SKS's back on the shelves at CTire
- Thread starter Philthy1
- Start date
CTC gets a lot of their firearms and product from North Sylva, a sponsor ,plus other canadian suppliers, I do wish they would become a sponsor themselves but the local manager said it had to be corporate policy. I have bought SKS from the Freddy store but not locally as he does write down the info, I told him I would not for that reason! He claims it is only for returns but I cannot see that as you have a receipt! Ammo they do not.

Jilted? lol that's funny, I just choose wisely who I support with my hard earned dollars. Never been jilted by Cambodian tire as I never buy firearms or ammo from them, simple as that. They do nothing for the firearms community except try and cash in on it, pity you can't see that...
Oh Oh, look out. Angry gun owners on the loose 
Man, some of you guys need to chill a bit. I personally don't plan on buying an SKS or any other firearm from Canadian Tire, but I started the thread because I thought it was interesting and important. If larger corporate entities want to be involved in the firearm business, its probably better for all of us in the long run. Also there are plenty of people who don't have access to any other dealers, unless they want to do mail orders.

My CT recently started selling long guns and has a better selection of guns than my lgs does on average 20% cheaper, I see no reason I should pay a premium to support a business that charges extra just because it was, until recently, the only gun store in town.
I say buy from whomever you like...Mom and Pop outfit or big box store - if they have what I want for what I'm willing to pay, I will give them my business. If they treat me well, they will keep it. The more choices, the better.
On the shelves here in Niagara Falls for 2 weeks or so, haven't been in St. Kitts or Welland too see if it's the same case.

The best thing about Canadian Tire selling firearms is that it put guns back out into the view of the mainstream public , and makes firearm ownership more accepted in Canadian society......it must drive the anti-gun folks crazy....the more exposure that the Canadian public has to firearms , the better....
^^ I'll drink to that!
Why " Cambodian " Tire, why not just call it " Crappy " Tire, why use a racial slur ? If we are to be a community of firearms owners and to seen a well respected, law abiding citizens who enjoy this hobby or sport. Are we promoting that its for a select few or for all ? coz just using that term even if it's to describe Canadian Tire just alienated Asian members and probably deterred potential new owners and members to CGN, and to the cause, that we are well respected law abiding citizens who welcomes all. Sorry guys I know this an SKS thread but couldn't help it.
Didn't see any on the shelves in Welland on Tuesday this past week...
the connotation is that China = cheap. which is a greatly unfair generalization, and is no different than a gypsy being a cheat or a Jew being cheap. It is discrimination to identify an issue by stating a nationality or religion and lumping all persons together.
By calling it ChinaTire or CambodianTire, you suggest that it is cheap because your view of China or Cambodia is cheap.
