I just happened to see this store in round rock. Wasn't sure if it's open yet or not. Anybody been there or know if it has opened yet?

They will never get a dime of my money. They are the first to cash in on a tragedy. Some call it capitalism, but that's debatable.

I agree with the previous statements; even before the craze they were one of the highest places to buy anything!

They need to change their name. They have a store here in McKinney, but I personally will not do business with them.

I hadn't heard CTD mentioned around here in a while. They can sit and spin.

They exist for golfers and fishermen that decide to buy firearms and ammunition on a whim. They are not there for real hunters and shooters that have the knowledge to call  on their products and their pricing of said products.

That's near me... last I checked, I think it was slated for October? Didn't really notice their pricing, during the panic. But I heard they were gouging. All things being equal, I'd rather support a vendor who didn't gouge. Having said that, since they're setting up so close to me, I'm sure I'll browse their stuff. If it's reasonably-priced, I may even buy something. Was in a LGS this weekend in Hill Country, and about to buy a near $1,000 piece of glass that I'd been lusting for. I was on the fence as it was such a big chink of change, and I had a few other priorities. As I was mulling it over, and the shopkeeper was dropping the price, I asked "how much for that brick of Remington 22?" He said "$80", which pretty much gave me pause. 22 has been easier to find, and I had just bought one of those same bricks for $21.99 at Academy, a couple days ago. I thanked him, and walked out without the scope. Sort of how I feel about these gougers. I'll try to stay away from them, but with Cheaper than Dirt setting up so close to me, I know I'll look. But I won't likely buy anything, unless they drop the price insanely low. On the other hand, I'll pay a significant bump to buy from a local gun shop who priced fairly during the panic, and does so now. I realize that small shops can't compete with behemoths, and support them for what they do. So I'm OK with paying a 5-10% bump, to keep them around. And, to be honest, if they have some powders than have been impossible to find... heck, they may just gouge me a bit. "Power to the people" and all, but some powders have been a bear to find. Still, I'd rather buy it elsewhere. I just happened to see this store in round rock. Wasn't sure if it's open yet or not. Anybody been there or know if it has opened yet?

They ain't worth killin. And that's pretty low. They had a an add on slickguns.com a couple of weeks ago and if I remember correct (but could be wrong on the price. Either way it was astronomical. ) for 3000 rounds of 22lr for 999.00.
I want it to party in my mouth.

I'd love to say I'll stay away, on principal... But I have trouble resisting places that have lots of guns and are minutes from my house. I'll probably browse there, a lot... but I won't buy anything that isn't actually dirt cheap. I'd rather spend more, at an LGS that's alway priced fairly. But all bets are off if they have a powder that I need.... in that case, I may buy a pound, or several. Really, powders are still the weak link around here. Components aren't as hard to find, heck even Academy is carrying them. But some powders are still tough to find. I'm sure I'll browse their stuff. If it's reasonably-priced, I may even buy something. I'll try to stay away from them, but with Cheaper than Dirt setting up so close to me, I know I'll look. But I won't likely buy anything, unless they drop the price insanely low.

I've had them 8 miles away in McKinney since they built there. Been in twice prior to the price gouging; never since. Find other sources of supplies if you want to stand on principle.

I no longer shop at any of the stores that participated in the price gouging on guns and ammo which includes a lot of locally owned gun stores here in Tucson. They would send their employees to big stores, buy up all the ammo, and then resale it at 2-300% mark up or more. If they want to mark up their ammo, fine, it is a free country, but when they hord all the ammo on the market and then mark it up, that pizzes me off!

Glad to see everyone else here feels the same way I do. When the craze was in full swing, there were several threads on here where I was called out for being anti-free enterprise for saying exactly what others have stated here. Funny how things change.  I personally got burned by CTD in the beginning of the original craziness back in '08. It may sound like sour grapes but I was glad to see the store in Fort Worth close down. Apparently they've opened up another store called "Fort Worth Gun" off of Eastchase Parkway. From what I hear it's smaller but they still have crack-smokingly high pricing on most of their stuff. I won't go there either.

They are down the road from me. I make it a point to browse for something in there to get a feel for it in my hands and then order elsewhere. In 2011/2012 I'd spent a few thousand in there [pistols and receivers]. Now? Never again.

For me it wasn't the "price gouging" that pizzed me off.......it was that they didn't honor the prices on their website after my order was placed. And no the prices were not misprints either. They just decided they could get more for the items by canceling my order and selling them for a higher price when the panic set in.
