God forbid someone has an unpleasant experience at FS and post about it several times to try and cut through all the FS sympathizer posts.
I know numerous people that have not had a good experience there and don't post here.
Basically, Mpen1070 was saying "Your girlfriend is a whore" and you all reacted as a boyfriend would be expected to react: Blind to the real situation of her truly being a whore.
Maybe another way to describe it would be for him to say "Your favorite band sucks".
I think the reason why people stepped up to defend FS, at least for me, is because we all have had the same 'treatment' while there and never once thought it was discriminatory. It would be very easy for me to cry 'sexism' in the handling of any of my purchases at this or any other place. But I would be WRONG to do so. FS has a process that they follow. If they don't, the sales person is deviating. When the place is rocking the phone call for the background check is often done 'out back' becaus eof the noise level. The guns are always tucked behind the counter during this time. I hav purchased guns there when it was less crowded ad the check was done on the phone at the counter. The gun was left on the counter during these transactions. I have NEVER been handed my guns before ALL paperwork was done, background check, e-FA10, and a second employee checks the paperwork! And most of these guys know me by NAME and the new ones recognize my face when I come in through the door. I don't get my panties in a wad when one of them asks for my LTC before handing me a gun to check out, even if I was in the day before buying a gun from the same sales guy.
I had one bad experience at FS. I called Carl and he took care of it. I didn't get on the internet and bitch to everyone about it.
