Shooters edge Calgary, displays poor ethics

They have made it so that only full members and unlicensed guests with an RO can use the rifle range on the weekends. This is because full members pay $600 for a membership and have come on a weekend where it's all full with morons with their SKS dumping rounds downrange with their bros. I would be pissed off too. I think it's a good idea, keep the loyal full members happy first.

You spend $80 a year for a membership mostly to own Restricted guns, which is a nice option they provide instead of the full $600. What? You want a private reserved bay and bathroom stall too?

Agree 100%
 
Oi. Another TSE bashing thread.

Called this morning to see if the range was busy, was informed that associate members are no longer allowed to use the rifle range on weekends. No notification at all that they were changing the terms of use that were in place when I bought my membership. I bought the associate membership to see how the range was managed before I purchased a full membership, guess I found out. Consumer beware!!

What exactly is the problem? It looks like you got precisely what you deserve, for dealing with jr.
The poor ethics are on you!
 
I understand the op side of things . He bought a membership with x amount of privileges and part way through the membership the privileges were cut. His membership should stay with the original privileges and when it runs out ,it’s his choice to bump to receive better options. It’s only good business to honour the original contract unless there is fine print in the contract he signed or on the back of the membership card
 
Lease a car on a contract for x amount of years and x amount of use.
Purchase a range membership for a year x amount of use.

One group changed a contact without the second one agreeing to the new conditions.
 
I completely boycotted this business after the Swiss Arms fiasco a few years back. No clue why anyone has anything to do with them.

I get your point, some kind of grandfathering, right? But don't forget, the OP was dealing with jr, therefore anything can happen and he got what he deserves. END of story.
 
It is irrelevant if TSE sent out the changes in an email or even called all of their associate members personally and informed them about the changes. Unless there is a clause in the associate membership contract giving TSE the ability to alter or change the contract, TSE is bound to honour the agreement the buyer signed. If TSE then changes the terms, they have breached the contract. Civil contract law is very clear, TSE would be liable for damages, which would be a prorated sum of the associate membership.

Telus tried to do the same to me a few years ago. I was getting paper statements included in my contract then one day they simply started charging me a $2 paper statement fee claiming they were going green. My call to customer service was simple, “my contract includes paper statements, this new fee is a breach of my contract, are you now prepared to release me from my contract?” Needless to say the $2 fee and credit for ones charged was immediately implemented until my contract expired.

Nicely done. Good analysis of contract law.
 
While what happened with TSE is unfortunate, I don't know how much more punishment is needed. I have been treated well at both TSE and CSC. When is enough retribution enough???? We lose enough firearms shops every year, and forcing one to close is a step backwards IMHO.
