I wonder how this conversation would have played out if everyone wasnt hiding behind a keyboard lol
I envision it would had gone differently. Gotta Agree with sewktbk that John would not had responded the same way in retail environment.
Anyone that thinks that everyone else has the same state of mind as they do needs to have their head checked.
I personally have a slightly abrasive personality and find it amusing that anyone would get offended at something someone else says.
It's not about him trying to offend, it's ppl taking it too seriously. I know lots of guys that seem to be having a bad day for their whole life and if you want to think it's because of you, good luck with that.
So what you're saying is we shouldn't take what the retailer says seriously? I'll remember that the next time I'm in his store, clearly the tag that says $399 isn't serious and really it just meant FREE!
Be it verbal or text conversation for the relay of information where business is CONCERNED all information should be treated as serious. Granted there are far more tire kickers on the interwebz than in any retail location, but treating the wrong customer as a simple kicker can lead to massive loss of business.
Meh, who gives a ####. John has done a lot for firearm owners in Canada. I would buy from him even if he told me to #### off face to face.
So Firemen get to burn down your house cause they saved the neighbors cat from a tree?
Paramedics get to piss in your food cause they CPR'd the drunk driver back into perfect health... sorry about your kid though.
Police get to shoot up a couple hippies because... actually ##### the hippies.
The point is, no one ever remembers you for the good you do if you #### up your visual rep.
Clinton waged and won a war with out going into debt and instead managed to build the economy, instead we just remember that he shot a load on some ugly secretaries blouse and did NOT inhale.
Kennedy stood strong against the Ruskies, but all we remember his an infamous conspiracy on exactly how he caught a bullet and that he got to bang Monroe when she was still something to look at.
Presley served in the Navy, fought the war and did massive fundraiser drives for all sorts of social problems; all we remember is the fat ##### in white leather changing the channel with a revolver and then ODing on burgers and shakes.
If you want to continue doing business with John, great. But no matter what good deeds you've done; its not a free ticket to sh*t on other people. I mean Hitler DID give the Germans health care, I guess that covered the first million in his ovens right?
/end rant
9mmGuy, have you tried talking to others about the PUMA PPS? It seems to be the one that shipped in a tactical stock; looks like a magpul CRT on it too. Didn't find too much yet on google, but that seems to be the direction to look thus far.
You reap what you sow , as the saying goes . The energy or attitude you give to the world , will be ( more or less ) the same energy you get back . And that is my hippy/zen moment for today lol
