That's true.
It's hell right now for a lot of folks sadly.
That's true.
I agree - I hate to see anyone suffering from a job loss. I think they were closed except for curbside pickup because they are a "non-essential" business. If they had continued selling firearms and ammunition the situation might have be been different.\
Hate to see anybody lose their jobs in this economy. I know we hate the business model they operate on, but humans work there to support their families and they are victims of the corporate mind thinking.
Guess you weren't old enough to go to Skaggs downtown with their barrels of milsurp rifles and tables of lugers and p38's. In the 60'sDo you remember when Skaggs Alpha-Beta one in Tulsa had a full sporting goods section in their grocery store? They had reloading and everything when I was kid some 40ish years ago. Loved that place. Not as cool as Otasco but it was cool.
I do remember that.There was also a sporting goods store in the mall on the north side of 41st and Yale that went out of business in the mid to late 80s that had some great deals on S&W pistols.Can't remember the name but it may have been Looboyles.
I seem to remember some (or maybe one) stores also experimenting with selling reloading components and equipment.If memory serves some Wal-Mart stores used to sell pistols.
Me too!!!! Would go there every week and buy a lure when I could. Drool over the goose/duck decoys. Dream about a new shotgun. At the age of about 12-13 the sporting goods counter gave my house a call and my parents said I won a tackle box in a drawing. I go up there to get it and got the shock of my life for a 12-13 year old. It had 50 .00 worth of tackle. I guess I was too young to read the details of the drawing about the tackle.Loved the tackle section at Gibsons when I was a kid!
