Liberty Tree Guns — Local services in Carthage

I had a good experience here a month ago and bought a second weapon a few days ago. There are several negative reviews below mine. The common irritation points are that the staff are inattentive, the store is too small, and they do not carry 1,000+ guns.

The first point is from a mismatch in expectations. You walk into a small town gun store feeling entitled to special treatment and when you don't get it, you will be upset. Not every store has to conform to your standard of fast food service. If you don't put on your big boy pants and approach an employee, you might have to wait a bit. That was my experience.

On the second point, if you compare Liberty Tree Guns to other local stores like Rayzor's Edge in Joplin, you will discover it is 3-4 times larger with a bigger in-store inventory. The size is big enough for the inventory they carry with room to spare. The reason it feels crowded is probably due to an increase in people buying guns and ammo and also depends on the time of day and day of week you show up.

On the third point, Liberty Tree does have a huge inventory. The sign says, "1,000+ Guns In-Stock." I don't know if there are 1,000 guns in the store, but there are well over 100. You can count them in the pictures on Google. They also have a warehouse and a large in-stock inventory to select from online that ships to the store pretty fast. Being "in-stock" and being "in-store" are two different concepts.

My experience with Liberty Tree Guns was that I ordered online and received a text message from a store employee to let me know when the gun was ready for pick up. I went to the store shortly after they opened, and approached an employee. I was met with friendly service and my gun was located fast. After that, I had to fill out a background check which was done by tablet instead of paper like other local stores which made the process faster. After getting my gun, I also bought ammo which I couldn't find anywhere else online.

Overall, I like this store. The people are nice, the website is easy to navigate, and they actually have weapons and ammo in-stock! That alone makes them worth shopping...

I've now purchased 4 guns from Liberty Tree Guns and I can't tell you how happy I was the three times I went there from super friendly staff, easy transactions, knowledgeable staff, smooth process and ability to have ammo on the shelf. I was a lil disappointed that my usual sales guy wasn't there on the lastest double purchase but hey he needs a day off too (sorry Derick, I really was looking forward to your input on my purchase) but the other staff was great too!!! Great group of people here! I won't shop anywhere else especially since they're always helpful and friendly as well as knowledgeable. Hey Derick, u better be there next time (just kidding, although it would be nice if you are). I like how they don't treat us ladies like most shops do and they don't dummy it down unless you ask them to (on something you may not know, willing to explain it but not with a condescending attitude to go along). I've never felt like I shouldn't be there nor that they didn't respect me (I've been treated like that at...

I want to start off saying I love this shop and I’ve spent thousands in there however recently I’ve been hearing Some lies from these guys. The first being top dollar for your trade. I bought a .38 revolver less than a week later I decided I wanted the 357 instead so I went to see how much they would give on a trade there offer was less than half what I paid a week before. #2 this we stand behind what we sell yeah right 6 months ago I purchased a brand new ruger supper black hawk hunter in .44 magnum I took this brand new revolver to the range shot 1 cylinder through it reloaded and it wouldn’t do anything I couldn’t even pull the hammer back the following day I called liberty tree to see what we could do they straight up told me I would have to call ruger and get it fixed well luckily ruger has amazing customer service because they sent me the BUYER all the parts I needed to fix it. I don’t mind fixing the thing but shame on liberty...
