Indication of coming shortage?

Unless they are giving stuff away, Sportsman's Warehouse has lost me as a customer forever.

About a year ago, I was ordering a Ruger Wrangler online from Sportsmans Warehouse. I had the gun and some boots in my cart and when I went to check out, I was greeted with a popup that said I could save 15% on my order by opening an SW card. It worked out to about $45 so I clicked the link.

My credit score is golden. Between my Discover and my Mastercard, I could buy a small house. However, I was declined. I called customer service and was told there was nothing that I could do. I called the bank and was told that the discount would only apply if I was approved at the time of purchase.

I emailed customer service and was told that they'd call me but they never did.

When I went to pick up my stuff, I told the store manager what had happened and he said, "Oh, that's par for the course."

About a month later I got a letter telling me that they needed more info to approve my application. A day late and a dollar short.

Now about once a month I get a "pre-approved" offer from Sportsman's Warehouse for their credit card.

FYI that discount doesn’t apply to firearms.

I would hope that the members here now "get the fact" that if you are going to be in this hobby and CCW/EDC for a time, you had better procure what you need for carry, practice and recreational uses. In general, the prices and availability will only get worse. The anti gun movement has gotten extremely aggressive and they have figured out that guns don't go bang without ammo. Cars don't run without gasoline.
