My local shop doesn't carry what I need so I'll shop on the internet.

My customers shop on the internet, so I'll stop carrying what they need.


This is the exact parallel to what happened with Wal-Mart. People stopped buying at their local shop because things were a little cheaper at WM. The local shops went out of business. Now WM has stopped carrying shooting stuff at any price. So who came out ahead? Not shooters. Not the local shop owners. Not even Wal-Mart.

Any lessons learned? I sure hope so.
