no one give a flying f*** what his deal is or was - its a business. happy customer = sale = profit = happy life. bought my first gun at epps too and use to drive at least twice a year from toronto to just go see the store and try stuff before buying but cuz of stuff like this, never bother anymore.
some canadian retailers get away with murder cuz of the fanboys and the perception that they are there to do us, the customers a favour. heres a clue, if they wont, someone else will. and this idea that they are enduring some hardship for the community is complete BS, get over it already.
