Ammo can not be refunded, exchanged, or anything of the sort. It's a federal law, not a sour policy, federal. If atf caught wind of something of the sort, the store could be done for.

WOW talk about a high jacked thread.

There is no federal law prohibiting the returning of ammo to stores, but it is in many stores policies. Just because a sign in a store says its a federal law, does not make it one. Its a liability/insurance issue! If you think its a law, please find it and post it.

So I guess I got lied to on the ATF part.

But, do you really want to buy ammo from a store that accepts exchanges?

What if that ammo was tampered with, and you're letting your kiddo shoot the gun, and the bullet blows the gun up?

Or, what if people buy loose packs of .22 ammo. Say a 500 round brick, take out a few. If they keep doing it, they will eventually have a lot, and someone is getting the short end of the stick.

Sorry my info was off, but I wouldn't accept ammo if I had my own store either.

I wonder about a store that will not stand up to special interest and take down their decor, or anything.
They have started down a slippery slope of not standing up for what they believe in.
They are not competing with Academy, BS and Cabelas.
They may not be around long.

they're actually competing and doing well. Have you ever been into a gun world Gander?

The remodel Amarillo store is. Academy now doesn't have half the guns they have, they'd be lucky if they have a quarter. So, that is a lot more sales, and if it's like it used to be, they can order dang near any gun you want.

whats gander mtn going to do when someone walks in and says theyre offended by all the guns on display?

I honestly don't see how GM makes it. The store here in Corsicana is almost always empty. The times I have been to the Tyler location it is not much better. Drove by the one in Conroe on Black Friday weekend-looked like about 20-25 cars in the lot.

I will go without, before I go to Gander Mountain! The more I think about it, the more I want to see them close down...

What do you do with the flesh of deer or ducks or coyotes? Eat it? Make pillows and rugs? How is mounting itdisrespectful?? Never heard anyone, including anti hunters say this

I've had one dealing with GM, and I must say the guy was helpful....but I did go to Academy and saved $50 on a pistol.

I'm offended that they took the heads down!

Getting all riled up at a teenaged retail worker for following prompts on a register, wow, don't forget your blood pressure medicine today, heaven forbid the kid at the dry cleaners asks if you have any plans for the weekend. ...

Funny how everyone gets bent outa shape about an animal mount but the fish mounts don't ever catch any mess... yes i know they are replicas but most ARA people arnt going to know that. i think ours still has a few up... im hanging mine up in my office next week...

Yes I have been to Gander in San Antonio, several times, and haven't bought a thing. In my experience they are not competing at all. Any major item that I have priced at Academy was cheaper than Gander. But maybe that is just the things that are in my interest. True that Academy doesn't have the selection, but if they have it, you'll save a few bucks.
Back to topic, I hope they change their stance and not let the whining special interest few dictate what the majority wants.

Good grief, there sure are some anal folks running around. I shop at them all and look for prices and deals. Every type of store, big or little, chain or independent has a few employees that don't know, are rude, and/or lazy. Just the way it is.

I look out for myself and take the good with the bad.

That being said, I've had good and bad at Gander. I've found good deals there and bought. I've also found prices out of my slot so I didn't buy.

As far as the mounts, I'd prefer they didn't give in, but they have to stay in business and a lot of folks shop there for non hunting related merchandise so it's likely a thought out business decision. Unless we understand their bottom line goals/situation it's hard to say what is best, but it's best for them if they did it in their opinion.

Now if they start adhering to anti-gun rights nutz, I have a whole different opinion and will let my feeling be know at the GM corporate level. And with them taking down the mounts, they are on my radar.

In response to those that questioned my post. YOU WERE NOT THERE, she wasnt a teenager with no clue, and I really dont need you to comment on my need for blood pressure medication, as you dont know me and I think that kind of comment is inappropiate.

Having said that, I was not happy with their customer service, and I said, I have NEVER BEEN ASKED WHAT TYPE OF WEAPON IM USING THE AMMO FOR. In my opinion, as the original post was about them bowing to outside pressure, i feel the questioning at the counter was along those lines as well.

I apologize if it seemed I was part of hijacking the thread, it seemed along the same lines to me. Just giving my humble opinion.

Well, lucky for you, I set you straight bc your opinion was wrong. How do I know, I worked there.

This comment is to all the ones who can only badmouth stores. On the two occasions I asked Gander Mountain to match advertised prices they agreed, once with Cabelas and once with Bass Pro, saving me a 60 mile drive, which time and money is considerable. I bought a used Benelli Nova, and when I pointed out the regular Nova comes with three chokes they gave me two new chokes. They sold Blitz fuel cans for $2,00, tell me where you buy them cheaper. One lady THFer once commented how she was slighted by a sales person at Cabelas. None of you like Cheaper than Dirt. Talk about getting hung with a new rope.

Wow that was an arrogant statement. Correcting my opinion. Thanks for setting me straight.

You're welcome. It wasn't arrogant. You had an opinion, and you don't know the circumstances. I had a fact knowing the circumstances and whys.

Very high prices, but I still check there bcuz they sometimes have good deals. Its rare but worth stopping in to look.

I Can't Stand Gander Mountain...When you do find a deal its on backorder, I ordered a pair of boots in July, received email Oct 2..3days after Archery opener...they was still on BO, another time found a scope online, called Corsicanna store to make sure in stock before the 2 hr drive, and arrived to receive a raincheck....They would be doing the Hunters in America a big favor by closing the doors!! Taking The animals down in there stores is fine with me, Nobody there Shot them anyways!!

Cheaper Than Dirt doesn`t deserve us as customers. I don`t understand how a brand so popular like them can screw things so much till the point people write hundreds of web pages of bad reviews against them.

My Buddy's from Pleasanton purchased a 25-06 and scope and had them mount and boresight it yesterday Rings were loose, no loctite , scope not leveled. They just learned how to mount a scope last week and when this wouldn't hold zero called me. Almost never trust others to do correctly those things you can do yourself. Directions for most scopes and rings don't call for loctite but they did not consider riding in a Texas pickup truck year round.
