Almost all of my guns were purchased used either from LGS or at gun shows. The tiny handful I have purchased new were all ordered over the internet because they were on sale for an extremely attractive price.
Since my boss has now opened his own gun store as a side business all of my future new purchases are likely to be LGS. Otherwise I have to explain to the guy who signs my paychecks why I didn't buy from him.
Barring that, if the price was close enough at the LGS compared to some on-line deal I would buy local. A few bucks doesn't much matter one way or the other but supporting my local LGS does.
