When I go into a book store or newsstand that has NO gun or knife mags, I pick up a whole armload of decorating, cooking, skiing, boating, investing, etc. mags and bop up to the counter and politely ASK where the knife and gun mags are. When they say they do NOT carry "those sorts" of publications, I set the others on the counter and tell them I am "sorry" they don't cover all my interests and am going where they do.
