Niece Valley guns bad experience

[Rockn93yj]

My niece went to Valley Guns in WV to see which handgun to buy since she could try them out there and buy, ship to FFL in MD. She got to hold 2 guns before it was discovered she was from Maryland and then they wanted nothing to do with her. They refused to deal with her and her FFL because she was from Maryland! Even though they are close we will not be supporting them ever again. Gonna have to send her on a trip to an industry partner. She is a lefty and was quite fond of the Ruger SR40c in black nitride #3479. If anyone has one in stock I'm sure she would be happy to make the trip from Brunswick MD.

Now begins anew the discussion on whether or not out-of-state FFLs should try to comply with the insane Maryland regulations

First mistake,going to valley guns,they bitch if you are from md and buy ammo from them.

I think it would just be easier if gun shops would just put up a sign that says ' no Marylanders allowed",then maybe the aclu would get involved.

I have always had a good experience whenever I went to valley guns II even though they knew I was from md. Although I haven't been there since the new laws.

the way the whole situation was handled really bothered me. She was looking at a S&W M&P 40C, 10 round pistol. while they were talking he discovered she was from MD and took the gun from her hands and said "I can't help you" and that WV is a free state and walked away. She did like the M&P and the SR40c she looked at. I'm sending her to Hafer's to make the transaction at one of our industry partners, their loss.

I think that's the best way to handle it. Money talks. If they make enough money off of their local buyers that they can blow off MD customers then good for them. If not then threads like this will eventually start to hurt them and they'll either change or go out of business.

Tim will take care of her. Great guys up there.

I've bought rifle and ammo from them before. Not only no problems , but very friendly.

Some of the people working there are dicks. I only talk to 3-4 out of like 10 people there if I need something.

Another plus for Hafer's. Tim was very helpful when my wife was looking for a .22.
