NO MORE BLACK POWDER AT ANGLERS!

[WeaponsCollector]

Went into Angler's in Annapolis today to buy some Goex black powder.
They told me "Nobody purchased any black powder for months so when the time came to renew our permit we decided not to!"
I purchased some black powder there just a few months ago. I must have been the only one for crying out loud! Now I and everyone else in the area have no place to go for real black powder. I'm sure the gun grabbers are happy. Shame on us all and shame on Angler's! I will never go there again for anything.

Can you blame them, if you were literally their only customer for it?

I can't be the only one in Maryland that shoots black powder guns. We had a great source for real Goex black powder, but not anymore. Now I have no idea where I can go to get real black powder without driving for hours and that just plain sucks.

Why will you not go there again? If their market for black powder has dwindled to the point of no profit in it, why should they devote shelf space to it? or pay the fee for the permit? (oh yeah - there is always a fee). I'm sure that you will find a source for quality black powder somewhere. Don't blame Anglers, they are doing what they have to do to stay in business.

They still have substitutes but that stuff just doesn't work for me.
If I knew they didn't sell any of the real stuff to anyone but me I would have gone there a lot more often and purchased a lot more. Cannons can eat a lot of powder. Oh well guess it's too late now.

I believe BassPro still sells GOEX.

Not that far of a drive from Anglers.

Especially if you really want it.

How much powder do you want to buy?

Thanks for the info, never been to Bass Pro but now I have a good excuse to go.

How much powder do you want to buy?

A can of FFg and a can of FFFg. Want to test out a new "thunder mug" and flintlock shotgun I got recently.

I just bought some Goex FFg in January from them. I must have gotten one of the last few they had.

Great, so they lied to me because I purchased some at around the same time. And isn't black powder largely a seasonal item that sells more when black powder hunting season comes around? I think it's a bad business decision for them to stop selling it just because sales can be slow during certain times of the year.

Wish I'd known they sold it...

Most gun stores don't sell real black. If you avoid Anglers over that , you'll have to avoid a whole lotta stores.

Anglers charged $100+ for handgun transfers because "we don't want to do it". They quit carrying handguns because " we don't want the hassle". There's not much in that store I need anymore...unless I'm looking for some overpriced Under Armour or Baretta clothing.
I live a few miles from Anglers but shop at Clydes.

The Gun Shop in Essex carries goex. About 45 minutes up the road from Anglers.

...and when they are just about to go under, they'll ask themselves "why doesn't anyone come here anymore?"

There is a thing call synergy.

I know a small gas station/convenience store owner that stopped selling milk. He lost a lot of business, because people chose to stop at other nearby places. The milk wasn't a big profit center for him, but not having it drove customers to stop at other places, instead. And people who stopped in for milk were probably picking up a few other things, while they were there.

Another reason for an MDS co-op.

If I recall correctly, They also sold all their smokeless stuff awhile back....reduced the price to clear it out.....have not been in there for months......don't know if they re-stocked or not..but my guess is they are trying to reduce their Firearm stock completely...
It is a big hassle for them I guess.......

Can't fault a store if they drop a product that doesn't pay its keep for space on the shelf.

If you were browsing shelves, you'd never know they carried it. They kept it in back. You had to ask the right person.

Few things are worth keeping in inventory if you neglect to let people know you have it.

It was still there last month but they did stop selling BP revolvers.
