[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 4044649, member: 24452"] Along with the price of brick and mortar, small local businesses don’t do the volume that online store do, so they’re not able to get the best price on stuff they probably buy one or two of when an online store might buy a hundred at a time. It’s pretty much impossible for small businesses to compete based on price. Where they can shine is customer service, but most of the gun shops I’ve been to in the last 20 years are run by the crotchetiest people in the world. To be honest, on gun related stuff, I don’t even try to buy local anymore. [/QUOTE]
