How To Purchase A Gun w/ Dan Kidder

Dan Kidder from Sportsman's Warehouse walks you step by step through the things you need to know to purchase a firearm.

You forgot to add that you have to wait 30 to 90 mins for the employees to stop taking with each other to want to help you.

[@HeroShotz]

Add another 15 minutes because the salesman has to tell you crazy conspiracies they saw on Twitter also.

I tried buying a Christensen Arms Ridgeline Titanium rifle with a Mark V 4-20x52 from Sportsman… the employee refused to let me see the Christensen rifle and continued to show me low-mid quality rifles and told me Leupolds claim that the CDS are false and the scopes don’t actually work… tried spending over 4k that day left with nothing. Called a friend with FFL ordered scope and rifle from him

I’ve been told by people that use to work there. That they are told to move/push certain brands if you are looking for a 9mm in anything other than a Glock, they will push a Glock on you. If you’re looking for a rife they will punch a howa or a teika. The employees get kick backs/points from the companies they push their brands. I’ve heard a sales gentleman tell a new gun buyer that a 9mm shot out of a Glock 19 or 17 hits with the same force as a .357 mag.

I think we went to same store. Hahahaha

I've never had problems. Though it could vary by location.

What is Sportsman’s Warehouse doing to help fight against the increasing gun control measures that are being passed and infringe on your customer’s 2A protected rights? If not, I encourage you to support your customers by doing so.

Had ordered a handgun to be shipped to an FFL. Been 13 days and shipment is still pending. Customer service said the FFL didn't send the release paper to them and give it 2 days and it's still not shipped. The FFL said they will send it again. Sportsmans warehouse still didn't ship my gun. At this point they playing around with my $600 and not even taking there shipping policy seriously.

[@Mushroom.Madness.]

So 3 months later, what ended up happening? Did they ever get the release papers?

[@kidlo2050]

@robertfink5368 1 week after, i called customer service and went to the FFL twice. The FFL still haven't sent the papers, so I had to call sportsmans warehouse twice to try to cancel. The same day it was canceled. Academy finally had the gun in stock. So I went there.

[@upnorthvlogs]

Operation fast and furious has entered the chat*

[@PeterParker-ff7ub]

the same way you buy anything.

[@libturdcrusher1776]

As long as the sheriffs in your state refuse to enforce unconstitutional gun laws the feds can not do anything. The sheriff would need to put the feds on notice.

[@deanreynolds6508]

Buy a gun at Sportmans?? Are you kidding? Are the gun counters any good at any of these stores? The one at the Silverdale Washington store is a steaming pile of ineptitude.

It's getting worse
