I was driving around an unfamiliar area and I saw a store named “Gamer’s Armory” and I thought they would have videogames and stuff, and I stopped and went in, but they just had a bunch of tabletop wargame stuff and like 20 people sitting at tables playing. I felt like quite the fool. I had to stay in the store a few minutes and look at all the things they were selling, lest they know I had made a mistake. And then I left thoroughly embarrassed.
Without opening the thread, my first thought was “dice”.
Six people have voted that they are fools… 
My thought was D&D type games, possibly with video games as well.
It sounds like your kind of store! Are they open Superbowl Sunday?
This was exactly what I was going to say. I wouldn’t have been surprised to see a video game section in such a store, but I’d have expected it to focus on tabletop gaming.
I’d expect them to be selling D&D books, Magic: The Gathering cards, mats, card holders/files/boxes, maybe some Pokemon for the wee sprogs (Gotta Catch 'Em Young!). Probably comics and graphic novels, posters, figurines from D&D, Star Trek and Buffy. Dice, of course, as well as little velvet bags for carrying your dice in. Maybe some DVD/BluRays with a heavy SciFi/Fantasy selection.
I wouldn’t expect video games, except maybe as a subsection of the store.
ETA: I wouldn’t be surprised to see people there playing, and even holding tournaments there, but I would expect it to be a retail store as well.
It would probably be worth surveying how many of the people ‘not fools’ would be people with a passing knowledge of said games.
I wouldnt have worried about making a mistake at all.

I would have thought it was a place to buy costumes & props for LARPing.
Dice, miniatures, rulebooks, tabletops setups in the back, maybe those li’l airplane for WW2 simulations.
What WhyNot said.
My friends had (and one still has) a store that this happened to all the time. I don’t see why it would be a misleading name since there are PLENTY of types of games. In fact, if I saw “Armory” I’d think tabletop games.
The one friend of mine who still owns a gaming store is open Superbowl Sunday so we can do some 40K, Warmachine, and various board games while we watch. Plus there’s alcoholic beverages. If you’re in Orlando I can PM you the store info 
well how was I supposed to know that. I have never seen a store just for these games (although I have seen them in a section of the videogame store). When I hear “gamers” I think videogames. I guess “armory” is the biggest clue, but I don’t know anything about these sorts of games, so it went unnoticed by me
I wasn’t calling you an idiot for not knowing what sort of games, exactly, were being sold in a given store. I’m calling you an idiot because you seriously feel the name is deceptive.
Another vote for expecting it to feature tabletop games.
That said, I know that my local gaming store, Games Plus, doesn’t carry video games, but it does seem like, nearly every time I’m in there, they get a phone call or a shopper wandering in looking for video games (they always politely redirect them to local video-game stores). So, PSXer, I can understand your confusion, though I don’t think that you have any need to feel embarrassed by it.
You are not an idiot, but it’s also not misleading. “Gamer” meant table-top games long before it meant video games. I mean, what sort of name could they put on it that wouldn’t be misleading? It’s a game store. It’s going to be “[something] Games” or “Gamer’s [something]”. Those are pretty much the only option. These sorts of stores have existed for 30 years or more. There’s not a lot of them, but any mid-size city and larger has them.
This is exactly what I’d expect to find there.
No vote.
You fucked up some where between the question and the poll selection. I was looking for RPG store, didn’t answer poll.
How are you doing in college btw ?
I’m doing fine in college but the problem is I don’t know what I will do after college because I have a useless major (Latin/Greek)
Condoms.
I’d have expected about what you saw. What confuses me is why you were embarrassed.
