Northshore QFC

I have been stopping in the Northshore QFC for sometime now to pick up movies at the Redbox there with no issues or comments. The Redbox is right in front of all of the self checkout registers and there is always an associate standing there as well. Also, for the last several weeks the Girl Scouts were out selling their cookies by the door so there was always a crowd, girls and their parents. And again, no comments or issues....

Yes, that is how OC has become for me... boring.... which is a great thing!
Why is it boring you ask?

To those out there that read this thread from time to time...

it is boring because of my behavior... I act courteous, kind, professional and polite. I dress respectable and carry myself with dignity in public and thus no one notices. Those that do notice are immediately reassured that it is a law abiding citizen and not someone else....

Walmart down here charges $10.47 a box. I get my plink round for $9-$9.50 at Surplus in Lakewood!

Anyone been to surplus ammo down that way? I see them at the gun show and online....

I live 5 minutes away from them, best local gun shop I've ever been to. I open carry, they open carry (while at work), no problem OC in there. If anything, you'll get questions about your hardware!:banana: Prices are hard to beat, too!:banana::banana::banana:

In the Kent valley at a few smaller shops and gas stations today.

Walking out of one of the gas stations....

"Oh, open carry..... wow, it's for real"

I responded yes it is and handed a brochure, but I was in a hurry so I didn't get to chat.

Browns Point Diner...

Had breakfast at the Browns Point diner this morning. It was packed and full of locals.... a few bug eyes :shocker: but not one comment.

Good breakfast, good coffee and good conversation...

Starbuck's Lakewood - Ani's gun broke again. We're getting a new one, PERIOD! I swear, I will NEVER buy another gun at Cabela's

Ale House Pub and Eatery 2122 Mildred Street West, University Place (Front area open to kids until 9pm, thus not labeled off limits to minors per WSLCB) - Myself, Ani, Spencer, Mom, and the kids had lunch. NO ISSUES! The waitress and many guests saw our carries and no issues at all. Too bad the Flyers lost to the Rangers of all teams, but the focus is OC atm. This is the first "bar" I've been able to enter carrying and frequent this establishment doing just this.

Home in time for a PC Sheriff to be outside my door talking to a neighbor. She was belittling the cop and he was trying to help her. I walked my son to the basketball court and came back, passing his car. He eyed me, I kept walking as he was busy on a call. No issues mentioned by either as we were both going about our business. He was busy on a call and it was not for me to distract him as I didn't know why he was there. A win for both sides!

OC: The normal local areas I haunt on Canyon Road.

McDonald's Portland Ave / 512 (near 112th) - Gas station attendants always keep an eye on me but nothing is ever said. No issues.

----------- RANT ON -------------------------------

Ani bought her Bersa Thunder .380 Feb 6 2011. We went to the range the following Wednesday and fired 10 rounds through it! It damaged the inside of the barrel near where the round enters the chamber. We took it back. We also (DEROS, Bookman, Goose, and Ani) couldn't get the gun back together. They sent it to the BERSA smith in Colorado.

They sent it back to Cabela's March 2nd but Cabela's couldn't find her gun until March 30th. She got it back STILL damaged. DEROS also couldn't get the gun back together again. mind you, this is a man that owns this SAME EXACT GUN.

I called the gun counter and was told a manager would call me shortly. I called back 4 hours later and asked for the manager. I called on my cell phone. He informed me that I must deal with Colorado as they "repaired it". Now, he says, what can I do for you? I simply said I guess nothing and hung up. He return called my house phone, the one I left for someone to call me on 4 hours ago. So much for customer service

We took it back and they said the damage on the inside of the barrel is "purely cosmetic" and they are done servicing the weapon.

IF after 10 rounds a gun has damage "purely cosmetic" or not on the frapping barrel, I want a new gun! I want it replaced. They refuse and kindly asked Ani to leave. If you ever buy a gun at Cabela's, be warned. They're all about the $$$, not your satisfaction.

This is my opinion and my experience. your experiences may be different. I am displeased and let the assistant manager know about it. I won't return, and a stick tap to TechnoWeenie as he warned me before I ever bought the weapon. Yet, Ani wanted it, so I will find someone competent to fix it for her. I'm open to suggestion. PM away as to not hijack the thread anymore.

Retail...

Goose,

Once you buy a product like a firearm from a retailer your relationship with the retailer ends. You are now in a relationship with Bersa and not Cabela's. You will pay for shipping but I would send it to Bersa and have it repaired. I would also sell it. I owned and carried a Bersa for 10 years. It is not 100% reliable and that concerns me. There are many other guns that would suit Ani well.

Bersa

Like I said Sunday, contact Bersa directly. I bought a Taurus 24/7 from Cabelas, I had some issues (not Cabelas fault) and contacted Taurus directly. They e-mailed me a Fed-ex label and it shipped to and from for free. Granted the thought of having to have it fixed (twice now) is not desirable, but their speed of service has been outstanding. Hopefully this is the last time. I will still do business with Cabelas (if the price is right if you know how to shop them). But for gun service I will always deal with the manufacturer. my $.02

Let's get together Saturday and discuss that. We did discuss his recently but I think the three of us (ani included) may come up with other options as well.

Golddigger, your $.02 is well received!
