I bought one shotgun from the nearest Cabela's.
They shipped it free from another store so I could examine it. The salesmen knew nothing about it, which is OK with me. I can do my own due diligence, and probably got it much cheaper than if they actually knew what they were selling.
A knowledgeable gun dealer can be a big help sometimes. But there are extremely knowledgeable gun sellers who take advantage of customers who aren't savvy. It can cut both ways.
The only problem was they insisted on doing a 4473 transfer even though I showed proof that it was a pre-1899 antique. The instant check was slow, so they wasted my time.
Knocking gun dealers happens often here., and it doesn't hurt when they are actually cheating. I'd rather knock the anti-gun Democrats who wish to restrict, tax, or eliminate all gun sellers. In a target rich environment, we should pick targets that are actually a threat to us. Let the Democrats have their way, and everyone here will wish there was still a Cabela's gun library.
