The Firing Line

[sneakerd]

Never meant to imply you were out of line, as I said- nothing personal. It was kind of a tongue-in-cheek statement. TDYRanger and I went there last Friday to do some shootin'. We experienced two employees there who were leaning right into the asshole cage. It's actually the first time I've seen that there. At what 1pm, the entire lot was full. I asked the short guy with the Brit accent what was up, he said it was some kind of city furlough day (Comments Off Topic/Possibly Inflamitory). As we were shooting on the member's side- no wait, but supposedly an hour wait on the public side. It can and does happen everywhere, but there aren't too many places around with that stock and a range. I always go and do some shootin', take a break and shop, then finish up. I'll buy anybody here a drink anytime, even if we disagree!

Unless you're a Democrat. Then I'll have to think about it.

Nothing personal taken sir. I get ya.

So I just called to see where I'm at. All the guy tells me is that the guy is there and if he gets to it he'll call me. I explain the situation to him, paid for faster shipping, told I would bed able to pick it up same day and you've had it for three.. Response is we'll get to it when we get to it.

They will NEVER see another cent from me. They act like they're the only firearms dealer around.. If I could have my item removed from them and shipped somewhere else I would. And I'd gladly wait while it happened to keep them from getting my money at all!

All these stories tells me that Bowers' needs to get an FFL ASAP.

[Jmetz]

Amen to that!

[Squeeze]

AMEN! They are working on it, so I have been told. I hope it will be soon.

[StagLefty]

I think Mike is planning on it sometime this year ?

I think Mike is planning on it sometime this year ?

He is, that's why I mentioned it. I don't really trust or care to deal with shipping a gun to anyone else. Plus, I know Mike prices his stuff reasonably, so I'd just buy straight from him.

[MuzzleFlash]

If you were sending it a gunsmith for repair, you didnt have to deal with an FFL. Still has to go UPS or FedEx.

Actually a private citizen can send a long gun or a handgun to any FFL - doesn't have to be for gunsmithing. The return trip is the case where gunsmithing becomes a factor. Why didn't he just send it UPS himself?

I couldn't agree more about Firing Line. I've been with Dusty Johnson for most of his visits there as well and I was completely turned off from them. I will never again set foot in that place and neither will anyone I shoot with.

Anyways, if you live in the Firestone area, I highly recommend the FFL below. He's a coworker of mine (in LE).
