What are your firearms related pet peeve’s?

I think I said that first...

I guess so. Haha. Well done stipple is one thing but the stuff I see in the classifieds is a disaster.

Haggle sounds awful close to haggis...
Personally , don't care for either.

However...
I do know from years of firearm trading and selling...Haggling is a time honored tradition...and one to be expected in most cases.
As for me...
I can either buy it at the offered price or I can't...
If asked why I ain't buying the item...I will be honest with my : I like it...but can't afford it answer.
Or...if it is a case of an overpriced item...
I may , depending on the situation say something about that , politely.

In a direct message of course. Cause rules state we can't question pricing in the ad itself….

Yep for sure a PM in the case of NWFA....that is always a wise choice.

I was mostly talking about at gun shows and the like...
However...even then I rarely say something about a item's price.
Just me and how I do things...not that anyone needs to do likewise....

Grew up with local flea markets and vendor sales. Prices are always negotiable, same for when I'm a vendor at gun shows. I also expect some flexibility in prices tagged at other vendors and ask. Sometimes as simple as "firm price?", or "do you take offers?"

Very fair. I'm not so subtle at times. I have no issue (if they ask) telling someone their price is pathetic. As long as I have the facts/sources to show that I can source it elsewhere at a drastically lesser price point.

That last bit is key...and a excellent reason for both the buyer and seller to do their research / homework before listing a item or going to a gun show , etc...

The price is firm I want $25 not negotiable, would you take $26? So you ARE open to negotiation...

Just testing the water. So is it for sale or not?

It's trigger press. OK so why do we use trigger pull gauges to measure for trigger pull?

A brand new gun that doesnt work.

.....and shipping it under warranty twice, for the same reason.

...and from a high end manufacturer.

Talking 'bout SIG, aint cha?!

'Clip' unless you are referring to a enbloc clip or a stripper clip it's probably a magazine.

My best friend is a cop in Idaho. He just recently quit due to the politics and what they were asking their officers to do/not do.

It's already turning. I don't think it has 10 years.

I read the political climate of Idaho differently. On the state level, I expect it to remain the most conservative state in the west. Larger cities like Boise being more liberal.
The biggest concern most Idaho politicians have is being primaried by another politician farther to the right.
