    Did anyone else see the segment on channel 6 news about Don's guns national ranking on guns used in crimes? The story said that Don's is ranked #3 in the nation for sold guns recovered in crime investigation. They have had over 1900 recovered in the last 4 years.

    Old Don said that he believes this is due solely to the high volume of guns he sells, which is claimed to be up to 300 a day. He also said "blame the gun laws, not the gun stores.":dunno::popcorn:

    Bradis has the hi point 9's for $129 right now. Did they at least give your co workers room mate a free tub of vasoline with the purchase? He's going to need it after that screwing.

    Obviously you are not in there during his "behind closed doors after hours, no paperwork for cash sales, I'll fill it out later sales" I wouldn't ever buy from him simply because I hate snitches, his outrageous prices just seals the boycott.

    I can't believe a little store in Indiana makes 3rd in the nation. It's not like we have a violent crime problem on a national scare in the area. I always thought the prices there were a little ridiculous, and with this tidbit of information, I definitely won't be visiting.

    That guy is just... stupid. He always says blame the laws, but if the laws were more restrictive, he wouldn't be able to fulfill his love for selling guns. Besides, there is no way that place is moving that kind of volume.

    I also can't understand if it's obvious there are straw purchases going on in that place, why ATF hasn't conducted some kind of investigation and closed him down. No, I'm not saying anything disparaging about the neighborhood or the clientele, but the obvious business practices of the store if they are ranked that high.

    I am not a fan of Don's "Overpriced" Guns, but you do have to realize that he has a national website where he sells guns too. If you are not a gun connoisseur like most of us the only "gun store" you have probably ever heard of due to mass advertising is Don's in Indy, so they don't know whether they are getting a good deal or not. It is on us to show our friends and colleagues the light...:):
