I wish other stores would post their inventory and prices on their websites. Save both of us the phone call.

I wish other stores would do more to support NRA, HRA, and HDF. Perfect opportunity (when buying or browsing guns and accessories) to get people involved and to understand that if we just sit back we may wake up one day not not have our guns and ammo.

I'm the kind of guy that likes to read and do my research before hand. He is one of the only gun shop owners with a website that is regularly updated and has his prices listed. Other gun shops on Island to be very... tight lipped about their prices and stock which makes it nearly impossible to comparison shop (which I suppose, is the intent).

Daniel does do tons for the local 2A community with the shooting fair, fun shoots, awareness, etc. If you're not ready for his honest opinion and a possibility of not agreeing with you, don't ask for it because he IS honest. He is a no-nonsense advocate who stands behind what he sells and what believes in. I bought my first gun and some hard to find items from him that other stores didn't have.

Those aspergers guys can't take a joke, but when they talk it usually pays to listen.

Damn, that's more than half of us !   

I personally don't have AS until I drink whiskey.

I thought when you drank whiskey you got puppy love?   

LOL! i actually think a lot of gun guys have aspergers.

FOCUSING ON THE POSITIVE:
Focus and diligence – The Asperger ability to focus on tasks for a long period of time without needing supervision or incentive is legendary.
Internal motivation – as opposed to being motivated by praise, money, bills or acceptance. This ensures a job done with conscience, with personal pride.
Independent, unique thinking – people with AS tend to spend a lot of time alone and will likely have developed their own unique thoughts as opposed to a ‘herd’ mentality.
Higher fluid intelligence – scientists in Japan have recently discovered that AS children have a higher fluid intelligence than non-autistic children. Fluid intelligence is "the ability to find meaning in confusion and solve new problems. It is the ability to draw inferences and understand the relationships of various concepts, independent of acquired knowledge.” (Wikipedia 2009) Experts say that those with AS have a higher than average general IQ as well.
Visual, three-dimensional thinking – some with AS are very visual in their thought processes, which lends itself to countless useful and creative applications.
Attention to detail – sometimes with painstaking perfection.
Honesty – the value of being able to say “the emperor isn’t wearing any clothes.”
Logic over emotion – although people with AS are very emotional at times, we spend so much time ‘computing’ in our minds that we get quite good at it. We can be very logical in our approach to problem-solving.
Relationships
We Can often be distant physically and/or emotionally.
Often are attracted to another purely because they are attracted to us
Alternatively, we can be obsessive
May have a hard time saying I love you, showing physical affection
We can be very critical
We takes things personally
We can be very loyal to one person
Often times we will make no motions to keep a friendships going
We need to withdraw and have solitude
Men in particular find emotions messy and unquantifiable; If partner tries to share her love for him, he may find her need to “connect” smothering
Our attention is narrowly focused on our own interests
Men with undiagnosed AS often feel as if their partner is being ungrateful or “bitchy” when she complains he is uncaring or never listens to her
He can become quite defensive when she asks for clarification or a little sympathy. The defensiveness can turn into verbal abuse (usually not physical abuse) as the man attempts to control the communication to suit his view of the world.
Social Interactions
Desire for friendships and social contact but difficulty acquiring and maintaining them
Shuts down in social situations
Social withdrawal / may avoid social gatherings
Lack of interest in other people
Lack of empathy at times
Difficulty understanding others’ feelings
Can obsess about having friends to prove they’re “normal”
Rigid social behavior due to an inability to spontaneously adapt to variations in social situations
Has an urge to inform that can result in being blunt / insulting
Preoccupied with their own agenda
Great difficulty with small-talk and chatter

But seriously, I can deal with the personality quarks or him not smiling and talking differently as I can understand and sympathize with people who don't fit into society but I drew the line when he ordered me and another customer not to talk to each other.

He ORDERED you?! 
I find that difficult to believe as a dealer who is so compassionate about the 2A that he forgets the 1st.
Besides on what authority can anyone ORDER anyone not to talk to someone else besides a kindergarten school teacher? I remember being in time-out.
