So for the first time in my life, I went into "Alpha-Omega" gun shop in Nampa. What is up with the sign on the door that says "No Glocks sold, fixed bought, traded, etc..." ? Did they have a run-in with Glock, or are they just that anti-Glock? Anyway, speaking of signs, they also had a pretty elaborate sign about not bringing ANY loaded or concealed guns inside. Oh well, their store, their rules. So this big lumberjack looking dude politely asks if he can help me. I said "do you carry any GG&G stuff?". His answer was "never heard of'em, what do they make?". I replied "AR parts, do you carry any aftermarket AR parts?", He says "Oh yeah, plenty of them" and walks me over to another part of the store. I see shelves of knockoff Chinese and airsoft replica stuff. All their optics were Tac-Star, and that other fake repo stuff. I told him thanks anyway and mentioned I was going to wander around for a bit to see if anything catches my eye. After a few minutes, I noticed the guy literally following me around with the world's worst attempt at trying to be not noticed. It didn't take me all of two minutes to determine this guy thought I was going to shop-lift the entire store. Please tell me I simply misunderstood the way my first visit went.
All this talk about what a turd the owner is makes me feel obligated to go down there and get kicked out....cause that's how I roll!!!Adios,TG
Not if I load up on Los Betos 3 hours before going in.
Well there's some things about Frank not everyone knows...
The guy is a little different, maybe, but he always treated me OK. I've bought some stripped LAR lower receivers from him as he usually had them in stock for a reasonable price up until recently. Plus some other odds and ends. No need to harass him. If you don't like the place, don't go in. If he doesn't treat his customers right, the marketplace will take care of it.
You make a good point, and sometimes I hate the fact that I am reasonable. sigh, it sounded like a good idea at the time.
He tried to tell me that my GLock 23 was gonna kaboom on me.
Tgibson track this buddy
Have been since March 13!! Adios,TG
as neby said we always get followed in there, if you don't think they follow you go to the left hand section of the store by the magazines and watch there will always be someone within sight of you. i refuse to buy anything there now because im tired of being followed and tired of looking at chinese crap.funniest thing i ever saw in there were the davis .380's that he sells in either blue or red... hmmmm......
+1 for them, they have always been honest and treated me well. I have even become friends with one of the guys, former small alarm company owner, and we always have a blast. They know me now by name and still follow me around, just there way and I am okay with it...especially after Jeff told me how he "lost" a few items at the show. Economy is bad and it gives people a reason to be dirt bags and steal I guess. Sorry off topic, yeah little strange but they treat me well!
I had to pick up some primers at mgm the other day and decided to stop in with my buddy. We were followed for bit, with one dude standing awkwardly close to me and ready to answer any question I had. He quit after a while. The employees were pretty nice to me. The one thing I didn't like was one of the guys complaining about nobody spending any money in his store. It was funny the first time I heard him make a joke about charging people for looking; but I was there for 30-40 mins looking around and heard him complain about it every 5-10 mins. Some things seem decently priced, but other stuff was definitely way over priced. I also got the "know it all" attitude. I'm not a firearms expert by any means, but I do know a thing or two and I hate it when some of these guys talk down to me like I'm an idiot.
So....just drivin by minding my own MF'in business when what do I see, a group of "Zombies" picketing Alpha dumbasses shop, they are on the sidewalk holding signs saying" Alpha Omega unfair to zombies" all made up and shit....HILARIOUSTrying to get a pix on here.. stay tuned.Reason being I'm guessin is that Alpha dingdong put on his reader board "Zombie hunting supplies sold here" How unfair to the zombies, they have rights too..........LMAOPops( and NO I did not organize this)
I was talking to a friend the other day and the subject of local gun shops came up. My friend said "what's that gun store in Nampa?, the Jesus One"...and I laughed...He was refering to Aplha Omega...and YES, he did get followed around when he went in...
