Alrighty then for no other reason but my selfish spoiled brat self do I want to have a hissy fit to which I will probably look back on in a few hours as to how pointless it was yet that time is not now sooooo.....Why on gods green earth do 3 major Airsoft retail stores have no need to open there doors before 12 noon really 12 ? half the friggin day is gone already, What's the matter stay up to late on your computer playing MMO games stay out to late partying to hung over to get up?...I don't know of any other business that carries these kind of hours. How are we supposed to support our local shops when they are not open ......yes Its probably just me pouting but online purchases are easier than ever ...just saying <<<I'll be back but only because there are no other alternatives to actually shouldering my next gun grrrrr. :evil:

Very good point, and closing at 6 is kind of annoying cause it interferes with dinner and other activities. If only they closed at 9ish. But if i guess its not gonna happen anytime soon.

100% agree napalm, not everyone works the 9-5 where they can go after work, so need to go before work.

Good point.
I too have notice late opening times of a few local shops. I try to support local shops as best as I can when I need supplies or new guns ( I don't need anymore damn it!) but having to wait all bloody morning for them to open when my time isn't unlimited, kind of makes me want to shop online which is open 24-7, in theory. I sure they have their reasons.

I'm open before noon every day...

To be fair, we offset our hours and are open until 7, which generally accommodates those working 9-5. You don't get too many people coming in at 9am for what I sell.
