Had a good experience with a gun shop or rifle maker? Found a good deal? Tell us about it. Had a bad experience, TELL THE GUN SHOP!

Forum rules
Posting of negative comments in the Gunshop section could bring unwanted criticism on the forum, having said that it is important to let members know if dealings with a Gunshop were less than ideal for you. To that end we will allow what will be known as the 'Scotsgun Ruling'

The Scotsgun Ruling:

>Add Gun Shop here<

"As I've yet to have a 'positive' experience there, I'll refrain from commenting further."

Beyond that please take it up with the Gunshop, if you do resolve the issue in a agreeable manner let us know!

This rule applies to the entire forum.

NSRA Shop passing shooter details to USA

#1 Post by Mezzer »

I was looking to purchase some target patches this morning (having used up the last of them at Altcar yesterday).
The NSRA shop had them in stock so I duly went through the process of shoving them into my online basket then proceeding to the checkout.
I'd put my details in as normal then noticed the following statement at the bottom of the page (which appeared to be a mandatory requirement if I wanted to continue with the transaction).

* BY CONTINUING, I AGREE THAT MY INFORMATION WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO THE UNITED STATES*

Now .... a simple question! WTF is THAT all about?
Since WHEN did the UK NSRA become an information collecting agency for the US Government?

I'm not so daft to think that in this post-Snowden era, the Feds don't already have more than enough information about me as it is but for the UK NSRA to be doing this so blatently is for me ..... a damn cheek and totally out of order! ****

Needless to say, I'll be buying my patches elsewhere.

Might it just not be the case that the server where the data is stored is in the US, rather than them handing it over to 'big yankee brother'?

Its possible that the NRA's web site is hosted in the USA (as mine is!).

You don't need to worry until you hear the "whuuump whuuump whuuump" of the BlackHawk above the house!.

Or that eerie silence before that Hellfire hits Mezzer's roof ...
BTW somebody ought to explain to him that those "2nd amendment-Obama-from-my-dead-body" targets do carry a health warning in small prints for a good reason ... O:-)

Everyone seems to be harvesting data these days,Amazon,Google,Faceache etc.

I have recently endured an edoscopy(camera down the throat).
I was asked lots of irelevent questions on my forms all to help the private insurance companies up my premiums when the NHS gets completely sold or given to Dave and his Chums.

That's not the spams, it's just the local gypsies! :good:

I used to love driving my pickup round Morecambe as everyone assumed you were a gypo and left well alone.

The handling of on-line payments via debit or credit cards will be through a third party, usually the card provider not the merchant. Visa and Mastercard are American owned, your bank issues debit/credit cards on their behalf. Maybe if you are so worried about Americsn companies owning your data stop using your cards and using the internet.
