But anyway, the employees are great because none of them knows a damn thing about guns but they are REALLY. Enthusiastic about saying or doing whatever it takes to get me to buy whatever gun I want. I appreciate good salesmanship, and enthusiast goes a long way. Sure, I could sneer at their ignorance...but I could also read the archives on Gun Nuts and remember there was a time when I thought the Taurus Tracker was the god-king of .357 Magnum revolvers. Those kids at the gun shop are lucky their person derp isn't on the internet for all of eternity.
