I purchased my first gun from you guys 12 years ao and you were all very helpful. I still carry my sig 239 to this day.

Good job guys. It is well deserved and the reason why I buy almost all my guns from you. See you soon.

Then those other gun shops need to try harder.
Bradis earned this.
Any gun shop in Indiana has a shot at this.
Too all those that did not win, good luck next year, and remember to take care of your customers, they will remember.

 

[SaintsNSinners]

Its like a canned hunt. Just not sporting

Congrats to all the fine folks at Bradis. Your victory is well-deserved. There are many fine gunshops in Indiana. Bradis is just the best.

How so? Seems to me we had the same chance as everyone else starting out.

Starting out sure, but once all those shill accounts were created.....

Disclaimer: never been to Bradis and don't really care who wins.

Well, for one thing you are near a major population center which gives you a larger number of people who are able to cast a vote. So for example maybe you really impressed 1000/2000 people that visited your store and 100 of them voted for you. Now take the LGS in Podunk IN that only got 500 people through the doors. Say they really impressed a whopping 400 but the same percentage of those customers voted giving them a score of only 40. Relatively speaking, a higher percent of Podunk gun shoppers voted for them but you would win simply because of the number of people nearby enough to shop with you.

I'm not saying that you didn't deserve to win; I have no idea. I'm just saying gun shops in larger population centers have an advantage. It is what it is.

Using that line of logic then BGF or Elmore's should have won as they are closer to the center of the larger population.
I continually see where people comment they have driven past multiple LGS's or driven 1-1 1/2 hours to go to this LGS. They must be doing something right.

4 of the 5 finalists are in the greater Indy metro area (i.e. the same market), but your theory only goes so far; a number of shops in the Indy area didn't even make it past the nomination stage, while some smaller/more remotely located shops did.

Congrats Bradis crew, you have a superb shop and crew! Your shop is a must stop any time I am in the area. And I can honestly say I see Bradis advertise a lot more on here than any other shops. I live on the ohio river but I know what Bradis has in stock and what it doesn't!
