Stopped into Pop's Guns today.

[Bluedragon]

Was coming back from Indy today and decided to stop by to Pop's Guns seeing I have heard about it from people here on INGO. It seemed to be an okay shop but the selection was somewhat small with mostly Glock's and XD's. The Indoor range was kinda neat too but I think the biggest thing for when I was in there that two black men showed up and within minutes they had the store wreaking like Marijuana. The guys behind the counter didn't seem to notice or didn't care and the two men brought with them a pistol that looked like a Taurus Millennium Pro that was field stripped and they requested the owner of the shop reassemble it for them. Stating an officer had stripped it during a traffic stop and they couldn't figure out how to get it back together again.

I will add however the guys working the counter seemed polite and they did ask me a few times if I needed any help or if I wanted to look at anything in particular so that's always a plus.

Just thought I would share my first and probably last experience at that particular location being it's quite a drive out and I felt like I was gonna get robbed in the parking lot.

Hope you were armed just incase.

When I first moved back to the Indy area I stopped in and bought a Glock from them. Over the years I've been back a handful of times but I've always been disappointed in their selection and their attitude. Like when the guy behind the counter told me that a TC in 45/70 wouldn't take down a white tail. He tried to talk me into buying the .444 Marlin lever action he had in stock, and that he was "sure" it was legal for deer in Indiana. (It isn't.)

Oh I was, as soon as I found out I had to run errands in Indy today, I made sure to be "strapped" as they say down there.

 

[goinggreyfast]

Yeah I forgot to add that in my OP but one guy was cool with me browsing when I mentioned it was my first time there but an older gentlemen seemed like he stopped caring when I mentioned it to him, and almost made me feel like I was being an inconvenience to him or something. That and when the Pineapple Express showed up made me decide to leave earlier then I had planned.

They did however try to get me to buy a Kahr K9 that was decked out with a bright nickel slide with gold accents before I left though. Said it belonged to a lady who only fired it one time before selling it and moving to Florida?? lol

I dunno for the most part Muncie sucks as a town, and as for crime about the only thing we have going on is crack heads down town.

Better strap yo self fool

 

[Bluedragon]

I have seen that site before but there is nothing going on here other then drugs on BSU and down town.

Strap myself? I intend too that was the point of getting my permit after all. lmao.

 

[Hop]

Ha, I was in there once and the same exact thing happened. A black guy came in with a gun stripped to pieces and couldn't get it back together. He said an LEO gave it back to him that way too.

And no, he didn't smell like weed.

 

[Brandon]

It's not all that bad around Pops, you need to go further up Post Rd. to find the crime.

Red, green, blue, doesn't matter to me. The color was the same in my case as the OP. No offense intended. I'm kinda lightly toasted saltine cracker colored myself.

Sure thing. I saw that when he posted it as well. I know I'm not alone when I say that too. No offense intended as well.

I'm starchy "cracker" white BTW.
