Double Action is a gun store and range in Oakland County that I've been going to for quite some time now, that has been recommended to me by numerous people. Every time I go in there however, it seems like I'm left with something to be fuming about. I've finally gotten to the point to where I feel not only the need to share my personal experiences, but also I personally have decided to completely boycott ever going to this store again.
Once I joined the Open Carry community, I was a bit nervous to begin open carrying. My friend brought me to the site, and insisted that we should OC sometime. We decided to OC to Double Action for some fun at the range. I figured since every employee there was OC'ing, hey, we'd fit right in, right? Wrong. I got nothing but stares when I was in there by ALL of the employees. Finally one of the women behind the counter demanded to see my LEO badge. I informed her that I was not LEO or a security officer, and stated that OC is legal in Michigan. She then informed me that OC is against their policy unless you are a LEO, then told me to read their rules posted on the wall. I did so, and found absolutely nothing about OC. When I mentioned this to her, I was asked to leave.
I decided that since DA was the closest gun range to me, I'd give it another whirl, and this time just conceal my firearm since I have a CPL anyway. I went to purchase some ammo from them since they're a gunstore, and one of the only places that regularly stocks ammunition. I figured I'd just purchase a few boxes for home defense, and also planned on getting some better personal protection ammunition, considering i'm only carrying WWB JHP's at the moment. I was informed that all ammunition sold at their store now must be consumed on their firing range, with no exceptions. Therefore, unless I planned on using that personal protection ammunition on their range, I was SOL. I left the place shaking my head once again in frustration.
I recently decided to buy a Glock 23. I called various places, pricing out guns. Of course, I called DA. They informed me that they didn't have any Glock 23's, or Glock 23's with nightsights, and hung up on me. I called back and informed them that they hung up on me, and that I wasn't done speaking yet, and wanted to know if they could order a Glock 23 for me. He simply stated "No," then once again hung up on me.
Unfortunately, I don't know what else to do other than inform people of the negative experiences I've had at this place. I know they have two very long ranges for distance, and their ranges are good, but personally, if I'm going to be treated this way every time I have an encounter with the store, I'll just go to another range.
