Bass Pro buys Sportsman's Warehouse

There is always...Dick's.....right?

Fun BPS story: Back in October the wife and I took a week+ trip to the west, camping in our trailer. We passed through Utah and Arizona, stayed at a place called Willow Beach on the Colorado River South of the Hoover dam (gorgeous area!) and then went and spent almost a week at an "RV Resort" in Pahrump, NV.

Usually when we go someplace I like to have an actual paper map or atlas in case I want to do a little mild off-roading in my truck. I have the Benchmark Atlases of most of the states we were going to be in, but I didn't have on for Nevada.

So on our way to Pahrump, we were passing through Las Vegas and I said "let's stop at Bass Pro and get an atlas."

Went up to the hunting department and asked the kid (probably 20) where I would find an atlas of Nevada.

Kid: "A what?"

Me: "An atlas. It's like a book with maps in it."

Kid: "Maps? So like a GPS?"

Me: "No, a BOOK. Made of PAPER. With maps in it."

Kid gets a confused look on his face

"I don't think we sell those."

:rolleyes:

So we went downstairs where sure enough, right there near the optics there was a little rotating carousel with the benchmark atlas of Nevada on it.

Well [pileoshit]

I had a trip to Bass Pro gun counter years ago.

I asked the man behind the counter if he had any Walther PPQ subcompacts. He said "no, but we can order". Then he asked me why I wanted a subcompact. I told him I wanted it for a CCW. Then he told me that they wouldn't sell it to me then, because concealed guns are for police only.

Seriously.

So, that was my last trip there.

I have never had a negative experience with the guys at the gun counter in COS, and the rest of the store seems to employs cute gals.

That ass clown should quit the job at bass pro and work for Brady Campaign.

Many moons ago I went into a Bass Pro looking for some fishing lures in October and was told by fishing wizard behind the counter that fishing season was over in Colorado !!!!

go to bass pro, don't go--it's your choice. however, not going anywhere because you encountered a dumb employee (in this case, Elmer Fudd) is silly--especially when they clearly sell plenty of compact guns
