Daves Guns in Aurora -100

How many big box, carbon copy sporting goods stores do we need? Is it the Starbucks mentality of one one every block? I guess it's sad to see another gun shop go under but I won't miss Dave's.

Did anyone ever hear about them working with the FBI to bust people trying to buy illegal weapons? I had a "tinfoil hat" friend, back when Bob Glass' shop (Paladin Arms) was open. He was telling me all these stories about Dave's.

he's another one who believed their stuff was mad out of unobtainium. $20+ for 9mm sten mags. i never saw an ar for under $1200. that was before the crime bill
as for the tinfoil hat "friend" you mentioned in the same sentence as bob glass.
are you saying bob glass was the tinfoil hat who told you this, OR did some friend tell you this when bob glass' store was open.???
big difference in credibility. altough bob was/is a tinfoil hat. that statement doesn't lend substance to anything other to put online another
rumor.

Jim,

Bob was NOT the source of the stories. I edited my previous statements.

Is Dave the one who used to call everyone by, "Hey bruther!"

Dave's was kind of a love hate thing for me. I thought they had a pretty good inventory. Becuase of their "higher" prices, I was able to consign a few guns there and get a ok amount for them. I figured if their prices were high then my used guns looked pretty good.

I also scoffed at Dave's message outside their store when I went by and saw it...

Back when they were closing, they had a 92FS I wanted...price was $599...I said I could go get it at Firing Line for $450, but I wanted to support them if they would price match...they told me if I could get it cheaper than them to go ahead and do so, but I wouldnt be paying only a 2.5% sales tax...

I dont see how a 5% tax difference would offset $150 extra on the initial purchase...

They were gun snobs if there ever were any...

Most of those places no longer exist...Ive called quite a few of the phone numbers on there and got disconnected messages...

I found a couple of S&W Performance Center specials a number of years ago but never went back other than to look because of their high prices. Here's the only things I ever bought from them.

That is a very nice pair of handguns!
