I looked this shop up as my wife and I were traveling in the area. After looking up his operating…read morehours, I showed up at a time he was supposedly open. Long story short, a sign on door asked potential customers to text him and he'll decide if it's worth his effort to come down to the store. Unfortunately for me, he asked what I was looking for, and after I answered, he replied that he was not in town. Maybe if I was a bigger sale for him, he would have shown up to work??

Waste of time. Recommend Eagle Eye Firearms in Buellton. Nice guy runs it. I live in Santa Ynez so figured I'd try this out (love the name and the 2A) but looks like the bad reviews are correct. He isn't here to serve the 2A public whatsoever.

Of course, the department of justice clearance must be obtained for the purchase of the gun to be completed. I find that the prices are reasonable and I could ask any questions on the process, making it an ideal spot for first time gone purchasers. You can buy your ammo here as well and do the gun demonstration in person. There's a variety of options for consumers that are more experienced. There is a gun range in Santa Maria that you can use to practice be warned that they are free and so you must purchase that ammo for the practice from the gun club.

Not just the government that screws the gun owners of CA over. I've been going to the Outdoorsman…read morefor the past 15 years over that course of time where several owners have owned it. The current owner clearly wants to take advantage by charging $25 just to hand someone the ammo they ordered. Bad enough the government makes us ship ammo to the gun shop, but when the shop owner is just as bad as the government with its excess fees for just wanting to utilize a constitutional right afforded to us by the constitution. I'll never buy so much as a key chain from these crooks. Some dufus behind the counter had the nerve to say he didn't think they were taking advantage of the gun owners.

But by the end of the class, I felt very confident in shooting and handling my gun. Dave was my instructor and he was awesome! We also received some great knowledge from instructor Gene : ) I chose this class because I knew I wanted to get premium service. The class was small so there was a lot of personal attention. I did not only want to check the boxes for CCW requirements but also wanted to get some real-world training. I will definitely go back to Cobra Tactical for additional classes and to renew my CCW.
