"The Lifetime LTCH is going away at the end of the year."
The stupidest thing I've actually, personally heard was, "You should buy this $1300 AR today. It was $650 last week, and next week, it'll be $2600, and the prices are not going to come back down."
Gander Mt douche. Walk in simply to look. Never buy. Wife wants to look at a small carry gun. We look at the Sig p238. She's sorta of recoil sensitive. Tell this to the sales douche.
According to him, what she really needs is this. He brings her a S&W Airwieght! Really?
I go into the LGS in Muncie (McGalliard Guns & More) looking for a .22 rifle to plink & target shoot with. At that time I wanted to spend around $100 but I was interested in a sales presentation on why I should spend a little more as my budget allowed for more if a compelling reason was offered. A good working used rifle would have been fine. I get helped by a gentleman who is not dressed the same as the others in the store, although I have seen him around them in the store and at gun shows more than once, who tells me a long and confusing tale about his 10-22 with bull barrel that outshoots an Anschutz in competitions. Now at this point in my education a bull barrel and what it does is about as obvious to me as the function of a football bat. The lone 10-22 on display was a basic model for $300.
Story #2 at the same LGS happened after a bought a used Savage-Stevens rifle at a gun show for $150 but now I am looking for a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield. They didn't have one in the case so I inquired when they would get some. One of the clerks, this time I got one dressed in the uniform of the store, informed me they had some on order that would arrive in 10-14 days. I inquired about the price (knowing suggested retail was at that time $449.00) he said it would be $599. I thanked him for his answer and haven't returned. I bought one elsewhere for $459 as I am not opposed to a business making a profit.

I really hope you're kidding...but I doubt you are!Gander mtn Merrillville.
I over heard the girl behind the counter showing a gun
to a dude and she said:
"This is a great gun all the managers carry one."
He walked away and then I asked to see a different gun
and she told me:
"This is a great gun all the managers carry one."

Went into a shop in Brazil many moons ago with a friend who was looking for a .41 Mag revolver. Shop had one and my friend made an offer that was accepted by the counter guy. My friend said "I have to go get cash from the bank across the street, I'll be back in 5 minutes to buy the gun". Counter guy said "if you don't buy it right now, I'll charge you full sticker price". Friends said "I will buy it, it will just take me 5 minutes to get the cash". I offered to stay at the shop while he went to get the cash so that the clerk wouldn't think we weren't coming back. Clerk said "as soon as you set foot out the door, our deal is off, either buy now for the agreed price or buy later at full sticker price". My friend said he wouldn't be buying the gun at all if that was the case. Clerk said "ok then I think you are done .
I really hope you're kidding...but I doubt you are!
They do, that IS the worst part. Thats one thing Ive seen as a constant with any con artist (figurative or actual) Ive ever met. Thats what makes these things seem even more incredible.The 1500 yard pop can guy was also worth $500 million dollars and would work 7 12 hour day weeks if they'd let him. I also remember him telling that he had 9 different women from work that'd he take home to his wife.
What's even worse than the lies is that I think these people believe themselves.
