That is on the front page of his website www.donsguns.com. I guess I didn't realize he was the person that said that age old quote.

Not that I am aware of, he did in fact work as a teamster while working on the dock of the trucking company that my Dad worked at. In fact, my Dad said he loaned him $50.00 which he never got paid back.
Dunno about that... but when I tried to find that.. I found out that he who shall not be named has his own Wikipedia page, where they titled him a gun activist...
Link if you dare.
Don Davis (gun activist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After reading that, myself NOR my dollars will ever grace his store.

Anyone ever wonder if 'ol Don ever googles himself to see what others are saying about him/store? Or the store's employees? Or if they CARE?

I almost stepped my foot in that place a few years back when I was in town and looking for a CZ. None of the stores seemed to have them in stock. So I was pulling into the lot when something urgent came up and I had to leave. Thank goodness for that!
I called them later to ask about what they had in stock and their prices... Boy was I taken aback by the response. It was something like "We are the largest dealer in Indiana and our policy is to not disclose prices over the phone, because of our large inventory most likely we have what you're looking for in stock, why don't you head down and see what you like"... Are you kidding me???!!! I have never heard of any reputable business that wouldn't disclose prices over the phone!
What a shady dealer

Wait!!! You guys really think he owns an over priced gun store to make money?! I really think he just loves to sell guns... not that he makes money on that.. ugh, nevermind.
FIFY.
I have been in there twice sadly. Once was sheer curiosity shortly after my 18th birthday. Planned to never go back.
Then six months ago, a friend dropped in and he was talking about buying his first handgun. I told him we could go make a day of it, get him to feel some up and see what he liked. He said okay... Unfortunately, shortly before we left he was doing some google-fu and was looking up a bunch of gun stores within 20/30 miles. He wrote Don's on the list and wanted to shoot the DEagle .50AE. Somehow he talked me into walking in there again.
Might have involved buying lunch or something. I dunno. He didn't even shoot the DEagle because of how awkward he felt. We weren't in there more than 5 mins.

I actually think you will find many gun shops that do not disclose prices over the phone. I can't say as I blame them either.

I have complete respect for Plainfield Shooting Supplies. Good people, reasonable prices. Much like Bradis - this is how an Indiana gun shop should be operated.
Now we should just get PSS to advertise on INGO.

Went in there once and only once, will not go back.
I was looking for a jericho 941, they had one for....$700
mind you this was a <$500 gun, hell they were $375 on gunbroker for quite a while. I noticed everything in the store was at least $200 or more
above other stores ie. PSS.
Moreover, I asked the guy at the counter if i could see the gun, NOPE! since i was only 20 yrs old i couldn't hold it nor could he even take it out of the case because i wasn't 21
...nevermind that i had my LTCH and a S&W5906 on my belt. I thought...wow, never again.

Well that makes sense, I dont know any store that would let you see the gun knowing that you cannot legally buy it.
They wouldnt let a 12 years old hold it either.
Not saying that the law is not silly, since you can carry at 18 but only buy at 21, but that's the law.
Why is that?
If you find a gun too expensive when they tell you the price on the phone, then you are not going to buy it once you find out what is the price in the store either.
Or maybe people find themselves forced to buy even if they dont like the price once they came all the way to the store.
Last time I called a gun shop I asked for a few prices to know how much cash I needed to bring with me, they were happy to tell me.

Your dad should go get the $50 DON owes him
Sadly, he passed away 22 years ago. He always said that Don was a good for nothing cheap s.o.b.
