Thanks for the feedback guys. Like I said, I was reluctant to write such a negative review but felt something had to be said about how that Paramus location is run. I will definitely look to go to the other shops that were recommended in this thread!

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to firearms in general and just trying to be a sponge and absorb as much knowledge as possible. I just wanted to share my first experience of going into shop that sells guns. I had some time to kill around lunch time in the Paramus area. I decided to go explore and window shop at Ramsey Outdoors on route 17 in Paramus. First of all, the store was mostly empty except for a few looking at coats and fishing gear as I made my way to the back. I must have passed at least 3 employees by the time I got to the gun safes and all of them avoided eye contact let alone a friendly hello. There were 2 older gentlemen behind the counter having a conversation about m4 carbines. I saw that the walls were fairly scarce and only about a dozen hanguns in the showcase to look at. A little about myself, I'm a 29 year old clean cut Hispanic guy and I was dressed business casual. I went right up to the counter and was just looking down at the handguns. Not once did either guy care to say hello let alone offer any type of assistance. I had a question about the Remmington 1911 they had and when I looked up, one of them looked at me as if he couldn't be bothered nor cared less of what I had to say or what intentions I had in the store. After a long awkward pause of me clearly looking like I need assistance, they both blew me away by just getting off their stools and walking together to the back while continuing their prior conversation. I usually never complain about this sort of thing but I was speechless by the way I was treated or better yet not treated. I will say that I will never bring my business to them unless some major staff overall occurs as I only hear and have read horror stories about there.

Thank you, I did apply for a handgun permit as well. I have some friends that are avid gun collectors trying to sway me all over the place. The one that sticks out in my mind is a Magnum Research Baby Eagle II 40 cal. I'm not dead set on anything and am very open to any suggestions. I will join the NRA.

I'm very new to the gun community as I just applied for my firearms ID although I've been interested in firearms for quite some time now. I found this forum by searching for ranges and groups in my area. I hope to learn everything I need to know and hopefully one day contribute my opinion and experiences as well! Regards, Yuri
