Been off line due to a virus but as to Buds Gun Shop, the shop was one of the best in the country TILL Bud became ill AND sort of lost interest. He let a certain person (will not mention actual names for legal and privacy issues) who thought that they knew how to run it better, They ran many a long time customer off JUST because they did not like the way Bud had done business with them in the past, they made several employees mad so as to get infighting going on in the shop which spilled over to customer service, and on and on. This person is still in a position of power however their wings have been clipped by Buds partner who bought Bud completely out in no small part due to this certain person. IF you look on line, they have a lot of bad feedback and it is deserved. I have NEVER had a bad deal with Buds BUT I dealt with either Bud OR one other person in the shop. I have noticed that since Bud's former partner is now the full owner, the one who was running the shop is being put in their place and service is coming back to a good point very slowly. I could go on and on about the antics that went on inside the shop between employees which affected service JUST to get another employee in trouble but it would take too long. Bottom line is this, deal with Buds at your own risk. IF you have had good service, then chances are it will continue but once you have a bad transaction and complain; chances are anymore will not be good transactions due to the employees being petty. I still deal with them but as stated I deal with ONE person ONLY and that person will be there as long as alive and there is a Buds gun Shop.

IF any of you are long time customers, then you should know Bud is in bad health yet has opened a new business since selling his part of the Gun Shop out. Also watch out for some new employees in the shop looking to cause trouble with other employees so be careful who you deal with at Buds IMHO. Deal with the ones who have been there for 2 or more years IMHO. I have noticed prices are going up at the shop, apparently they are no longer running on only a 5% mark up for some reason. What kills me about nthe shop is the on aspect of it that is a pure money maker is the part the employees actually want to not deal with and would love see gone; that is the indoor range. It is pure profit.
