That was both astonishingly stupid and hysterically funny. However, in fairness, some of the Cabela's Gun Libraries are run by extremely knowledgable gun guys and hunters. The company has suffered from their rapid expansion in recent years, and has had trouble building out an experienced staff to keep up with their new stores.

I know it's easy to bash the "Big Box," but I'll bet Cabela's has turned more Americans into gun owners, and has created more interest in old, collectible guns, than any other single vendor in the world. I believe that, as collectors and hunters, our hobbies would be in a lot more trouble without them on the scene. TT
