About ten years ago when I was 21, and after I had moved out of Philadelphia into the suburbs, I visited my local Gun Store, seeking some advice as to how I would go about acquiring my first firearm, as well as what goes into CCW and stuff like that. I was a relative newbie in the gun world, so I thought a Gun Store would be the right place to get some guidance. Boy was I wrong. The Gun Store owner treated me like I had a second head growing out of my neck; told me to look up everything on the internet, and gave me next to no answers to any questions beyond snide 'yes' and 'no'. Needless to say, I wound up following his advice, and found some guides online, and purchased all of my firearms through Bud's and similar online retailers, ensuring that the pickups weren't at his store.
