Only bought a few items over the years, but always treated well and enjoy talking with the staff. The negative people who complain, usually have a history of impatience or exude an air of hostility if they don't get a fair amount of "sucking up". Sorry for them, they're missing a great experience.

I walk in and the guy asked what I was looking for, I said I was just looking. He stuck his hand out to shake and I said "I done shaking hands for the rest of my life- Covid you know, don't be offended, nothing personal" He acted offended. Covid is STILL VERY REAL! And touching strangers unnecessarily IS STUPID!!! I was the only customer in here. I looked around the very tiny shop and saw a few Turkish shotguns, some cheap handguns and some OVERPRICED Glocks. I bought a Glock 19 Gen 5 for $500 at Britton's last year, and this guy was asking $679.00 !!! Most of his ammo was overpriced, same with mags. The guy (owner I'm guessing) stared at me the entire 5 minutes I was in the store and I left without buying anything. There are too many GOOD gun shops around Tampa Bay to waste time in a crappy place like this.

The owner is rude and disrespectful to me. Already bought one gun from him, coming in a month…read morelater to buy another. Even though there was just him and I in the store, he totally ignored me. I said hi when I came in and he said hi back. Waited while he tinkered behind the counter. I figured 15 minute wait was enough and I left. Read the other reviews, I am not the only one having a problem with this rude individual. Apparently the more money you're willing to spend with this jerk the more disdain he has for you. Well, let's make him real happy and not frequent his establishment at all! You want to buy guns and equipment I recommend Coles, Take Aim Guns and Safes, Shoot Straight, Castle Keep, Fire Arms Fred...ANYWHERE else is preferable to dealing with rude Paul at Arms for defense.

Jeff Morelock from MyWeaponsPermit.com is a great teacher for Concealed Carry. Not only is his…read moreclass easy to understand, he mixes a bit of humor and real world circumstances in to give a very well rounded class. I came here because of a Groupon deal and was very impressed by how informative the class was. While I have been a shooter for over 20 years, I hadn't had a concealed carry permit in a few years and I had forgotten some of the important caveats like how to interact with police if you ever have to draw your firearm in defense as well as the proper method for informing a potential threat that you intend to use deadly force. In addition, Mr. Morelock made the paperwork needed to file with the state easy to understand. From the time I took the class to the time I had my permit was only about 7 weeks. I can't thank MyWeaponsPermit.com enough for being a talented, competent and thorough instructor.

Pinellas Gun Shop is the physical business associated with MyWeaponsPermit.com and…read moreBuyYourGunOnline.com. Jeff Morelock, the proprietor, is a former police officer with many years of experience, and he and his staff offer concealed carry permit training, weapons and self-defense training (including some Krav Maga). Jeff has trained over 2000 students for concealed carry permits Their CCW permit class is very good. I've received training in multiple states, and always appreciate when instructors have LE experience. I believe they provide an insight into the wide range of practical/legal self defense issues, and often provide real-life examples they have experienced to shed light on the subject. As their firearm sales are online-oriented, they do not focus on having physical inventory. But shopping their website, and more specifically signing up for their email list, their prices are fair and service is good. The email list will also keep you up to date on advanced training opportunities that Jeff and his associates offer. I highly recommended Jeff's training for anyone interested in all aspects of self defense.

That was really good but we had an issue with some of the magazines I ordered being the wrong type. The owner went ahead and took care of the situation by ordering the correct mags and keeping the wrong type. The situation was resolved in the best way for me, no hassle. Cut to 8 months later. The red dot that came with the pistol stopped working. I went back to Castle Keep and they handled the warranty claim for me. You may save a nickel or two by ordering online but the customer support I have received from this company truly makes buying local much more valuable. Just the fact that I did not have to pay shipping to and from for a warranty repair makes me happy.

I was a loyal customer when Rich owned the store. I bought and traded many guns with him. I went to…read morethe store this morning to check out the new owners. I was a few minutes early so I sat in the parking lot. At 10:00 another car pulled up and an elderly gentleman got out and and went to the door. he knocked on the door but no one answered. He got back in his car and waited a couple of minutes and tried again. Still no one there. He left. So did I. When a business advertises open at a certain time I expect them to be there. This was a big inconvenience for me. Not a good way to do business. Tony V
