    I took five steps into the store and was greeted by staff. I had a long gun in a case and was asked…read morehow I can be helped. I was sending a rifle to a relative out-of-state. I was asked to go to the main counter where I of course allowed staff member to open the case and examine the arm for safety purposes/standard protocol anywhere. I explained what I wanted to do and found the staff member to professional yet very personable. I am relatively new to the area and so this was a welcomed contact. I had been quoted a price for the action over the phone prior to my visit and the price was the same. This is very good-to find a business with the integrity, know how and desire to help the costumer with their needs. There was a large amount of firearms, equipment, ammunition and other shooting needs available. I have found a new gun store I can do business with, no need to go anywhere else. Thanks Camarillo Gun Store. I'll be back.

    Went in for a repair on my rifle. Ruger would fix it for free. It seems it was delayed a few weeks…read morebecause they forgot to send it till I reminded them. I had to go back in twice because ruger replaced my reciever and it was being treated as a new gun. I signed paperwork that said $0 owed 3 times. I was told I'd have to pay $40 for shipping wich is fine. Than at the last minute as they're handing me my gun they let me know if can't leave with it without paying +$200 in California taxes. Keep in mind I was there 4 times amd they never once mentioned I'd have to pay that much to send it out and send it back. I could have had it repaired here for that price. I have all the paperwork to prove it. I understand the mistake, but I don't understand the lack of explanation and attempt to make it right. Disappointing. There's a lot to like about that store.

    I'm really happy I found this place. I recently needed a DROS done on a firearm being shipped in…read morefrom an online retailer. Had it sent to VC Armory. A lot of dealers these days arent keen on doing that these days. I called them, and they said no problem. They notified me less than an hour after I got the UPS notice that the package arrived at their location. I showed up just a short while later to start the process. Its a nice small shop in a quiet part of town. I really appreciated how chill the atmosphere was. I think it took all of 10 minutes to get the paperwork done, and off I went. 10 days wrapped, and I went for my pickup today. Again, the shop was super chill. Took less than 10 minutes to wrap everything up. Start to finish, the process was painless. Most gun shops are typically not places I'm super comfortable at. They tend to have semi aggressive staff, customers, or both. And they also tend to be very vocal about their political affiliations. VC Armory had none of those things. That alone is going to make them my go to LGS from here on out.

    I see a lot of good reviews. And I understand why. My issue was a technicality in their wrong…read moreinterpretation of the law. Here is the real problem I have with them. They do not understand all gun laws and there for make their customer jump through more legal hoops than need be. I don't expect every customer to know the laws so they are unaware VC is slightly incompetent. I even pointed out their error but they just raised their voices and yelled at me. In California , when buying a rifle, it is NOT necessary to show two forms of ID. If you have a California True ID (Golden Bear in corner with no restrictions) that is all you need. They insisted I needed more. Here's the law: Only if you have restrictions or are purchasing a hand gun or it's a PO box address etc... is a secondary ID proving address required). But they are so arrogant and elitist blow-hards they wouldn't even turn the page on the form that they used as their proof showing me. I said on the first page it states NO secondary ID required for rifles. But he refused to even look at the 1st page and read where it clearly states the secondary ID rule is ONLY for hand gun sales. So lazy. So every single rifle purchaser that had a California DL True ID with no restrictions and their address correct on the iD was and is made to show a secondary ID. Completely unnecessary so I asked them to send my "receiver(rifle) to their competitor down the street who is up on the law. And they're cheaper too (and very friendly with no attitude. VC waste their customer's time making them jump through hoops needlessly and are very argumentative when you show them the law. Shame. By the way...I had lost my registration for my car and was in the process of renewing my registration so I didn't have it as secondary proof handy and I wasn't going to stand in line at the DMV just to get a copy when they would send me my new one a couple weeks later. Nope. I rather deal with the competent FFL guys down the street. My history: Gun collector of 50 years with over 350 purchases over a lifetime. I was an FFL myself and I am very familiar with the laws. Most gun buyers will assume their FFL knows the laws. Fact: Not all ffl's understand things they read and need it explained to them. We're all human. But when they get arrogant, loud and insistent by refusing to acknowledge they misread their own DOJ documents in front of them....that's just a ignorance and incompetence. These are guys I would think should not be doing their own Taxes let alone filling out gun transfers.
