I look at it this way. The owner of a local shop of mine that I have done a lot of business with, had a customer wanting a gun priced for him. The customer said I'll buy from Buds because it's $50 cheaper. This is after the shop owner spent time with him. After paying an FFL fee of $20 he saved a whopping $30. I really do not understand the thinking of some people honestly. You have to understand it from a buisness stand point. If you do not like someones price move on and buy elsewhere. Now, if the price difference was larger I could see holding off and waiting.
These people rub me the wrong way. They will lurk for hours in a local store, have the clerks show them weapons and answer their questions only to run to the Internet to save $20 and screw their local shop owner.
I almost always buy locally and yes, I usually pay more by supporting my local shops. But I value their service and support them for supporting me and my local gun community. I go to the net only for things they don't have in stock. Go into Blythe's in Valpo and ask them how many guns the Military Arms guy buys from them... Just don't tell my wife what they tell you.
