I went to adventure outdoors today... Yes I should know better, but I did it anyway and they didn't disappoint.
Was looking at a dissipator that must have been made during the assault weapons ban. The individual trying to show me the weapon and educate me on it said " the magazine well would only accept single stack AR mags and it wouldn't be able to hold more than five rounds"
I asked if I could see one of those Daniel defense new production 30 round AR mags. I then inserted it into the dissipator and we just stood there looking at each other for a minute. I didn't have the heart to tell him he was a buffoon. I don't know why but most of the staff should be not anywhere near firearms more or less sell them.
Next I went over to the ammo section. A young man I'd seen earlier was filling out a 4473 to buy a 1924 Mosin. It was almost $500 but wasn't good condition. The gun runner who takes the weapons from the counter to the register was helping him locate ammo. I don't know whose mom is working up at adventure outdoors but the lady did not have a clue about the ammo type. She tried handing them a box of Winchester white box 7.62x51. The poor kid had no idea she was handing them the wrong stuff. I wasn't going to let this poor kid hurt himself or ruin his rifle or waste his money so I spoke up. I located a box of 54r for him. And gave the lady a look of how can you be this incompetent and what are you doing here.
I get it. No one knows it all. But holy hell it ain't that hard. The lack of knowledge, unprofessionalism, and arrogance from the staff is astounding. If you don't know the answer say you don't know. And then try and locate somebody who does have the knowledge to answer the question correctly.
It's very troubling how many people they probably screw over or hurt because of their incompetence. I was probably in the store for 20 minutes and these are the things I observed and experienced.
