totalabuse 27 Posted May 8, 2009 Is it still open or did Mr. personality drive it into the ground? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chad 3 Posted May 8, 2009 haha Mr. Personality. I went there about 10 years ago, and dealt with him...vowed to never go back and never did. WHY on earth would you be so miserable?? Especially when you own a retail store...arent you supposed to be nice to customers? Or is that just a myth?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tony357 386 Posted May 8, 2009 yah, i remember that guy, gave me a hard time when i wanted a box taped up after buying a squirrell 22 for the kids. we were in an astro van and did not want the kids getting into it while i was driving.. that was 15 years ago and never went back for anything else.. as a matter of fact i still have it, my daughter liked shooting shorts out of it.. the boys grew out of it pretty quick. keeping it for grand kids hopefully not too soon.. :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
totalabuse 27 Posted May 8, 2009 Indeed. It's been about that long for me as well. I used to go there all the time when the other folks owned it. I bought my first rifle (HK91) there in 88. They also helped me get rid of my contraband when Florio screwed us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scottcba1 8 Posted May 8, 2009 Shops all closed up and has been for a couple years now. You guys are all right about the last owner....what a winner that guy was. I would ride my bicycle up their when I was a kid to get warms for fishing and he would give us crap about where we "parked" our bikes. He wanted us to "park" them in a spot and on kick stands!!! :shock: What a weirdo...no wonder the place closed up. -Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
totalabuse 27 Posted May 8, 2009 Thanks for the info Scott. The things I saw that man do and not do for customers is amazing. His wife wasn't much better. Though easy on the eyes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scottcba1 8 Posted May 8, 2009 no problem...anytime. -Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbtrout 141 Posted May 8, 2009 He only cared about you if you were a cop. We talked for an hour once until he found out I was a civillian. Then I was nothing. His wife was always pleasant though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tony357 386 Posted May 8, 2009 thats right, my brother told me he was a cop and that explained everything.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mauser88 0 Posted May 8, 2009 The old owner Neil was a great guy. The last guy was a complete waste of oxygen. I did buy a P-38 from him once. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scottcba1 8 Posted May 9, 2009 thats right, my brother told me he was a cop and that explained everything.. He wasnt a cop he was ex-military....I went to school with his step daughter...if you thought the mother was easy on the eyes you should have seen her! 8-) He was a tool plain and simple. Most likely why he isnt around anymore. -Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbtrout 141 Posted May 9, 2009 I could have sworn he was a Jackson cop. Oh well, he must have been Navy to have such an inferiority chip on his shoulder. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMWR12 35 Posted May 9, 2009 Yeah he was a nosy and typical 1920's style shop keeper. I brought one thing there, out of desperation and that was the first and last time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scottcba1 8 Posted May 10, 2009 I could have sworn he was a Jackson cop. Oh well, he must have been Navy to have such an inferiority chip on his shoulder. LOL!!!
