Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Second that when I went in there they tried to force a few guns down my throat and "educate" me on how I didn't know as much as they did. Went in once, won't go back.Originally Posted by HoneyBadger
Was a CVS that never opened ... but yeah, that's Specialty.
Awesome place to browse and fondle ... so-so place to buy (good folk, but you can usually find better prices online ... but that's pretty common for a LGS).
Its big enough though that its not a "stand around sipping free coffee and BSing with the clerks" kinda gun shop.

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
In my experiences there, they literally don't want you fondling guns unless you plan on buying from them. 3 different times I've taken a friend or my wife in there to "try out" the feel of different guns and each time a different employee basically told us not to waste their time if we weren't going to hurry up and buy something.

They have a large inventory so if you want to handle a specific gun there's a good chance they'll have it so you can put your hands on one to decide if you want it ... then buy it online.
(EDIT: was instaposted by HoneyBadger)
They may have figured out that is what we use them for, but in the past I've taken people down there looking for a specific gun and we got to handle several and they were polite about it (although the clerk swept us with the muzzle ... which annoys me but happens at most shops).
But I haven't been in there in a couple years so I can't speak to what they're like today.

I'm sorry, when I'm not being a HoneyBadger, my other persona is a forum ninja!

Me Personally, I have never had a problem there. They are helpful to me, always let me handle anything, even as far as making me put my mitts on a piece!
The older guys a great to BS with but then again, I'm just loveable, personable sorta guy. Sunshine and butter cups!
I enjoy going in.

Went there today. Nice selection. Only handled one pistol, so they didn't seem to be too annoyed with me. Bought a book and a few supplies while I was there.
Cool place to go, but almost a two hour drive.
