Buy recommendations Firearms outlet Canada

Are they as bad to buy from as I've heard? I'm looking for a Henry long ranger in .308 for some moose hunting, and they're the only place in Canada I've found them in stock.

Canada computers had their website hacked and tons of people got compromised. Shit happens, I still shop at CC. I went to the FOC store and bought something on card, no worries. literally no one else in Ontario had that item. The FOC web inventory is one of the better store fronts for comparing items and prices.

People weren't pissed simply because they were compromised, as you point out that can happen anywhere.

People were pissed because FOC knew about it for weeks and didn't tell anyone while continuing to take orders.

Here's FOC themselves, laying out the timeline:

  • October 2022: Visa informs FOC they have a security issue that has compromised online orders for the last 4 months, affecting up to 200 customers.
  • 7 November: FOC actually fixes the vulnerability.
  • 15 November: FOC makes their first public statement about the issue, in response to a Reddit thread.

Presumably, they were just hoping it would all blow over and they could sweep it under the rug without scaring off potential customers, especially with Black Friday looming in a few weeks. Unfortunately for them, people put 2 and 2 together and figured out something was up.

I will never give those scumbags another penny.

This is the key detail all of FoC's white knighting cucks gloss over. Its not that it happened. No one with a brain cares about that. Its how they handled it shows who they are as a company.

A company morally on par with the liberals. I guarantee FoC was first in line to try and get money from the store buyback too.
