I used to think Cosner's the same way that many do here on INGO. I've had occasion to have a couple of good experiences in the store the last couple of times I visited (I'm a glutton for punishment).
That said, after I discovered ACME and Bite the Bullet in Seymour, I doubt I'll be back to Cosner's unless I need ice.
I still go in once in a while, I enjoy givin' Dave some sometimes I think he respects people that give it right back to him, and I do.
I see you're in Columbus, so here's my advice.
Skip the drive to Bedford, you can have the "Cosner's Experience" right in Seymour.
Here's what you do:
1) Drive to Acme in Seymour.
2) Go in, buy something. Give Clint or Joe an extra 25%, and request they insult your intelligence, and maybe your heritage.
3) Go outside and spit straight up in the air so that it lands in your own face. At the same time, smack yourself in the nuggets with a tire iron.
4) Get in car and go home.
There you have it. Cosner's without the drive.
How is their selection of folding knives? Does anyone know if they have HP ammo for a 9mm? Not picky with regard to brand...have ball in the 9 now since its all I can find around Bloomington.
I love cosners. I allways here the bad comments but my experience has not been what I hear. They have a good selection. Quality I dont see anywere else locally. And contrary to popular wisdom they deal. I can allways trade with David and all but one of his employees allways are curtious. I think the one old bearded annoying guy has been there long enough to offend alot of people but I just ignore and avoid him and deal with David.
