I am fortunate... there are a couple pretty good LGS's in my hometown.
One is larger, sells more and buys more I think, and generally has prices just a little higher than the other. Their customer service isn't as good. At times you might have to stand at the counter and wait for someone to come and help you out. They're not exactly unfriendly or unfair, but they're not exactly always right on top of it when it comes to selling you a gun or some ammo either. Still, they guarantee used guns for 30 days and have a large selection of used guns to buy and new guns to slobber over. I stop in a lot and buy sometimes.
The other is an Army-Navy store with a gun department. The owner can be a difficult at times but the manager of the gun department is a personal friend and a very good guy. He takes people to the range on his lunch break to familiarize them with guns at times. Another employee there is a very experienced shooter and retired PA State Trooper - he also knows his stuff. Other part time employees come and go but as long as they have the help of the more experienced guys to fall back on for help, they're largely OK. Their prices are generally a little lower than the big store "down the street" and the service is a little better, but the selection isn't as vast. I buy there when I can and stop there as often as possible to BS about guns, the opposite sex, politics, and to sling rude jokes at the employees (who sling rude jokes back at me).
There's a small overpriced place on the outside edge of town. I stop there from time to time and have gotten some ammo there but never any guns. I'm just not impressed with them. They don't bring anything to the table that I can't get from the other places. They'd have to have something I really couldn't live without for me to buy there.
There's another tiny hole-in-the-wall place about twenty miles away that's the best for transfers I've found. I like the place just because the owner gets in "different" guns from time to time... like Uberti Colt Conversions or a Spencer replica. Gun prices are OK, ammo prices are generally too high, and the owner's daughter is freakin' hot!
Based on this info... can you guess where I'm from?
