I'm all about supporting local moms and pops stores. In todays day and age internet became so convinient that we forget to help out little guys. My local shop has all the gear I need with prices lower than major chains but conversation like the one I had about ACR just proves my old point and that is to know my stuff when I go in there. I've been buying equipment there since 1998 and will for as long as they are open but I just need to be an educated customer.
