"Average" gun shop employees can vary quite a bit, depending where you are. I've heard a lot of unmitigated B-S from behind gun counters, and I've heard good, solid counsel regarding guns and reloading, too. It's not like you can tell much about the employees from the appearance of the storefront.

The term "gun shop commando" has been around for a long time, and isn't about to leave our lexicon anytime soon.

I'm with Alk8944, disclaimers are one thing, but don't read too much into them.
