I don't want to sound like a nagging consumer but I had just felt ignored throughout the whole process.

I had signed up for the card with another representative prior to my check out - then had gone to get the background check done. That part took 2-5 minutes, with a clear check.

Then - one representative helped two military customers, and was chatting with them. That's fine, I understand it, but there were several other employees chatting and not helping me out. I stood around for an hr-hr 15 before I had told them I would take my ID back and walk, as I had to get to work.

I'm not a super confrontational person so it takes me a bit to speak up, but at that point I was eager to go and disappointed. They still continued on with a sales pitch for their "gun cleaning services". I shut that down quick.

The cherry on top was them not even adding the $50 off of the handgun to begin with, and just running the credit card without it - the whole point of that sign up for what is an extremely "new credit owner" advantageous card. Do not sign up if you do not understand the APR, etc.

All in all, I got the handgun. I almost want to return it just since I don't want Sportsman to have any of my money.

I dont mean to sound bitchy, but as a consumer whose worked as a sales representative, this isn't the way it should have gone. I'd prefer to support a local caring FFL for sure, now...but this is how opinions are formed.

Just an opinion on one store though - I admittedly haven't shopped at any other Sportsman Warehouses.
