So they want to waste another half hour of my time for nothing.
Why do I have to wait while they enter stuff into a computer? Can't they do that later?
I tell them "why are you doing a background check, I have a CPL"? their answer is store policy, again unneeded bureaucracy wasting my time.
There are 4 other people standing around doing nothing, why can't they do several things at a time to save time?
Long story short, I walked out without buying the gun, left it, 3 extra mags... on the counter.
Needless to say, they lost a customer. It is their right to add unneeded bureaucracy to a firearms transaction, it is my choice to go elsewhere.
I also was amazed to see that even if you are a member, you still have to pay $3 per visit to shoot a rifle or shotgun, no other range I have been a member at up charges for rifles.
When I moved into the state 8 years ago I went there and their poor customer service made me go elsewhere, I gave therm a second chance and at least I can say, they were consistent.
