We are Family...

I mentioned this in a little blurb, but felt it needed more attention.  We at Haynes and Sons Guns are a FAMILY store.  It was founded, owned, and operated by the Haynes Family.  So let me be clear, we, as a family, welcome your family to join us.  We welcome husbands, wives, girlfriends (never at the same time as the wives LOL), sons, daughters, and babies to come to our home.  We will never ask you to leave your children outside, or your wife (unless she is opposed to this current gun purchase;).  We have seating for all, and will do our best to accommodate your entire group.  We even have a soft kiddie chair so the kids can be part of the action.  We can even get them their own kid sized water and will make a cup of Cocoa if so desired.

See, there are a lot of things we are not, and some of you may be looking for more, we understand.  We are not the type to walk around in military gear and wearing guns on our hips.  We don't try and intimidate customers into buying.  We don't slap guns out of hands, or yell at people for flagging someone (we don't encourage it either).  But we are a family friendly business.  What we do offer is a chance to hold every gun in the shop until you find one you like.  What we do offer is the opportunity to make every moment with a gun a learning opportunity for the little ones, and sometimes the big ones too, just look on the back of our business cards.  What we do offer is a safe and friendly place to look at, touch, and buy guns.  We don't scoff or make fun of questions, we don't want to militarize your spouse or children. If you want your spouse or child to hold a gun, and aren't sure how, just ask, we are more than willing to show them how to safely handle a gun.  We want you to feel comfortable, and we want you to come back.

I have said this a few times; we are a home based store, so for us, it is kind of personal.  We don't just check out customers and hand out guns, we invite you into our family home.  We hope you always leave feeling welcome to come back.  Think about what it takes to invite people into your home, trust, caring, and friendship, and we hope to exhibit all of these.

A word on kids.  We will always, and I mean always answer any question a child may have.  We will never make a child feel afraid of guns or gun people.  A child that has comfort and respect for a firearm will not sneak to 'touch' Dad's gun while they are out.  A child that has respect and discipline around firearms will never be a worry for parents.  We are a gun shop, and while we are family friendly, we ask that you keep a close and watchful eye on your little ones, you wouldn't let your child run loose in a liquor or knife store, so please watch them closely.  It has been brought to my attention that there are stores in Spokane that have yelled at families and children for just being a family.  That is garbage, and will NEVER happen in my home or shop.  A child, or even a parent that is yelled at in the presence of guns may feel intimidated their whole life.  A gun is just a tool, when you show it respect, and use it with discernment, it will alway serve you well.

To answer a recent question, when should you start teaching kids about guns and letting them shoot?  As soon as possible.  All of my children were, under very close supervision, shooting by the time they were 3 or 4.  As soon as a child can remember the rules of firearm safety, he or she should be able to handle, with supervision, any firearm they can safely maintain.

Please always feel comfortable bringing your whole family to our store, you are all welcome.  Buying a gun should be a great time for the whole family.  No one should feel excluded because they aren't the right sex, or height, or age.  We look forward to opening our family home to your family.

Take Care,
