I went to cabelas after work to buy some range ammo for my Taurus TCP. Im just casually looking at the selection and i see out of the corner of my eye one of the "Gun guys" who works there. He proceded to grill me on ammo and why i shouldnt buy hollowpoints for my .380 (didnt ask for his angry opinion) and asked why i wanted to buy ammo today and i told him that i was just looking to buy some to break in the new Taurus and how i was waiting on my carry permit. He then flies off the hangle about how awful Taurus is and how all their guns are made in South America and everyone hes ever owned (which apparently was everyone one of them) was a piece of crap. I informed him that many are now made in Miami and he just wouldnt believe it and looked at me like i was clueless.
I tend to have a lot of patience for people like this.
To top it off he starts asking me what sort of hearing protection i use at the range and i told him i use ear plugs. He flies off the handle and tells me that i am going to go deaf and tries to sell me a 50 dollar headset ad a box of earplugs. I calmly turned around and walked away.
I have never had an experience like this at that store and it has left me kind of sour.
