Calamity Jane's Firearms and Fine Shoes

BlackCrossCrusader

Purchased a very fine shotgun there today. I was impressed with their knowledge, service, and helpfulness when it came to choosing which firearm to purchase. I will be returning someday, and I cannot recommend this shop more.

I have been asked to put a mask on before but never to take it off. Called ahead to ensure they had a Benelli SBE3 and with luck they did! So I traveled to the store to take a look. I was in the store five minutes browsing guns when approached by an employee and was asked to take my mask off. When I said no, absolutely not, he asked me to leave. Online research shows that you need to either take your mask off once so the camera can identify you or when purchasing a gun - not for the duration of the visit. 1.) You turned masks into a political issue and by doing so put your employees and patrons at risk 2.) You lost out on a $2K sale 3.) You are violating a NY mask mandate Update: I went to another firearms store later in the day. They asked me to pull my mask down and look into the camera, stating I could pull it back up if I wanted to - proving that you are blatant anti-maskers. I was happy to give the other store my $2K.

Been here quite a few times over the last two months for ammo and have been looking for a new long range rifle. Their prices are insanely high in my opinion for both ammo and guns. I also have not had any good experiences with their customer service. Which is unfortunate as I do spend quite a bit of money on guns and ammo and always like to support a local business.

I was excited to hear about Calamity Jane’s in Hudson Falls, NY. Though over an hour drive away, I called the store and spoke to Jane, the owner, about a specific lever action rifle manufacturer. She was very informative and invited me to her store to review current inventory. We drove to the store that afternoon, and a puzzling sign was posted on the door indicating to NOT wear a mask when entering store. Well, I wear a mask as I believe it is the right thing to do. I entered the store with my mask in place. I had not taken three steps into the store and I was confronted by a male attendant who promptly addressed me saying, “Sir, please take off your mask”. I responded, “Do you mean I can’t shop in this store if I wear a mask”?. The attendant confirmed, “That’s right”. I turned around and left the store. While in the parking lot, I phoned the store, and asked to speak to Jane. The guy that told me to leave, said she was with a customer and I would have to wait. I asked if I could leave my number and have Jane call me. He said that would be fine, took my name and number, and would have Jane call me. Well, I didn’t get a call from Jane. I traveled over an hour to specifically get to the store, and the same back home. Every other firearm store I have entered during this extraordinary time, may not post any signs, or may not enforce a mask wearing policy, however ALL others have respected the position of the customer, and made me feel welcome. I share these comments in this review to advise potential customers to beware. If the ownership of such an establishment disrespects the fundamental personal beliefs of the customer, this behavior and position clearly transfers to all aspects of their business. Despite product lines, and inventory, this is just not right. During or after COVID, I will not to do business with Calamity Jane’s. I will also share my experience with friends and colleagues.
