Gander Mtn. castleton

[iam1096]

I went to Gander today to look around. Some of the employees are dicks. I wanted to look at a gun and they just looked at me as they talked. I have bought a lot of guns from them ( used ). Most of the guys are rude and dumb *sses. I don't understand why people buy new guns from them. Then they watched as some gang bangers pointed firearms at the people in the store. I left after telling one of the bangers if he pointed another gun at my son or me, that I will treat it as a threat. They looked at me and I said I don't know if it is loaded but I know mine is. Then the bigger one of the group said " sorry ". What pissed me off that the employee's watched but never said anything. As I walked out I looked back to see one of the bangers pointing a double barrel shotgun at his friends head.

I would talk to management. If that does not help.
Call the main office.

Are you sure you weren't at Don's Guns. Sounds like the same BS Gang Bangers.

Castleton is not the only Gander Mtn that way, a few before Christmas I walked out of the Greenwood store. Went in with the money to buy the wife a new carry (PINK) Taurus 9mm the idiot behind the counter was more worried about his hair then the customers. After getting into my truck I sat in the parking lot and called the store and talked to the manager about this, he apologized but did not seem to be to concerned over this. They do have one guy at Greenwood that does seem to have it together and he can be found in a wheel chair, the guy really seems to be into working with the customer. The rest of those wanna-bes would be either unemployed or cleaning the bathroom if I were management.

My wallet will not allow me to go to Gander. Usually anything I want I pick up can wait until the next gunshow where it is 20-30% cheaper. or I will order it through my folks gun shop. Not to often do I buy new.
I stopped in at Gander one time to pick up a box of 44 mag ammo for a new Desert Eagle I bought. 50 rounds were $40!!! The hell with that place. Not to mention they treat you like . I have never had a good experiance there.

Not to single you out or to be disrespectful but why would anyone buy a gun at GM, they all seem to be over priced and have you seen the prices on accesories?

I did pick up a nice P1 package there for $250 there but I haven't seen anything else I would buy and I drop by once in awhile when I am up that way just for something to do. The ammo prices are really high.

I shop there regularly, I'll frequent the Castleton store and I've been to the Greenwood location a few times. Every gun shop has the wanna-be gangster kids in there at one point or another, but if they're pointing firearms at anyone, management needs to do something there. That would piss me off in a big way. I don't buy ammo there, (huge $$$) buy it from Walmart or order online. I have bought numerous firearms there and the portion of the firearms counter staff I've met and know have been very knowledgeable and attentive.

I'll shop at Gander Mountain even with prices higher than elsewhere because a store which actively supports right to carry--and has a sign at the entrance saying that carry is okay--deserves my support.
