jkelly, had I been there with my credit line and the Kimbers were on the shelf, there WOULD be at least two in my house right now.
When Cabella's was thinking about coming to Plainville, I wrote to them and asked if they were aware of our anti-gun laws in this state, and if they were going to work with us and GOAL to try and fight the politics with their deep pockets.
Cabella's reply to me was...we know our business and are not worried. They continued by telling me they had NO PLANS for a shop in Plainville, but in Connecticut instead.
I think it would be great for Bass Pro and Cabella's and Bob Kraft to put their money and brains together and help us fight the AG in court.
BTW, when I heard BPS was opening in Foxboro, I had already determined that I would continue to buy from the local small shops, because I think WE are responsible to keep them in business and available to us. It's a two way street. We need each other.
I do not plan to boycott the dealer involved in this. I go to many shops from time to time, and will continue to do so.
When I have something bugging me about a dealer or store or salesman, I speak up and TELL management what I think, and if they don't respond to my liking, I stay away until I forget how mad I was with them. If it continues, I stop going.
Anyone talking about boycotting this dealer is biting their nose to spite their face. Maybe you all would have liked for BPS to sell these guns for a few more hours before they got caught, but it doesn't seem like such a bad deal to me.
I for one don't want a Kimber because someone makes a mistake. I want one I can have with full knowledge and approval of my government.
Yes, the AG rules suck. Let's change the rules and not feed on each other.
