This thread is a great illustration of what a blight on mankind politics and politicians are. It can put you at odds with even your friends.
My advice: If you think GM's products and customer service are a good deal for you, buy from them. If you think they're not, don't.
In a free market your vote counts every time, you are never forced to pay for other people's stuff, and if you disagree with the majority nobody's going to lock you up in a cage.

Oh I've been boycotting them for years. I bought , my Freedom arms there. Came back a few months later bought a Marlin 45-70. Came in to pick -up and they said the can't find the box so you have to buy a rifle case to take it home or drive home and get one of yours. I told them that was ridiculous and to give me what ever box they had. The rifle would be locked in my trunk hence being legal to transport. The guy claiming to be the gun counter mgr. went off about people from Illinois driving to Wilmont Wi disrespecting the laws etc.

I got a hold of the store manager and had the rifle sale refunded on the spot. That might be 10 years now. I wouldn't go in a Gander Mtn for a free gun now.

BTW - Prior to that I may have also spent $500 + on hunting gear & archery supply.

GM should be boycotted for bowing to the liberal pressure. These communists attack places like GM because they know they will win. We're all being led by the nose by a micro-majority because the mentality of most people is that the problem will go away if you just give in.

You obviously were pleased enough with your first purchase to buy another firearm from them.

Prior to that I may have also spent $500 + on hunting gear & archery supply.

Sounds like you were happy with those purchases too.

I got a hold of the store manager and had the rifle sale refunded on the spot.

And of course the seller complied with your wishes promptly when you chose not to complete the transaction (try that with a government agency and see how it turns out).

The guy claiming to be the gun counter mgr. went off about people from Illinois driving to Wilmont Wi disrespecting the laws etc.

Ah, now we get to the heart of the problem: laws inflicted by politicians. IMHO your quarrel is with them, not Gander Mountain.
