Are there any other big chain stores like Cabelas, Bass Pro, and Gander Mountain that sell hand guns? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Big Chain Stores

go to your local gun shop and support them.
I support whoever has fair prices or something I really want. I've definitely seen some price gouging at the smaller stores. I am a bargain shopper personally.
I'll support the local store as long as they're not gouging prices. Besides, other than the Mossberg 500 I got last week at Dick's and my Beretta AL391 (which I got wholesale, not from a chain), the chain stores don't carry what I want.
I always buy from local shops regardless of price. I was looking for research purposes (work related).
I think everyone should spend $30 in gas driving someplace in order to avoid spending $25 more for a gun at a local store. It only makes sense![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")

They come out of different budgets....kinda like the gov't spends...

Especially when it's to buy from a place that doesn't care about your or your sport, as opposed to a local shop that supports both.
Always prefer to use local gun stores.....If only for the service and conversation.
Don't know about all that. Got a shop up thisa way I'd rather drive by to shop at a slightly more expensive, but definately more personable, shop.
Cabela's here in CT sells handguns..not sure how many of them you can actually buy new (transfer to mass ffl) though if you are a mass resident...
Does it matter if the people working there do??? And it would also depend on what your sport might be...be careful of blanket comments.
While your sport might be IDPA, someone elses might be Skeet..or Hunting.

Well, if you consider Bass Pro a big box store... They do a lot for the shooting sports. And not only here in MA.
Not only do they do the Mass Wildlife Hunter Safety class....They let us use the class room to teach the Basic Pistol course free of charge. They also take all our registrations, promote the class for us, and print up the fliers that we hand out.
They have been major sponsors to several charity shooting events.
They have donated equipment to several hunting, trap, and other shooting events.
They launched a Hunting and Shooting Sports Heritage Trust program many years ago.
They sponsored several of the US Olympic Shooters. One being Haley Dunn, 2008 bronze medal winner in International Skeet Shooting.
They work with the NSSF and sponsor several "Project Childsafe" seminars.
They even approached Jamie and I to work with GOAL to teach several "Eddie Eagle" classes as they acknowledged that schools no longer teach that program. They said that they feel that there should be more education to children regarding Child Safety.
If you want me to keep going...I can. I've learned a lot about Bass Pro and their sponsorship to the shooting sports that I didn't know about since I started working there.
