Don's, the store for people who know nothing about firearms.

Just for fun, because I'm an agitator, I went into Don's Guns today and pretended to know nothing about guns. (Which wasn't too hard for me.) I walked in and was greeted right away by a hispanic man with a scraggly goatee. He asked if he could help me and I said, "Ya I want to buy a gun."
"What kind of gun?"
"Uhh, I don't know, a gun."
"Well this is pretty nice gun." He put a Hi point 9mm in my hand. (Only $259.00) I hold it a few seconds and asked him if he had anything smaller. He took me over to another counter and shows me a Kel-tec 32 for $399.00
Still playing stupid I said, " That's cool, what size bullets does it shoot?"
"Shoots 32s."
"Oh" Blank stare on my face. "I need something with a lot of stopping power. Will this do?"
"Oh ya, man." Racks slide like Barny Fife. "This has got plenty of power."
I looked over at P3AT and asked, "Is that the same one? What is it? A 31." To his credit he didn't snicker as he corrected me. "No that's a 32 this is a 380."
"oh ya, does that have more stopping power?"
"Ya, but the bullets are more expensive."
"Ya, I'm going to need some of those, how much are they for these guns?"
" $20 dollars for the 32s and $50 dollars for the 380s."
" Huh, how many come in a box?"
"50."
"Really?" (What else can you say?)
His response, I can't make this up, "ya man, hope you don't have to kill a lot of people."
I couldn't take it anymore, I excused my self saying I got paid tomorrow and left.
While I was there I also saw an AK on the wall for $1700. and a used one for $1200.
Other prices I noticed. Taurus PT111 for $649.00, Ruger LCP for $629, and a Kel-tec pf9 for $450.
I wish I would have thought to mention how concerned I was that I get a gun before Obama banned them.... (Just to hear the response.)
Also, I left my INGO hat in the car, because I didn't want to them to know that I wasn't that Naive.

Classic. Too bad you couldn't have a friend videotape the verbal exchange and upload it to YouTube. That would have been a hoot to watch.

You do realize you were living dangerously just walking through Don's door, don't you?

Yep, but sometimes you have to get the chuckles while you can.

Oh ya, I forgot to add to my post that the guy offered my 10% off anything in the store. "Today only." I had several wise cracks to that, but I kept them to myself.

I was in there about a month ago, and he had a Hi-point 9mm for sale. It was used, and looked like someone had it for a door stop. Wanted 300 for it!!!! I even asked them if the price was right, the lady behind the counter just said, "yup." I then turned around and left.

So there i was, No ****.
about two months ago driving north on I65 in Indy and i get passed ON THE RIGHT!! (i hate when people do that) by a Mercades with a vanity plate "DON GUN". he must have been doing at least 90 because i'll admit i was hot-footing it a bit myself. I'm not saying this was Don but it wouldn't suprise me in the least, if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck. it's a duck. i have never met this guy but he sounds like a jerk.

I was reading this and just kept hearing about his commercials. So I went to the trusty google search engine and Typed in Don's Guns Commercials and this is where is sent me...

Don's Gun Commercial - Video

...note the caption is this is a creepy commercial. Further down on the comments someone makes the remark "The guy is freaking awesome. He's done more for second amendment rights than the whole NRA. One of his stores in Greenwood IN(it had an indoor range) got robbed, and the clerk was killed. What did Don do? He donated the property to the local police dept so they could practice shooting and learn how to use their guns. It is sort of sad, because now there is no place to legally shoot on the south side, but its not that far to drive to one of his other locations."
