mall for some other shit.

>>10239450
Fuck Gander Mountain. Fuck them to hell.

Ha, that's nothing. Try going to bass pro shops and having the dumb bubbly cunt over the counter tell you that you need a permit to buy and own a fucking AR-15 because it's "like a really dangerous military grade weapon" that can kill a buhmillion people in a 100 meter radius with just one pull of the trigger. Got so disgusted I vowed never to go back and even called the general manager. He apologized but fuck, who lets such stupid people handle and sell guns? I'd expect this dumb shit from walmart but fuck...

>Be African-American, not a redguard
>Go anywhere gun related
>Funny looks and remarks

Fuck my life.

>>10239847
I used to sympathize but every time I let my guard down on a red guard, they prove to be yet again non-trustworthy.

Why I like dealing with my local fun store;

>Going in to look for a cheap carry gun to replace my P250 because it's awkwardly balanced and I wanted a better trigger pull
>Hear great things about the Ruger SR40c
>Shoot SR9c, enjoy it greatly, go across the street to fun store
> *guy who works the counters first name*, my p250 is kindof pissing me off, let me see one of those SR40c's
>*my name*, bill ruger might be a prick but that gun is nice, and has a great trigger. here, try it out.
>try it out, like the trigger and love the overall ergo's
>*fun store counter guys first name* I'll fuckin' take it
> 6 minutes later (as long as it took to fill out the form and get the background check) i'm walking out with the gun, wound up paying the advertised price (tax included) because I buy from there alot and I'm not a total dousche.

God I love supporting local businesses and having good relationships with cool people who make their living selling things I love buying.

>>10239869

Fucking Redguards.

Figures that if you play as a Redguard in every Elder Scrolls game, you're a fucking prisoner or a convict.

>>10239847
Don't worry. Being a nigger is a cultural thing.

You sir are not a nigger.

You're better off buying a gun online from buds or something.

>>10239847

That would so demoralize me man. My best solution when going into somewhere you expect they will have notions of you is to walk tall and be cool, if they're cool too they may warm to you.

>>10239405

Does anyone know what the listed requirements for identification are for firearms purchases in the US?

>>10239847

Wardrobe and diction does wonders for people's perceptions of us redguards. Get yourself some polos and button-down shirts (nice brands, not some walmart shit), talk properly, and smile.

Fellow redguard /k/ommando reporting in.

I also hate them. I got some revenge on them 3 weeks ago, though. I'll give you the tl;dr version:

> show up at store with a competitor's ad
> ad features $250 treestand for $150
> dicks has upgraded version for $450
> convince manager that it's the same treestand
> pay dick's $150 for $450 treestand

Yeah, but only Redguards have a persecution complex about it.

>>10240087

Yeah, but when I wasn't playing a Redguard, I was wrongfully imprisoned.

This shit happened to me.

>get off probation and p.o. tells me all is good for getting guns
>go to gun store a few years later
>going to purchase a smith 22 target pistol
>fail background check and guy cant tell me why

so i write to the court and file a petition to have it reviewed.
i state my case and tell them i was told and guaranteed it would be dropped to a misde upon completion of probation. call my old p.o. and he tells me the judge made a gaffe and it happens every now and then.

I can attest to this well. Went into Adventure Outdoors(BTW OP, go there to get your guns if you're in georgia.

Went wearing a plain green t-shirt, some decent jeans(With the belt at my fucking waist, not my ass like a dumbass), and my boots. Talked to the guys behind the counter. They were nice, courteous, and treated me like a non-redguard.

That place is awesome, too. They've got a fuckton of police trade-ins.(Mostly Glock 20s and 29s, and S&W 5906s and 5946s), for about 300-350 bucks.

OP: Dicks Sucks. Hardcore. I was told that "If I want to use a shotgun for skeet or anything, I'd better spend at least 600 bucks for a shotgun"

Not what types of shotguns to use, oh no, I must spend 600 bucks.

Dumbass.

>>10240221

Fuck that. That place is almost 4 hours away.

If the kid's the FFL holder for that shift, and he's not comfortable making the transaction, he can't do shit, and I can't do a damned thing to counter his "HURR DURR HE NEED LICENSE" crap without the laws physically in front of me.

>>10244306

Moreover, I just called, and got the situation cleared up in five minutes as soon as I talked to the FFL guy for the morning shift, because he actually knows what the hell he's talking about, and knows the other kid's a moron.

I'm not going to sit there and make a scene in the store with no real ammunition, and to absolutely no effect. It's a waste of my time, and it makes me look bad.

>>10239460

>complains about not using the internet to get his info
>when he's trying to use the internet to get his info

I went to Gander Mountain once.
I asked why their Mosins were much more expensive than another store, they said theirs were made by Century.

I turned 360 degrees and moonwalked out of the store.

>>10244390
>Moonwalked away

Awesome.

>>10239405
Should've told the kidiot behind the counter that he was wrong, and that you were going to speak to his supervisor tomorrow morning for:
1) not knowing how to do his job
and
2) costing the company sales

Get your gift card or whatever, and DO NOT spend your real money in that store.

so uh, why not go at a different time so that employee wont be there

>>10244227

There you go.

Store policy !== state law

Are you 12 or something? I got refused service at a bar once just for having a vertical instead of horizontal I.D. can't do much about it.

Dick's is hilarious. I love their buy one get one sales on ammo that bring the price for 2 boxes down JUST enough to be on par with what everyone else is charging.

>mfw

>>10244568
people see that vertical id and automatically assume you are under 21. did u show them that the under 21 until date has already passed?

Wants to buy a gun.

I might not feel comfortable selling you a gun either, what with your anger problems and all.

>>10244598
But he wanted to go home and shoot his girlfriend/wife for cheating on him when he was deployed.

>>10244584
He said straight to my face that he knew I'm 23 but his manager recently made it store policy to only serve people with horizontal I.D.s

He apologized for the inconvenience and I said it's okay and me and my gf just got wasted at the bar down the street instead.

This is how normal adults handle situations like this.

>>10244628
thats one of the most retarded store policies I ever heard. too lazy/dumb to check the id?

>>10244651
I guess they got in too much trouble with ABC in the past with kids with fake ID's and the like so they just made a blanket policy.

Like they fucking owe you the sale of a gun? Fuck you...I wouldn't have sold you one just because you are a dick.

>>10244534

Finland.

>>10244689
Isn't Finland one of the more gun friendly European countries?

>>10244689

Oh, SL-8 is not in picture. Posting.

>>10244694

Well, yes and no. Getting permits for handguns has become a chore, but on the other hand, no stupid limitations on evil features / models on rifles. As long as it is 84cm long, all is well. In practice, no folders, no sbrs. (well, you can get a folder, say, G3, as long as it is 840mm long when folded).

>>10244598

I didn't say screaming, I said 'shouting at the man'.

Because he's wrong, he's a fucking idiot on more than one count, and I knew it and offered to prove it to him, and he refused to hear any of it.

You're a damned liar if you wouldn't have been angry and frustrated at the man for the same.

But whatever, I don't particularly care what you think. I just got back with my new Marlin 795, which alone is more firearms than you likely own, and after a few minutes of fucking around with it, it's going to go in my safe with the rest of my firearms.

>>10244565

Yes, I am/was buttmad about being refused service by some retarded manager who didn't fucking know what the hell he's talking about, when he's wrong, I know he's wrong, and even he suspects that he's wrong, but he's too stubborn to budge and admit that he's wrong, and reverse his previous decision.

>>10244568

It wasn't store policy, it was the manager not knowing what the fuck he was talking about.

>>10244700
Oh, it's not as loosely regulated as I thought it was.

>>10244674

>he thinks I was anything but polite and reasonable at any point while dealing with staff

Protip: Don't ever be rude with people in service industries. It gets you nowhere.

I *wanted* to shout at the man, because he's an infuriating simpleton and he shouldn't be a manager who approves firearms sales if he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

I didn't however, because it would have been pointless, and it would have made me the bad guy.

You act like you just figured out you get a better response from people when you smile and say 'please' and 'thank you'.

>>10244223

Damn glock numbers, I meant the Glock 22 and 23.

They did have a Glock 20 and Glock 29, but they weren't 300 bucks. I just saw the 10mm, equated it to .40 S&W, and derped.

My bad.

>>10239847
Just remember this, my friend

I work in the Lodge dept (gun counter) at Dick's in Austin. The valid id thing is part of our training but a valid military id should have made that a non issue. I would suggest contacting the store manager, make sure its the actual store manager because each dept has its own manager, because they have the power to override any store policy or price. If you tell me where the store is at I may even be able to give you their Manager's name or if another store in the area has the same gun.

>>10240140

i loled

Damn, OP. Go somewhere else if you can. If you can't, make a complaint.

>>10246339
>>10246597

No need, I would have made a big stink about it if another manager had reinforced the first's decision, but apparently, the first guy who told me "I'm not comfortable" was the manager for that shift...Talked to a guy this morning and he basically said, "Uh...No. That guy's an idiot. Just bring your military ID, PCS orders to Fort Whatever, and a bill showing proof of residency." They didn't even touch my DL.

The guy was just an idiot. Frustrated me, yeah, but if it's some isolated retard, it's not worth making a huge stink over, honestly, if I got what I wanted in less than 24 hours, and with complete and total cooperation from multiple store employees aside from the one dipshit.

FUCKING GUNSTOP

Attempted twice to buy an AR-15 stripped lower and get it transferred to the only FFL dealer near me, and twice was I given the runaround.

I think they're too keen on hunters and deer piss to do business with people that don't like wearing camou while not hunting.

Fortunately a new place much more willing to do business has gotten mine since then.
