Looks like a Bass Pro Shops is coming to Atlantic City... I've never been to one before, good stuff?

Nice, there was an announcement that one is planned to be built in Sayreville in 2013 or there abouts. Not holding my breath, but it would be nice to have one in my area.

 

If you have never been in one before, just think of it as the sportsman's version of a kid in a candy store.

similar to a Cabelas

Expect horrid prices.

Watch - they won't carry ammo...

I was wondering if it would be a neutered store given the location...

Most likely - it's going to be put in at "The Walk" - in between the Sheraton and Bally's....... Not a lot of room there IIRC.

The spot where they want to put it is roughly 4 acres... On Atlantic Ave between Missouri and Mississippi; right at the base of the expressway. You pretty much have to drive right past it as you come into the city. It's a great spot, but I was just wondering what the people would say about adding a store in AC that sells those horrible guns and ammunition... [/sarcasm]

Oh then it's outside of the walk area..

Been to one BPS. Didn't like it compared to Cabela's.

I was happy when Cabelas didn't open in Rutherford. This way when I order online, I don't have to pay tax. lol

 

Isn't this supposed to change anyway? or is it just Amazon that will begin charging tax?

Was at a Bass Pro in Maryland recently and i ve been to their Georgia location as well.

Higher prices than Cabelas on ammo and the guns were at Cabelas prices.

Went to a bps in Massachusetts by the patriots stadium. I liked it. They had a decent sale for winter gear bought a lot of gloves socks and crap like that. I liked it. Never been to a cabelas to compare. But 10000000x better then dicks

Im knda partial to Gander Mountain. It is sort of like the wall mart version of cabellas and bass pro shop. They have most everything you need without all the flash and dazzle. If they build any of these stores in new jersey it would most likely be severely neutered.

Been to the one in Las Vegas, similar to Cabela's but not as big as the one in Hamburg, PA.

 

The Vegas store is on the outskirts of town and half casino - like everything else in Vegas.

Visited a Bass Pro Shops in Vegas and Orlando. Great places to go and browse, but in both, firearms and firearms related stuff was at retail prices plus. Although I was able to find a 45 ACP LNL shellplate in stock.

Amazon will start charging tax because they'll have opened a distribution center in NJ. They would hold true with any retailer opening a DC in NJ.

Watch - they won't carry ammo...

Even if they did I wouldn't buy ammo or guns in AC. The local thugs would hang out and watch the people coming in and out; come out with a gun or ammo your going to get mugged on the way to the car.

It's funny you mention that. I recall reading something several months ago that AC got their 1st supermarket in some number of decades. I never followed-up to find out how well that's going, but for a town that was fearful of a supermarket for all those years, who now is considering a sporting-goods type store, just doesn't make sense to me.

Last I heard the grocery store has an armed guard. It is still open.
