Why are gunstore owners such pricks? I have yet to walk into a gunstore where the owners aren't humongous assholes for no fucking reason. They ignore customers, they get indignant when you ask questions, they get pissy if you want to compare, even asking for basic fucking directions elicits groans. All the shops near my house are like this, I thought it was just a WA thing, but I got o OR and it's the same fucking thing.This wouldn't be a problem if they didn't charge outrageous fucking prices on their shit.
How do these places even stay business?

Over here we've got a profession that's basically being a hunter – these people regulate the numbers of wild game (shoot them when there's too many, breed them when there's too few or practice eugenics when the demand is for bucks with large antlers for example), build and resupply hay racks and similar so that the game has shit to eat and somewhere to go to during winter, make sure retards don't do things they shouldn't (make sure birds have quiet and calm for their nesting, etc.) and similar things. I'd expect them to be able to teach anyone how to properly hunt. Don't other countries have similar professions?

Yes, we have them here too, and I suspect this is the case in most European countries since at least the late 19th century. Although in Hungary hunters have a bad reputation, mostly because there are lots of pretentious prolies who try to ape the traditional German hunting culture, even though they lack the "nobility" (for lack of a better word) to make it work. So you get assholes who think that you are a sinner if your rifle has a synthetic stock or if you wear camouflage, yet they are perfectly fine with drunkenly stumbling through the woods until they accidentally shoot at one of their fellow hunters. It also doesn't help them that if a hunter kills someone's dog then he immediately gets into the news.
Pic related, it's a bad maymay about our governments chief hunter (that's not his actual post, he is just the go-to person if anything related to hunting comes up). He went to Scandinavia to hunt at reindeers, and when the media heard that he rented a helicopter for this tour he said it's not a luxurious thing at all. If anything it was hard for him, because he had to spend his time with 5 Sami people who were reeking of vodka. Later it turned out that he illegally killed a domesticated reindeer so that he could pose as some kind of a great huntsman.

American Federal and state wildlife services are just Cops, They're more focused on enforcing the law and making sure your permits are in order. Though they do monitor animal populations in case a disease get's bad enough to issue a culling or reintroduce animals that have gone extinct in an area, but they're far from what i'd call a professional hunter

This stands for basically everything else. I don't really know where this "aping Germans in hunting" comes from, maybe its also a way to show off how "cultured" they are, along with how most Zsideszgipsy are buying German cars to show how wealthy and succesful they are.

From the Austrian part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Hunting has always been the nobility's privilege here, and under the Habsburg rule our high nobility introduced the ways of Vienna to their hunting trips. Lesser nobles took it up, and so our hunters kept this until the commies came. Commies kept hunting as a privilege for the party elite, and I don't have to tell you how commies are. But for other anons: their idea of hunting was getting drunk and randomly shooting at animals that were herded towards their direction. Some of them even preferred SMGs over rifles. And there's the anecdote about one of them who ordered his chauffeur to drive around randomly, so that he can "hunt" pheasants with his pistol. He was drunk -of course he was drunk- and ended up shooting the chauffeur. Now then, the 90s came, the same communists bastards and their descendants remained in power, but they wanted to appear more respectible, so they tried to revive that old German hunting culture. And upper-middle class people got the oppurtinity to also became "hunters", therefore a lot of them turned into snobs to be more legitimate in the eyes of the ex-commies.

Tomorrow is my last day working at a gun shop. It was a really fun 2 years and 4 months (or so). I'll never forget February of 2018 when I counted how many times people pointed a gun at me; 39 times. Or the two people I refused to sell anything to: the first was a man who wanted to make a slamfire rifle out of a barrel and a pipe end cap because wanted to shoot "coyotes", the second was a woman who wanted a .410 shotgun because she had an Army sniper trying to kill her from 300 yards away.
I'm going to take time tonight and write down as much as I can remember, I seriously enjoyed this job. Support your LGS guys.

That was only flagging, I thankfully never had anyone maliciously aim at me. Although several have drawn loaded handguns (to be gunsmithed or some other thing) after I clearly told them not to. I mean, you wouldn't like getting flagged with a cleared gun at the range, why should the gun counter be any different?

This might sound silly, but what do you count a guy pointing a gun at you as? I am very safety-conscious, but some of these guys seem oblivious to safety rules on their end, like they'll put a gun down on the counter that is aiming at them.
You are never going to have perfect protocol in a busy gun store; the most you can ask for is that everyone knows gun safety rules and does their best.

Correct, and that's fine, but in that month I counted any time a muzzle was pointed at me. I'd say something like 70-80% of the time it was sweeping, but there were definitely times the customer pointed the gun at me, again, not maliciously or "as a joke". Hard to explain, but some people just hold handguns in a way that they're always pointed at someone. Very unnerving.

I only use 2 gun stores these days, one is a decent mom and pop LGS with prices that are usually just under msrp. I use them mainly for transfers, but I did get my SP-01 from them. They are generally good guys, but they are always butthurt and resentful when doing transfers. Every other LGS is either tacticool larpers with nothing but overpriced ARs or old fudd shops with even worse prices and outright hostile assholes behind the counter.
The other gun store I use is an Academy. They have actually good prices on some things when on sale, and the guys behind the counter are absolutely hilarious. If they handled transfers, I'd probably never use anyone but them.

Its because many smaller stores only exist for tax fraud or were made by 50+ rich boomer hipsters so they can brag about being "complex and hard working people".
Simply look up the rent prices for the store or who the owner is and then watch how many people are actually going into the stores and buy stuff.
It never adds up, the rent is always higher than the number of stuff they sale and that why they are assholes to people who want to buy things.
Anytime they have a real customer it means these people have to wrestle with their books to make them look normal for the tax office.

Tons of LGSs in my area, but only one shitty range now. Aside from the aforementioned shitty range, most of the other shops in town and out in the surrounding county are overall pretty nice. Don't be a dingus, and don't expect wall-to-wall rarities for bottom-dollar bargains, and you'll find good guns and ammo for good prices with friendly service. One bit of advice: pawn shops are your friend. You want a rotating stock of cheap, interesting pieces? Get thee over to the nearest musty bar-windowed huckster hut. Even if you won't necessarily find anything worth buying, you'll always be able to chuckle with the counter guy at the constant folly of the local trailer dwellers.

Its not just Europe; Japan’s matagi (hereditary bear hunters), whose history is said to date back to the Heian Period (794-1185). They hunt in groups, traditionally with bows for long range hunting and spears when things get a little frisky, but since the introduction of firearms, they've been using that since. Sadly, the central government and the National Police agency are manned by a bunch of city boy faggots educated in the highest levels of academia (this having no imagination) so the matagi have been left out of most fun law changes and their traditions are dying off.
Then there's another group called the Ryo-Yuu Kai (猟友会 - Hunter's Association) that was founded around the 1930s but they're all loveable fudds who wish to see a relaxing of gun laws to get younger guys in but the again, the police agency is manned by faggots.

I think the issue with the Boomers has been the fact they had the optimism that came with the brighter future offered by the post war years in the United States especially, combined with the fact they had respect for institutions, authority, parents, so they actually absorbed the horseshit propaganda (even if it was far less radical then) better than the later generations. They were also the first purely selfish generation in that they were raised and taught to be about selfish minor things in life rather than family and putting children, race, tribe, people, family before one's own petty material wants and nigger tier social status symbols. Later generations are worse in some ways, but they were never as mind washed as the Boomers because of the breakdown of authority and society, they also didn't grow up with strong families and as much traditional value as the Boomers did, nor did they grow up in the same solid happy way the Boomers did.
The Boomer had the best of both worlds, married parents, family and church, traditional values, morality, all with the new wealth and technology. He also marched into a post war economy where the US was still top dog and opportunity and pay were everywhere. The Boomer was literally spoiled completely rotten. He also lived so many decades of relative ease and comfort, lived the good life, got the best of everything, to the point he got so high he can't come down; even as his country burns around him, he turns away from the children and grandchildren he's failed, turns away from the street shitting hobos and their drug needles clogging the streets, turns away from the dying society and increasingly ruined country, and isolates himself in a comfortable little world of other well to do Boomer white folks, pensions, easy carefree life, focusing purely on the positives and completely blocking out the world burning around him.
Charles Osgood's "Good Enough" society. Tell a Boomer anything negative and they will ignore it, go deep into denial instantly. Tell him problems with his children and grandchildren, he runs to "normalize" the problem, reasons the kids "are alright" and the disease, degeneracy, mental illness, unhappiness is actually some sort of twisted positive so they don't have to accept the fact there is a problem at all. Tell him gun control is coming, that the State is becoming tyrannical, that society is burning down, that a civil war may be inevitable; he drifts off into la la land and reasons there is no problem, or casually accepts the problems as "progress". "Its alright, we don't need those rights, freedoms, we don't need those guns, or private property, we don't need morals, everything is pretty good" He doens't fold like a wet paper bag because he won't fight, its because he refuses to even acknowledge there is a problem.
The final Boomer problem is the inherent self righteous nature of the Boomer. Again, this goes back to school as a social engineering tool. "Common sport, you wanna be a team player, right? All the cool kids like to compromise and get along, right? Smart and intelligent people, reasonable people, all want to agree with Big Brother, or at least follow the social trends, or at least be the bigger man by giving up or compromising right?" He's been engineered to give up things he should not, and think he is a winner, a team player, a good old boy, for losing and failing.

first gun I ever bought the guy asked me what the purpose was and I said I dont know, self defense and the second amendment? He said surely you mean target shooting arnt you going to be doing a lot of target shooting? Yes sir absolutely it's for target shooting. This was like ten years ago and I've never seen that since. Did that used to be a 4473 question or something?
There's a chain moving into my area called Shoot Point Blank which is super corporate and has a strange feel to it, but an upside of that is that they are extremely helpful, friendly, and professional. Its like they did market research and asked people what they want in a gun store and made training videos. The clerks have little catchphrases and shit that they always say. Not bad. I never use the range because it always has 100 people lined up.
There's an independent one nearby also which is pretty excellent. Great modern range with very good ventilation. The two shitty boomer ones left a hole in the market and these two businesses are capitalizing.
I do miss my living room office FFl though, that's the best. Also outdoor private club ranges are the best.
