Never judge a book by it's cover or a potential client by appearances. I think some of this "attitude" is fostered by the gunning community themselves. Look at the adds in DGJ, Shooting Sportsman for the hunting opportunities. Orvis Endorsed, Beretta Trident endorsed ect. A Quail hunt is $1200 per day plus taxes and tips and gormet food. I would love to do a Plantation style Quail hunt but I don't need to eat artsy fartsy food just give me good birds and some fried chicken, a burger fries and a cold beer or Old #7 and I'm good.
I was once told many years ago by the owner of a upscale retail store that a double gun should have two triggers and if I couldn't shoot two triggers than I should just use an 870
When we would go north I always made a point to stop in and look over the guns, I even had put a couple of Repo's on consignment there. I always bought something be it shells, a book ect. the owner would call me single trigger and never gave me any respect. I went in once for the specific purpose of buying an AYA #1 20ga (single trigger) I had seen and he (the owner) was to busy BSing with someone else. I waited about 10min and my presence was never acknowledged so I left and haven't been back.
