i find so much better pricing through mail order that unless i need something small, i dont bother looking.

[btroj]

I look but don't generally buy. How can a guy not look when in a shop?

[Alvarez Kelly]

I look. Sometimes I buy.

[WILCO]

I look. Sometimes I buy.

Same here. I don't go out of my way though.

If I happen to be in a store i'll look and sometimes buy if its a decent deal and I can get it home without mailing it,most of the time though the last 2 years I haven't seen anything in a store that I wanted and almost always have to go online to get supplies. I have always liked supporting the so called brick and mortar stores but if they don't have anything they don't have anything.

I do look sometimes but my problem is. I only live about 3 miles from Arms & Ammo if any of you are familiar with them. Since they've never hiked their prices up their always low on inventory. But since I'm close I'll stop in and if they have something I use I'll buy it. I haven't had to buy much since the first Obama election, just been running on what I had. If / when we get a republican in office again I'll have to stock up. Woody

I am out of town whenever I buy or for that matter look for supplies. There are no LGS's in our town.

[LUBEDUDE]

If it all possible I always check out shops when out of town.

If the price is right, I buy!

[starmac]

Out of town here, pretty much means nowhere to look. lol

[bearcove]

I look and buy when in my other home town. If nobody buys the stuff and then I go back and really need something it won't be there. Have seen too many shops go under. Window shoppers don't pay any bills.

Always if I get the chance.

[Ed Barrett]

I always like to stop into LGS's when out of town. Every once in a while you find something that really makes your day.

I like to peruse little gun shops in small towns. I have found some little gems doing this. Sometimes it is just interesting to see if the dealer knows his stuff.

Back in the days that I traveled for work I always looked for gun shops and in the old days I really found some good ones. And good buys. By the time I came in off the road 98% of them had closed and the other 2% scaled back. Most of them closed because the owners just got aged and retired. Square Shooters in Bettendorf was my favorite, urban renewal for the gambling boat took their old building. I have been retired for 3 1/2 years now and Scheels in Davenport or Fin & Feather in Ia City is it for me. No good Mom & Pop places left. I'm just glad I got to rummage around in some of them while they were there.

[Blacksmith]

I always visit gun shops just to see what they got. Any of the independent shops I always try to buy something (I consider it the price of admission). Doesn't have to be something big but help them keep the doors open, used to be a box or two of .22's; now may be a tin of percussion caps or coil of cannon fuse, might be a pound of powder or brick of primers. They were kind enough to let me look and maybe answer a few questions about the area, support them so they can do the same for other shooters.

You always gotta look....never know when you might luck up on a deal.
