Dr,

There is also a lot of public land in WV (Sleepy Creek), just southwest of Hagerstown, if you'd care to check that out.

It's a shame those keystone guys acted like that.

I was in a gun shop (Valley Guns, Inwood WV) yesterday. I walked in just to look around. There were two employees and 1 other customer. I was in there for 10 minutes and they never even addressed me or asked "can I help you?". I just walked out swearing I'd never go back there. For some reason it seems like a lot of the smaller "pro shops" have some kind of attitude, like they are doing the customer a favor...piss poor business practice.

It was not that way at Spark's in Martinsburg (unfortunately, they are closing, as the owner is retiring). The "ace" guy in their shop though (his name is "Curtis") is opening up his own shop on route 11 between Martinsburg and hagerstown (called Tannerman's) after January 1, and I recommend everyone give his place a try as you will never be dissappointed with the info, service, or technical prowess he has to offer....sorry this post is so long

A; Tom Millay at Valley Guns is 100%..and you obviously want to be high pressured,which is NOT his style...I've known Tom for over 30 years....your bad report is uncalled for.... and as for Sparks... I remember when Sparky Pharr had the store downtown Martinsburg, buying the store from Spickler......there's a reason Sparks is closing.....
