| #6 I love Tractor Supply stores. They're what Cheaderhead's 'Farm & Barn' stores used to be like back in the 60's/70's before all the 'Children's/Wimmen's Apparel', Home Decorating and furniture showed up. |

| #5 Gander Mt. opened a new store near me and had a pistol mag I can buy for $47-49 from a number of sources tagged at $75. I do buy wood chips for the smoker there, the prices seem acceptable on that. Carhartt stuff can be had at Tractor Supply or Rural King much cheaper, usually with a better selection. The gun counter guys at Rural King are actually friendly and helpful, too... |

| #4 Got my best boots at a closeout there. 5.11s, 75% off, bought 3 pair. Not much discount on weapons or ammo. |

| #3 Well, at least the local store isn't closing. Its there or the local "Farm & Barn" for Carhartt stuff. Although they have some knock-off lined jeans just as good as Carhartt's. Don't need any shooting supplies anymore, eyes are shot. |

| #1 Kroger, Publics, Home Depot, and Ace Hardware market essential goods. Gander Mountain, not so much. |
