Supporting Local Gun Shops - How Much Are You Willing to Pay?

[MrSmitty]

I have a couple LGS's I frequent, mostly kick tires, yesterday went to one real close by and found the gun we wanted, for a great price, and bought it, I try to buy from them when I can. Since Walscam stopped selling handgun, and MSR ammo, I'll buy from small guys, even paying a premium for it...

The more volume the lgs sell the cheaper they can sell them. People need to understand this. If they sell a lot of firearms and ammunition they get big discounts that they pass to you from their distributors. Lgs need to sale something like 20-25 of the same firearm to get a big discount on volume buying. Most can't because we are all to busy buying online. If Biden does stop online buying of firearms, ammunition and parts. Lgs will actually benefit from that legislation. Because you will be forced to go through them which increases their volume of sales and lowers their prices as well. I even order in reloading supplies like bullets from my lgs it's usually same price as buying online without paying for shipping costs.
