I told him I would get all that trash out of his way and while smiling put all the brass in my bag. He looked at me like I was insane. One of them commented on how "they done been shot off man". I just reiterated that I wanted ot make sure they enjoyed their time at Don's and somebody should be in there picking up their "trash". Honestly, I don't think they know you can reload this stuff! I got home and had over 100 40's and over 100 9's. They walked out looking at me like I was absolutely NUTS.

The time I did go in and use the range, they used to have a poster taped to the counter (as in, it was part of the counter top?) that showed a destroyed, cheap looking revolver. It had a message along the lines of dont handload/reload or this will happen. I asked the guy checking me out if they (the folks who worked there) actually believed that. He looked at me as if I had bugs coming in and out of my mouth. He said it was a reckless practice and "if he caught anyone with reloaded ammo in there..." puffing up. I told him that I had JUST used my handloads in there and held up my hand, saying it was fine, not missing any fingers. He was VERY intent on getting me to "reverse my ways". I just left, vowing to kill myself before I ever step in that joint again.

After seeing their ammo pricing, I determined that they put that there to discourage dumbasses that shoot there from saving money.

Incidentally, Don's website states that while pricing is lower elsewhere, he "has it actually in stock". Weird. Well, if I was intent on getting beat up "good" guns or cheaply made but overpriced guns, I'll make sure he is the first I go to. Firemission: You will win 100 DH-Fun Bucks (not redeemable anywhere! ) if you go into Don's with a Gander Mountain flyer with guns in it, ask them if they do price matching. Cmon guys, 100 DH-fun bucks! Cant miss out on that! 25 more points if you ask why when they say no! (if they say no)
