So yesterday I went to a gun store about 30 miles from me to get some night sites for a handgun that I traded for (Glock 17). An hour before I called the store to verify they had the item and they confirmed That, yes they did and the guy told me to ask for a certain rep. He said that guy could install them as well for no additional charge. I loaded up and headed to the shop. I arrived and sanitized and all that stuff . Upon entering I was asked by the owner “what can we help you with today” I informed him I had called about getting some sights and some am no. He told me that the 9mm and 5.56 ammo was only being sold with a gun purchase. He then told me he could not sell me any sights because he was too busy selling guns. I have bought a lot and often from this store. I was a bit taken aback by this reply. I decided to politely ask if I could just purchase the sights I would install them myself as I have access to the few tools and knowledge From a friend needed to install them correctly and safely. He declined to sell them to me and said he could not justify taking a person off the counter for the sale. So I was going to spend 75 or so dollars for the sights which would have taken what 2 minutes tops with the check out And all? I understand him being too busy to install them and the ammo I get too but if I want to purchase the sights why not? I kept my cool but the more I reflect on this I am kind of bothered by it and I am contemplating not returning to the store to patronize it again. What do you all say?
