RE: There's something about a gun store.......
I have 3 big gunshops within 5 miles of me: A Cabela's, a Gander Mountain, and a Sportsman's Warehouse. I browse and look at different guns, if I really want something I often go to a local FFL holder to order it for me- he charges me $15.
There are 3 or 4 other gunshops withing 20 miles of me. One of them is a huge independant sportshop which I like to buy from because their prices are good and they have real live gunsmiths that work there. Another place is run by a doddering old fool, the prices are high, and the one time I asked if he could order me a Stag AR-15 lower, he told me "No, but I have this nice Chinese SKS if you're interested"[:@] Another place deals in high end stuff- FN, Barrett, Colt, Ed Brown, Les Baer, machine guns, Emerson knives- its a fun place to look but I can't afford anything in the store.
