Why Sams?

I only ask because I almost went toes with the dude with the pony tail for insulting my wife and making her feel stupid.

It is a 1/4 away from my house also, but I will gladly made the drive to my spots.

EDIT(I just had to add):Also...not to be rude, but it seems others feel the need to answer for the OP when the question was directed at him.....opinions always welcome, but I know I don't like people answering for me...

I don't think I was "answering" for him. Note where I said "I am guessing..."

Sorry to ruffle your feathers.

I've never had a problem with any of the staff at Sam's, what led up to the altercation over your wife?

No worries. I just try to avoid making topics so long and random. It comes from dealing with a lot of "kids" in the online gaming community.

Long story short I was looking to replace a POS Walther P22 with a real gun for my wife. The guy upfront was nice(even though not very gun smart) and so we went to the range to see what ones she rent to try. I personally wanted to give her the best chance at finding something that would fit her. I was talking to her and that guy starting telling me everything he didn't know and what I HAVE AND NEED to do. I asked him a question about an FN five-seven and he barked at me "It's a gun it shoots". I had enough and started away when he looked at my wife who was over by the guns(while I was a little ways away) and starts making fun of how she is dressed and other comments that well....if he wasn't in a gun store.......I do go to Sams sometimes, but I choose not to go in range...

Wow that's messed up. If anyone insulted my girl especially without being provoked i'd have a serious issue with it.

That said. I also live about a half mile from sams gun shop and have only been there a few times, most of the time they range staff is quite rude to customers.

Any idea who it was? Can you describe him? I can't picture anyone up there with a pony tail, and I think we know all of the guys.

Older grumpy looking guy. He had a pony tail as I recall, but that could be wrong. No facial hair, somewhat baulding white hair, and OCed a Kimber (I THINK left side).

Hmm, left side carry of a Kimber and older (in the way you described) I think would be Tom - no pony tail btw. and, this is not to be confused with the Tom that works the shop counter.

I'm not looking to push this into a did/didn't happen discussion, I just wanted to know more about who you were talking about. Thanks for clarifying.

I will say that "the range" Tom is known as "Happy Jack" amongst the crew, and that there's some long history here. I'll leave it at that. There's also a reason that he never works the counter.

You got the bad seed in a very good apple. Tom works Sundays these days... I think you'll have a different experience if you re-visit.

btw, the counter guy you talked to... If you think he could be classified as looking like a "short Santa Clause" then that'd be Bill. Good guy, but he loves any gun in the case that you ask to see.

Yes Bill is decent guy when I do in. He was very respectful to my wife, so in a way he is the only reason I still go there. I usually just pop in to see what they have. Who is the tall kid?

i put 150rnds of 9mm and roughly 250rnds of .22LR downrange. my groups with the .22 are decent but i could really use some help with the 9mm. (im thinking about taking classes)
