i love these stories. i live in a town that is plenty big enough to have a decent gun store, but we don't have one. we have 4 and they are all ****. nice guns like that never show up. just bottom of the barrel junk, and if something kinda nice is there, then it's way way too high. as a result, i do all my business online, but it sure takes away from the experience. there isn't much of a magical or memorable experience and i absolutely hate that. you are very lucky.
