Ok, so I'll admit I read about half way through this, and then gave up trying to catch up on the entire thread.
That said, don't some shops effectively accomplish this by setting up certain hours that are by appointment only, etc? I believe Indy Gun Safety and some others do this.
I'd think for the most part, if someone setup an appointment then they are fairly serious.
All that said, I don't think I could get into paying just to shop. I don't go to the 1500 for several reasons, one of which is not wanting to pay admission to buy something, the other reasons all deal with not wanting to have a dozen guns pointed at me at any given moment, deal with parking, etc.
