Not even green matters here...
I stopped in to buy a handgun. I was of course, the only black person in the store. No big deal... Surprisingly, I was greeted and helped promptly (hence the one star). Despite that, I felt that no one "genuinely" wanted to sell me a gun, so I quickly found myself battling EVERY excuse. "You need a car registration and DL (ID) that has your current address on it." I am no gun purchasing expert, but I do know there are several ways to prove your address, BESIDES a car registration and DL. Furthermore, people move... Case and point with us... We moved recently, and as I was trying to explain my unique situation to the salesmen, he cut me off, and proceeded to "mansplain" every thing like I don't know MY life... What he failed to hear was that my wife and I didn't want to permanently change our personal secure documents (ID cards, etc..) addresses until we purchase our home, which we are in the process of doing. Our current lease is so short, that all we did was update the USPS of a temporary address change for a set duration of time. All my mail, my car, EVERYTHING is TEMPORARILY registered to my current address. However, that will not reflect on any documentation as it is not a permanent address change. According to the salesman, I just needed to "print of my proof of address change from USPS." How do you print a document that was never filled out? I completed my address change at the postoffice in person... After having to explain that, I found myself still struggling with this matter. In an effort to resolve it, I asked "what documentation would be suffice to prove I live at my house?" I was told any VA/GOV. issued documents would be efficient. That said, I immediately run home to gather the requested documentation, and seeing that I was in a race against the clock, and CO traffic from AURORA to LAKEWOOD, I realized I wouldn't make it back by closing. I called to let the staff know I could either email the documents over, or swing back by first thing in the morning to complete the process. During that phone call, I found out my completed CBI application was ALREADY shredded, instead of stored in a PPI / HIPPA approved document locker to be completed (I'm pretty sure as soon as I walked out of the door it was tossed). Whomever answered the phone acted like "he had no clue what I was talking about in regards to the CBI document, what it is called, or who I was." How sway, when I called literally 30 minutes after I had just left? How don't you know the name of the document you MUST have all customers fill out before a purchase? If y'all don't like Black people... just say that... IDK why this is such a headache.. I should've read the reviews before going in and wasting my time. Seems like I am not the first/only one they gave the 'run-around' to. read more
