| - I avoid this place like the plague.
Anthony Arms ought to be my go-to place for all things guns. After all, it's got (a) an incredibly convenient location, (b) a large selection of guns, (c) an attached indoor shooting range, and (d) an on-site, on-service gunsmith. Unfortunately, the service is frighteningly inconsistent: at its best it's slow but friendly, and at its worst it's downright surly, mean-spirited, and rude. Depending on a multitude of factors, apparently including what side of the bed the salesperson woke up on that day, you're going to get one or the other.
Every single time I have gone to buy a gun here, I've walked out empty-handed. Sometimes, I was completely ignored despite polite requests for help. Other times, I'd get a well-meaning salesman who started to help me, but then ended up helping another customer instead (forgetting all about me in the process). I tolerated these. The last straw, however, came when I came across one particularly fine example of salesmanship (and humanity, apparently ...) who rolled his eyes with condescension and frustration at every question I asked (I only had three questions to ask, by the way, and he answered none of them).
I'm never coming back here again.
