    Trigger locks are illegal apparently......

    So went into ol H&S for a trigger lock... Mate, I may as well asked for a virgin to be sacrificed.... "THOSE ARE ILLEGAL! THEY AREN'T UP TO CODE!!!" Dude, it's so I can have it on when I go from place to place. when it's in a bag "IT NEEDS TO BE IN AN A-CAT SAFE AT ALL TIMES" Obviously not when I'm using it... Look, I just want a trigger lock, I know you guys sell them "THOSE ARE PROHIBITED AND USING THEM CAN LAND YOU IN JAIL" Alright mate... Ta ta..... Can we have a H&S gift card buy-back?

    Some h&f branches are scared of anything gun related at this time. Wonder what the next catalog will look like ?

    Who owns Hunting & Fishing? Or is it a franchise chain?

    They are a bit like the Dick's sporting goods guys in the US. To virtue signal. The guy wanted to act like he was teaching me (The problem stupid FAL holder) loud enough so everyone in the store could hear. At this point I'm not sure I'd buy anything from that store. But I'm not really the boycott type

    Is h&s suppose to be h&f as in Hunting and fishing? If so, I'm guessing you went to the Rotorua branch. ....? There is at least three other gun shops in Rotorua who didn't throw firearm owners under the bus.... Try one of them first.

    Yes, even before all of this, they were hunting and shitting. And I see hamils took all of their displays down, and I won't go to Serious Shooters. So I'll give the others a try.

    Thought the H&Fleesing support was out the door, some people have short memories.

    You can vote with your debit card as you see fit, but I won't spend another dollar of my hard earned salary at H&F.

    Google the Dunning-Kruger effect if you aren't already familiar with it, its probably the rule more than the exception.

    When the heat was on, I only heard David Tipple of GC standing up for the sport.
