Dave's Gun Shop in Lafayette

[jguilletjr]

I went by Dave's Saturday and they were closed. Did they shut it down?

They are closed on the weekend. It's been that way since 2006.

Someone told me a few really good things about this place the other day at a bbq. I told them my only experience was beyond awful and I hadn't been back. Being closed on weekends doesn't help. It's probably the single worst business decision you can make if you run a retail establishment.

I shop at Daves and there are some good deals on guns. They are open till 6 on weekdays if that helps any.

i'd argue that most people with disposable income to buy guns work til 5 and shop on weekends.

No argument here. I'm sure it costs them alot of business, but you can go in there in the middle of the day and its busy.

This leaves us with so many unanswered questions...
Did you ever leave? Are you still in there?
Is it like the roach motel???

Well I had money in my pocket and wanted to buy a gun. I got it somewhere else. I would rather do business with Daves but it was locked up and there was nothing posted with their business hours. Maybe next time.

It wasn't a 1911, it was a Glock. Customer and employee were friends and customer was meeting up with said employee after hours to possibly buy Glock. Empolyee had AD in the parking lot and round went into customer's chest. Needless to say, customer and employee are no longer friends and the Glock didn't get sold that day!

ETA: And since I'm sure somebody will ask "how did this person get shot in the chest if it was an accident"... Right handed shooter with chambered round. He unholsters the gun and tries to unload with barrel pointed to his left, parallel to the ground. Customer/friend walks around the back of the truck and ends up standing to the employee's left and at that moment...BANG! Customer lived, the shot didn't hit vital organs.

I personally know both parties. Pretty accurate.
