I'm trying to figure something out...
Why do people often bring crowds with them to a gun store?
I went to Hoffman's today to (possibly) pick up one of their Mini-14 promos and found myself in a very crowded store. After a bit, I started paying attention to the groups and realized that I was one of the only people in the store who was there alone.
Many people were there with a spouse or single friend, but there were also groups of 4+ people. Those groups were taking a lot of attention from the staff, despite not seeming to be serious about buying things.
The situation was sort of odd, but I realized that it's a frequent occurrence there. I'm not shy seeking out a salesperson when I need it, so it didn't really impact my ability to purchase, however it was disruptive.
Also overheard some great quotes. My favorite coming form a young guy at the rental counter, surrounded by four or so friends, who asked to rent 'the best gun they had'. I wonder what the clerk selected.
