Have you ever patronized a business, and had such a bad experience that you left wondering, ""How on Earth do these guys even stay in business?"" Well, that's the reaction you'll likely get if you're brave enough (or stupid enough) to visit what has to be, hands-down, the absolute WORST gun store in Portland. The owner, a guy named Warren, appears to be crazy. And I don't mean that simply in a name-calling type of way. I mean, he LITERALLY appears to be crazy. Never before have I seen a business owner yell at a customer for no reason. Until I went to The Gun Room, that is. Basically, imagine the absolute worst stereotype you can for a creepy, far right-wing kook, and you've got this Warren character. Oh yes, he is definitely one of those ?black helicopters are coming to get me!? types. As for his store, he's the only gun dealer I've ever seen that actually sells stuff above MSRP! And he only carries a very limited selection of firearms. And if he doesn't carry something, he will tell you that it's because the item you want is junk. Glock? It's junk to Warren. Sig Sauer? It's junk to Warren. Walther? Junk. Kimber? Junk. Are you starting to get the picture? The guy is opinionated. In and of itself, that's not necessarily bad. But when your opinions aren't based on even the flimsiest of logic, reason or fact, one has to consider that your opinions are worthless and were pulled out of a certain body orrifice. Folks, read these Citysearch reviews of The Gun Room. Notice how virtually every single one is bad? That's not a coincidence...it's a warning! So, how much do I dislike The Gun Room and its owner? Well, let me put it this way: If this Warren character was on fire, I wouldn't even relieve myself on him to put the fire out! Unless you like throwing away money, being verbally abused, and doing business with a man who doesn't know jack about firearms, stay away from The Gun Room.
Pros: You'll feel better about yourself after meeting the owner of The Gun Room
Cons: You'll also feel like you need to take a shower after being in the same room with such a dirtbag
