There was a guy behind the counter busy showing a man and his some a pair of binoculars. As I stood there, a few other people meandered up to the counter. He finished with the man and his son and came over to me right away. I smiled at him and told him I wanted to buy a gun. (I had just spent the entire day in the woods at a primitive skills class and was filthy, had tangled hair, and smelled like burning wood from the fire.) He blinked a couple of times, sized me up, and asked me what I was interested in. He started me on the paperwork and took care of his other customers. I was in and out of the store in about 20 minutes.<br /><br />And at the gun show where almost no one gave me the time of day, the person from whom I bought my gun was lovely. In the middle of all the craziness around his table, he unleashed the guns I wanted to see and spoke with me about what I wanted and what I liked. He didn't try to convince me I wanted something else, answered my questions as if he had all the time in the world (and answered others' questions in the same manner), and when I was ready to pull out the cash he made sure I was taken care of promptly. Next time I go gun shopping, I'll check his table.Katherine Pagenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775135926082486450.post-44932043589051587442012-02-25T08:15:11.862-06:002012-02-25T08:15:11.862-06:00 I like the M2D Camo, I need a set too!
