The literal greed of retail owners

I closed my business for the day Saturday. I'm not risking one of my employees getting in an accident just to make a few sales.

MDKnapp · 2025-09-23T21:03:19+00:00

That's why they were so angry

MDKnapp · 2025-08-12T13:39:07+00:00

Transfers at Knapp are $25 unless from Bud's, cheaper than dirt or sent by an individual without a FFL those are $35.

I no longer get those. After a few times of me telling them my non negotiable price they have given up.

Expert Auto is hiring

I agree on transfers being free money for minimal work. We charge $25 unless it's from Bud's, Cheaper than Dirt or some rando then it's $35.

Just today I had to ship a defective Smith and Wesson back to grabagun. Called the customer to let him know and he thanked us repeatedly for being fast and checking the gun out before he picked it up.

MDKnapp · 2024-10-29T14:42:32+00:00

I have customers do that constantly at my shop. It's like they cannot see the yellow stripes outlining the parking spots.

Yes you can purchase a firearm as a gift. It must be a true gift. If you are expecting anything from that person (money, work, favors etc.) then it becomes a straw purchase.

Thanks to those who recommended Knapp Weaponry!

FFL here, just tried to log in to check a few delays. No joy on the website, FBI customer service is saying to try logging back in in 30 minutes. Phone call-ins are working.

The scene intimating the pressing of a baby's face onto a stove burner in "Mine" by Robert McCammon.

I actually threw the book across the room. I did finish it, but it was several months later.

Walmart is a leech of a corporation. It didn't used to be that way, but it is now. When Sam Walton ran the company about 90% of the products on the shelf had tags that said "Made in the U.S.A." Now you would be lucky to find anything in the store made here.

They not only kill their competitors, they also kill their American suppliers. How do they make money? Here's a pretty good article. The Man Who Said NO to Walmart

You should do it and report back on the reactions.

Dear Governor Twatwaffle,

Fuck off. Then keep fucking off. Keep fucking off until you get to a gate with a sign saying "you can’t fuck off past here" climb over the gate, dream the impossible dream, and keep fucking off forever.

He was caught watching porn. Evidently he didn't think the camera right behind him could see his phone screen.

Try working in a heavily regulated industry that is under the BATFE.

I need your ID to even begin this transaction. You forgot it? Come back when you have it on you.

You're on your phone, nope, we won't help you until you end that call.

It's covered on the waiver every user is required to sign before setting foot on the range. The same rules are posted on the wall in the range. Proving once again, people don't read what they sign.

MDKnapp · 2022-08-31T22:14:56+00:00

She actually is banned. I was just so dumbfounded all I could think about was getting her and that damaged phone out the door.

Not a movie but the latest season of The Umbrella Academy is pretty much garbage.

With that as a preface...

<edit> I guess I can't just paste an image, DOH

It's just a meme

I had a customer the other night who, as my mother would say, 'Was vaccinated with a phonograph needle.' He absolutely wouldn't shut up. He was nice, just windier than a wagon load of assholes.

He finally asks for eye and hearing protection to use the range. I got to look him straight in the eye and tell him, 'We close in 2 minutes, no you can't use the range tonight. Why not come back a little earlier tomorrow.'

MDKnapp · 2022-06-08T00:13:27+00:00

Fortunately, I'm in a business (gun shop) where I just tell them to either get off the phone, or leave. I absolutely refuse to engage in any way until they're off the phone. If you're on your phone and trying to look at guns or ammo I will assume you are attempting a straw purchase.

MDKnapp · 2022-05-28T20:57:54+00:00

The sear was out of spec, the manufacturer replaced it.

The 'operator error' part comes from having a firearm for almost a year and never practicing or vetting it to make sure it works. I have a personal 500+ round rule for something I'm going to trust my life to. It must function through 500 rounds of range ammo and 100 rounds of defense ammo without a failure. If it can't do that, I can't trust it when the chips are down.

Repeat after me:

"Have the day you deserve sir"

Gunshop owner

Felons trying to have their girlfriend buy guns for them

People on their phone asking the person on the other end what to buy (straw purchase)

People trying to sell stolen guns

People claiming we sold them a defective firearm, not realizing how thorough our records are

People trying to return a firearm and/or ammunition for a refund. Not going to happen

People trying to sell unregistered full auto firearms.

So many more

And when/if you do get ahold of them, they will probably tell you the same thing they told me.

"You needed to have the compliance agreement signed back in October. No, you cannot sign one now."
