I know a couple of guys like this, it makes me sad that stupid is becoming more common. I'm not sure I'll be telling the guy at pump 6 that his brake light is out anymore. He might just have a cool badge on his holster.
Frontiersman Sports has been my neighborhood gun store my whole life. I trust their opinions and advice. Not as cheap as the big chain stores but the service makes up for the couple dollars difference. I've known Marv for at least 20 years. I always wait for him to help me. The other guys are great ...
