Heads up about Academy BS

[DavidMcmillan]

In the past four years (I think), I have purchased three handguns from Academy (OKC and Norman) and never had a bit of inconvenience. If their policy is that the employee has to carry the firearm to the door, that's fine, someone carried it into the store to begin with, and someone else carried it from the storeroom to the display area, and it didn't infringe on my rights one bit. Just employees doing their jobs.

...someone carried it into the store to begin with...

That would be the UPS driver.

pretty sure everyone is just going to Atwood's instead of Academy now.

Just because they have been assigned to work the gun counter, doesn't mean they are a gun person.

A customer goes to box stores to get the lowest possible price. To get knowledge, advice, instruction and possible alternatives; LGS is a better choice. Of course, that may also come with a higher price.

I have had knowledgeable workers at Academy, Atwood, even Wally Wawa; but they are the exception, not the rule.

Is this any different than going to Wally Wawa or the mechanic shop that has been in town for 25 years and is always busy?
Cheap oil change, engine rebuild, no idea what is needed?

Make your choice and live with results.

Which Academy was this? I'd try to find out for sure if it was local decision or corporate. Maybe a letter to the head cheese?

Yeah, lately several newcomers have been reviving years-old threads

Getting enough posts to qualify for classifieds?

Getting enough posts to qualify for classifieds?

Gotta be.

I would think it would be easier just to participate in current discussions than to dig up chit from years ago.
