Elmore’s hit AGAIN!

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

LOL. That reminds me of some schoolmates' elder brother. Idiot thought he was a burglar. The folks opening a restaurant found him on the floor with a broken leg. He'd fallen out of the ventwork.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Yep. I hear ya. I went in for 5 mins to pickup a part I knew they had. Walked in, made a quick lap to see what they were all about, got talked down to by the old guy next to the cash register for interrupting his BS session as I requested assistance and he shooed me away to a young guy behind the other counter. He grabbed my part, I handed him a $20 and was out the door. 45 mins later I could still smell the smoke on my clothes.

That's been my experience the few times I've been in there. I'm a smoker, so the smoke doesn't bother me, but being treated like an inconvenience rather than a customer does. Since there usually seems to be one or more Greenwood LEOs participating in the BS sessions, maybe they should hold these sessions at night when the store is closed. Owners and cops get to have their BS sessions, uninterrupted (unless someone comes through the ceiling of course) and that would free up the employees to actually wait on customers when they're open. Win-win.

Exactly my experience with the place, which is why I've never been back. From what I've heard, they don't want any business but LEO's anyway, so I guess their plan is working...

I live 5 minutes away from Elmore's and have not been in the shop in quite a while for the same reason. On occasion, they've been helpful, but almost always they've been condescending. Still, sucks to see them hit again.

It is hard to be a customer there I agree. Over the years I have bought a handful of items, Jason seems to be the most helpful.

It still sucks that they were hit again, now there are more guns on the street, that likely will end up in the wrong hands.
I hope they catch the perp, and not let him go or plea bargain down his offense.

 

[Tactically Fat]

I've only bought a few things from them over the years. Mostly ammo and a few AR accessories (most recent was a buffer spring). I most definitely get the "good ol boy" vibe from that store the most. That's fine. It's Russ and Jason's store.

I WAS going to stop in this afternoon and see what kind of safe I might could order from them. But it seems they'll be a little too busy dealing with another crap storm to bother with it. I'll head to Honey Creek Tackle in Bargersville and poke around in there instead.

You guys need to come down and go to Whittaker’s new store.
It can be life changing I am only allowed to go with my Wife.

If a gun shop gets hit over and over does anyone get suspected in the shop.
I know a guy who’s boat suffered severe damage every few years.
He always had a nice boat.

I just had to check out the header of this forum and thread.
I could have sworn I had accidentally visited a beauty shop and got stuck in between a bunch of old cackling hens full of gossip.

What gossip is that?

 

[T.Lex]

I'm more curious about what beauty shops he's going to that has live poultry.

A friend is interested.

You have a "friend" who chokes chickens in nail salons?

Do we really need to bring Harvey Weinstein and Louis CK into this thread, too.

 

[MarkC]

Definitely the "good old boy" kind of place, and dismissive of those who aren't "in." I used to go there, and would get the cold shoulder until I told them that I was a LEO and was good friends with and a co-worker of their buds (two guys, in particular).

Now I go to Martinsville Guns, where Lynn's just as bad, but he's always happy to see me.

You make this sound like it's a bad thing. Is it? Asking for a friend.

Hey, he can even grope the employees while doing it! No red card.

 

[CHCRandy]

Through the roof is how they hit us at Galyan's.

When was that? They must have been dropping in ceilings forever! Did you ever know Gene Gibson that had the gun store in Belleville? Remember that shoot out? His brother Ed was killed.

Where is Whitakers? Do they have a website with their info?

They're in Owensboro, KY. I guess I missed their hey day for my tastes. I heard they had an awesome selection of milsurp guns but now have gotten away from that and are focused on new stuff. I hear it's very good for that though.

https://shop.whittakerguns.com/

 

[Brad69]

The web site is not like the experience

about 1,000 plus long guns you can touch without asking anyone.
The Milsurp stuff is pretty much gone here as it is everywhere
Great used selection price matching full service archery shop great muzzle loader selection a Range.
Down side handguns have to be sent to an IN FFL us locals have a guy who comes over twice a week and picks them up then charges $10 for the service.
You are missing out if you don’t come down and see it.

 

[Dirtebiker]

Elmores locks up SOME OF their guns.

Fixed it.
