My purchases from Academy in the distant past were pretty easy and straightforward. Earlier this year, I bought two rifles (at different times) and the process seemed to be deliberately drawn out.
The first rifle, the young guy took forever filling out the store's own paperwork and seemed shocked that I knew how to fill out the 4473 myself without his expert guidance.
The second rifle, an older fellow tried to be as condescending as possible and also took an inordinate amount of time filling out, once again, the store's paperwork. He even made a comment that I was risking federal prosecution for signing the 4473 form before he had looked it over.
After the second time, I don't shop the gun counter at Academy anymore.
BTW, this was at the NW Expway store in OKC. Hopefully, other stores are different.
