    Can’t beat SFRC just up Hwy 38. Great new store.

    I think that most stores require an RPAL to handle as policy, but why not go and visit...
    Are you saying I'm a "gun nut"? I prefer the term "Firearms Enthusiast"...

    Its a real crap shoot. Some stores have great staff happy to chat and others have narrow minded know-it-alls that just want to lecture.
    If your in Ottawa, check out Sports Action. Silvana was a great help to me while I was anxiously watching the mailbox. She's forgotten more about guns than I'll ever know...
    I like to think I know enough to know when I don’t know enough….

    Try Perkin's Gun Shop, Pembroke. Ask for Mike. Don't waste your time @ Valley Guns in Petawawa. He will give you a hard time even if you have the R-Pal unless your one of his military buddies..................He doesn't seem to care for the "locals".

    Thanks! I've been perusing their website for awhile now and was thinking about heading over there next week on my day off.

    Thank you, I will check her out next time I'm up that way.

    Dammit, that didn't come out right... I meant I'll check out the STORE.

    Kingston?

    Put yourself on the waiting list ASAP if you can for the 2 ranges in the area... They are apparently long to get into!

    And welcome!

    You can join the base gun club at CFB Kingston if you’re ex military. There are waiting lists at the other local ranges.

    Stop out at the shop and say hi...you might even see a motorcycle perched up high on display.

    We have people waiting for their PAL or PAL course come in all the time. It does get crazy in store on Saturdays and Friday afternoons and that can effect how much one on one time we can spend with everyone.
