Canadian Tire selling reloading supplies

Mhmm I was happy to find somewhere local that had .223 dies in stock. It was a little painful trying to explain what they were, and why I didn't need to show my PAL, let alone record it. I did have to show my driver's license to prove I was over 18 though
before the sales person walked them to the checkout for me lol. O well, atleast they were in stock.
During a decades long dearth of service and support from "Big Box" stores for hunters and shooters in our area, we have seen the birth and expansion of a number of small businesses (Gun Shops) seeking to fill the niche. Now, after these entrepreneurs have struggled and succeeded, the "Big Boxes" have decided to show us some love. "Fvck Em" ! I'll not play their politically sensitive game of marketing coitus interruptus at the expense of those who took care of business in their absence.

Same in this area, I believe they just don't want to be bothered..
i'll see what happens, I emailed customer service to find out if I can order the product from CT. i'll keep everybody posted. I think it's BS that you can't even order the stuff, if they have it on website, it should be available period. I thinking about burning up my CT money on that.
I tried to have them bring in a few pounds of H110 and they told me it's a seasonal item and unavailable until next year.
That's when I stopped going to CT.
If they can't get you stuff in their catalog, they're not worth doing business with.

It's kind of a catch 22. For one thing, the gun stores are just not thought of by the non gun crowd. The non gun/non sportsman crowd does not go into most stores with guns. By having walmart, canadian tire, sears et al big box stores having large sections devoted to guns, it becomes more normal to people to see guns outside the movies. It might help destigmatise guns to many of them.
I also really do understand that there was a small industry that was created by the gun industry where and when the big box stores left gun owners high and dry. They supported us when everyone else wanted to plug their ears and go 'lalalalalalalalalalalala, can't hear you'.
But I think there's room for both. I also understand that it's a catch 22 for many people. Rather than arguing about it, support both, and get more friends, neighbours, etc., into shooting. Then there's room for both. The more people are exposed to it, the more normal it will be. We might be able to get to the point where we could carry a rifle for target shooting, or hunting on public transit without people or cops batting an eye and have the rifle rack in the back window of the pickup truck again...
Just a thought. And Wendy's worst nightmare... tehehehehe
