Yea it was a shitty situation, not much I could do I already had to wait 4 weeks and I just wanted my gun. My receipt didn't say shit so there's nothing I could do except pay. I run a business and I bend over backwards for my repeat customers, so after hearing everybodys responses I feel pretty disrespected. I dont think I will be going back there except for transfers since they are pretty convenient for me.

Convenience isn't a good justification for rewarding someone who may have taken advantage of you with your business. Other stores deserve your support more.

I used OGC because (1) they offered a veteran/military/LEO discount, (2) their FFL image is available online, (3) you can use their online system to notify them they will be receiving your transfer firearm/s, and (4) they work to earn my business. When they didn't contact me to pick up a firearm after a few days past delivery to the store, they waived the transfer fee completely.

They aren't the most convenient, but they earned my support by treating me like my business matters to them.]]> https://2ahawaii.com/index.php?action=post;topic=59624.0 Thu, 29 Oct 2026 11:06:13 GMT https://2ahawaii.com/index.php?topic=59624.msg517931#msg517931 Maui-ding dong ditch https://2ahawaii.com/index.php?topic=59637.msg517930#msg517930 https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2026/10/29/viral-door-kicking-trend-rattles-maui-lani-residents/

IF they didnt make it clear at POS, that's some BS. I would never buy from them again. They need you, not the other way round. That's why I stopped shopping locally, I felt like most, not all, shop employees have a chip on their shoulder, plus I could save f*cking $200. Which basically equated to 1000 rds of 9mm back in the day.

i was shocked to meet him the first time when he finished law school
he was walking the neighborhood trying to run for city council
so you're saying he never worked?
only ran for office?

Just arrived from my FFL Ruger Vaquero .45 Colt ... nice ...

Very pretty! 🤩

I really want that semi custom “brasshawk” from Tyler gun works. But sooo. $$$$
Wish they would take in customs. I would love to send in my original three screw in for work, or I should have sent it to Hamilton Bowen before he retired. ]]> https://2ahawaii.com/index.php?action=post;topic=6611.0 Wed, 28 Oct 2026 22:13:44 GMT https://2ahawaii.com/index.php?topic=6611.msg517917#msg517917 Re: Post your latest purchase https://2ahawaii.com/index.php?topic=6611.msg517916#msg517916
