Iron City Armory Owner Arrested - Goodbye FFL

[Emptymag]

Many pages ago, a poster appeared for the first time to defend Jason and Iron City Armory. This is my first post, to relate my experience from yesterday.

Not knowing of this forum, or anything about the reputation of this range and its owner, I bought a $200 membership about 6 months ago. The facility is just "ok", not anywhere near, of course to the palace-like quality of the new facility in Mars, and also a clear downgrade from A&S where I've belonged for years but, man, that's a far drive for me. Bridgeville is much, much, closer.

So yesterday I show up to shoot, and I'm asked what ammo I'd like to buy. Huh? Buy? Since when?? The original deal when I signed up with Jason was $200 up front, $20/mo for unlimited shooting, I can bring my own ammo and targets.

Not anymore. The deal's been changed. Now I MUST buy their ammo. I complain directly to Jason, and he flew off the handle (BTW, never mentioning anything about insurance issues), screaming that club members aren't "giving back" enough to the club. And, if I didn't like it, then he doesn't want me in the club, and "get the hell out of my store".

I'm a lawyer. I know what to do now. But I wasn't smart enough to research this guy before plunking down $200.

Guess some things never change.

I dunno... seems like his customer service skills are improving a little.

He has changed the deal, pray he doesn't change it further.

Go get him!

You are lucky he didn't shoot at you like he did his former father-in-law.

With the state of mind he was apparently in, I thought it best to just leave without making any more of a stink of the situation.

Holy balls ...200$ a year and 20 a month? and wants you to buy his ammo. Thats hi-way robbery. The local indoor range here is 100$ a year for unlimited shooting. I think you do have to use their ammo on their rental guns....but cant blame them on that.

But does your club owner hurl vulgar insults at you?
I can understand charging a premium for that.

Is this a club or a business? I'm confused. I think the owner/club president is too.
