    What kind of deal set him off like this? I've yet to be that impressed with a price from Buds. CDNN has impressed me from time to time but never Impact or Buds. What was this deal that made Granpa flip his walker? If his wholesale cost is higher than a Buds street price, perhaps he should stop buying firearms from Joey Soprano in a panel truck behind the store.

    He might be. Then just jacking the prices up, then whine about how he can't compete, so we feel sorry for the "little" guy.

    Anybody know if "Grampa" gets more business from the hunter types or the military/C&R types?

    What a dumbass. Dealers like this NEED to go out of business. If dealer price is $425 delivered, these kinds of guys will charge $575 + tax. They are the ones fucking up the gun industry. I'm sorry, but I run a company too and I know what overhead is. Grandpa needs to retire.

    I once canceled my Taco Bell order because they charged 10 cents over the posted price and I love Taco Bell.

    Just profiling here but I am guessing by the name "Gun and Pawn" he makes a large amount of his revenue from bilking those down on there luck (Longmont and all) and then trying to charge retail for used property. As far as Firearms he is probably counting on Charging MSRP and not considering that this IS the 21st century with a full on internet wholesalers willing do volume sales at lower prices and make profits that way.





    Or maybe he just watches too much Pawnstars :P

    Yeah well, I am going to venture there are very distinct reasons they didn't choose Grandpas Gun and Pawn in Longmont for a location.

    Just sayin.

    Probably because they didn't have anyone that could compete with Chumlee
