I went to Galayans last night with my father. He was talking about the "boxy" look of some guns so I thought I'd show him the Sig 220 and the Walther P99 to see how he liked him. (He left his Class B permit at home). First we picked up some gun oil and Flitz that I needed. The sales guy from the gun department jumped out and said "Can I help you sir?" to my father. Looked at me but but ignored me just the same. The I went to handle the guns and put my permit on the desk. I asked to see the Walther and the Sig and he said without eye contact "One at a time...." Took his sweet time handling the permit, looking at it and then slowly gave me the gun. All had gun locks on them so I couldn't try the trigger out or get a real sense of the weight of the gun. Stupid...
I've been here twice before and each time I tried the gun counter, I was completely ignored in favor of the men customers. I get the cold shoulder like I'm lost and asking for another department or they treat me like a little lady looking to step up to the big boys game. If I need something, they act I'm bothering them or pulling them away from someone more important. Obviously, I'll never buy any firearms there; the guns are way over priced and the selection is lousy. It shouldn't come as a surprise why I prefer the Four Seasons gun shop or another local store to this. Any other women here get treated this way?
