Welcome to Indiana, my name is Don's

[Que]

Being from Illinois he should be used to pricing like that.

He's actually from Chicago, so there was never a need/ability to purchase a gun. When he heard how much he could paid for a LNIB HK, Sig, or XD, compared to what he paid, he was a little upset. But, I doubt he will ever make that choice again.

Everyone gets screwed on their first gun purchase. And then they wise up and join INGO.

 

[Que]

But wait... I thought he didn't like to make money, he just likes to sell guns... How can he afford that if he doesn't make money? Did he lie to me?

He said he didn't "wanna' make any money." He likes to make money very much!

Very true! Thank God for

My wife and I went to Don's last fall just to check it out. There were all these handguns in a case painted all kinds of different colors. I wondered "Who would want a gun painted up like that?" Of course, it didn't take long to figure it out.
I felt sorry for the guns. . .

Well, it maybe used...he probably got a good deal on it...er made a deal for it .

Maybe it's an investment Bersa.

Yeah, I'm a former Crook County resident myself so I know his pain. Just making a light joke of how people in Chicago, my former self included, overpay for everything.

 

[Protest]

Sorry to hear he got taken advantage of. Make sure he knows about the better shops around the Indy area. Plainfield shooting supplies, Bradis, Fort Liberty, Century 21, Beach-grove...

Seriously? It's Beech Grove. It's two words. It's spelled Beech. It's my home, get it right. You should know better, you live next door in Indianapolis.

I went into Don's once. Just ONCE. The clowns he had working for him were almost worth going in there to see.

 

[Rabÿros]

I've been to dons a few times. The prices are ridiculous. I remember a Hi Point 9mm for around $500 and a Ruger LCP and LCR for $600 each. I went with a friend one time to use the range, since he didn't have a gun he thought about renting a 1911...I forget exactly how much it was but it with rental, ammo, protection, and range time it was about $100. We just left.

I'm ashamed to admit that I have used the range a few times and bought an IWB holster there.
I won't be going back even if it means driving a little farther to Pop Guns

 

[jghelton]

HMMM...You would think that they would at least entertain the thought.....That may have been the first interaction that man had with a gun salesman...That impression will last forever POOR GUY

 

[1LuvGuns]

I'm a transplant from Ohio, and thanks to INGO I'll never set foot in Don's store.

2 years ago I went to the drags at Muncie and saw this car.

I have heard a lot about Don's guns but have never been in the store. After meeting him that day I can say that I have no desire to even check out the store.

if I ever see that car at the dragstrip and verify its him, I'll load the exhaust with golfballs, place $5 worth of nails around it, and idk what else

 

[dooleydclown]

Hey Gabby let's not insult clowns like that!!

 

[HandK]

Wow!! just Wow!!

 

[edg]

Moved here from NW IN nearly 20 yrs ago. I have driven by Dons but just something creepy about the guy and never have. So what do we do about this? Introduce someone to the sport/sickness we have. Take 'em to the range, teach them safety first and foremost and have fun. I don't know how old the man is, but he will retire one day.

 

[thunderchicken]

Hey Yamaha, I hope I never see him at any of the drag strips I run at. If he ever walks into my pit area I will certainly be chasing him off. I don't want any part of the likes of him or his cronies. You know they used to call him Teflon Don..I don't know about Teflon but he's slimier than hot chicken fat on a door knob.

 

[wetidlerjr]

We are from Don's Guns and we are here to help you.

 

[96firephoenix]

haha, we went to Don's a few times right after we moved here, just for the range. it seemed kinda sketch, and as the LSM got worse, Don's got sketchier and more expensive. I'll only go in there to look at a gun that they may not have at another store or to look at one close to home before I drive down to Bradis or somewhere else to get the same model.
