Anyone know where I can get a IWB holster for a German Shepherd?
Off topic, but why are the pop-up ads now appearing on the site? On the bottom of the page, damn things! By Ad Choices,
Your post seems to hit the nail on the head. I have come across far too many folks who bought a handgun based upon the blind advice of one of their “gun guy” friends or the guy behind the counter just trying to make a sale. Whenever someone asks me what kind of gun they should get, my first question is “What do you want it for?”. At the very least that will give me a frame of mind to make a recommendation of a few things to choose from. The next thing I tell them is to go to their local range and rent as many of their offered rental guns as possible to get a feel for what they are looking at. I’ve seen far too many people just blindly buy a particular handgun just based upon the hype that surrounds it *cough…Glock….cough….cough*, when it’s features simply do not match what they need or their capabilities.
A major part of the problem that is feeding into this “good idea fairy” issue at hand is that gun shops are just so bloody busy now that, even a dedicated and honest gun store employee simply isn’t given the time to take a customer through the paces to get them something they need. Questions go unanswered and the grandma that wanted the purse gun will walk out of the gun shop with a tool she doesn’t know how to use or worse, simply isn’t capable of using.
It is the responsibility of us in the industry to fight this issue constantly and work to bring the integrity back to getting people what they actually need versus what you can sell them….or what your favorite gun is. Something that works for me simply isn’t going to work for the 64 year old grandmother who has never shot a round in her life, and now she’s stuck with a several hundred dollar investment that is of zero use to her. Please folks, if someone asks you what gun to buy and you don’t have something useful to offer them find someone who does and can take the time to provide the help.
Post the warrant and the affidavit.
“Make schools safer”. As above, so below: “we can fix this by gun-and-smart-free zones, billions in PR, and by simply declaring an end to the violence.”
DONE! How nice is THAT?
