Bought H004 But one store would not sell it to me.

Congrats on the new Henry.

As for "big box" stores, I won't ever say never, but my one experience a few years ago with buying a gun at a big chain store was less than fun. Their policy made me feel like a criminal. I picked out my gun, got an ok from the background check, and then had to wait for a manager to come to the gun counter. He then carried my gun to the register, watched me pay for it, and then had me follow him to the doors, where I was then "allowed" to leave with my new gun.

What a joke, and what an insult. I realize this is standard policy at those kind of stores, but I have never again bought from one of them.

I've had bad service from Dick's Sporting Goods before and haven't been back in a year.

If they are an authorized Henry dealer, can you not let HRA know about the crappy service? I think I read somewhere they want to know if you have troubles getting what you want.

Good idea. Use our handy link to the Henry site while you are at it.

Congrats on your new firearm!

I am sorry that you had to go through all of this but you should consider getting your DL updated with your middle initial even if ALL of your other important papers are up to date and properly written. I would update it even if it is not DUE to be renewed (Day/Month/Year) and have your complete name with your middle initial MATCH on all of your important documents and ID 'cards'.

I am not just talking about buying guns but for any other important transactions in your life. Financial, medical, property, vehicle, life insurances, etc.

Homeland Security and big brother seem to want more from honest, American citizens and honest, LEGAL immigrants than they do with some other folks. I will leave it there.

Good shooting to you!

Cate

Congrats on the new Henry, but sorry you had the hassle.

Your story is why I have not bought anything gun related at Dicks, Gander Mountain, Bass Pro, Cabelas, Academy, etc. in years. I give my business to two or three locally owned gun stores. Chances are one of them has what I need and if they don't they are glad to order it for me. I would rather spend my money with people I know who act like they are happy to do business with me than to deal with the bad attitudes in those places. I know I may end up spending a little more, but customer service does have a value to me.
