Heard a guy asking for .22 long pistol.
The guy behind the counter said "I believe you mean .22 long rifle." The first guy said "I'm shooting it out of a pistol, not a rifle." |

If you think gun store employees say some stupid crap, you should hear what comes out of the mouths of gun store customers.

Not a gun store, but at the lunch table at work:
Cold War Vet: "You have to have a Class III license to own a MG." Me: "No. You don't. You have to go through the Form 4 process and get approved" Cold War Vet: "I was in the military! I know more about MGs than you will ever know!" Me: "Wrong again. You know about the gun you were issued and owned by the US. That doesn't teach you anything about private ownership-- or anything technical about guns you were not issued." Cold War Vet: Storms off. To drive it home, I brought in a copy of my Form 4 on my MG the next day, showed it to him, and asked him to bring in one of his to compare our experience on the matter. We are actually good friends now. He's a good guy.... but he started out with a view that his military record made him an expert on things that a military record doesn't teach you. Ego is a hell of a thing. |

Last time I was in my LGS filling out paperwork there was another man going through a background check. He first started to tell the clerk how nasty those .22s were in the counter because they will bounce around in you. Clerk subtly told him he was full of shit. Next, while still filling out background check, customer started describing how he could flip the gun that he was in the process of purchasing in New York for $1,500.

Therefore, you must shoot .22 Short in it. |

I have heard so many but Many years ago I bought a Kimber 1911 that had been converted by ace custom in Texas to shoot .45 super. It came with 2 boxes of ammo. I went to the local gun shop that was more of a reloader and ammo supply. The owner is a grade a jackass that is always rude and a know it all. I asked him for a box of .45 super. He proceeds to tell me there is no such thing and it would blow a gun up if it existed. After many trys to explain the ammo exists, he tells me I don't know what I'm talking about. I walk out and come back with the pistol in the box with the documents from ace in it as well. After he stands there in front of his employees and customers looking kinda stupid, I then show him my almost empty box of 50 rounds of .45 super with his stores label on it. The store label was the reason I was even there since I had no idea where else to get. 45 super ammo. I left feeling like I got a small win with the jackass. I wish I still had that gun.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sq40: “As soon as you put one round through that gun, it’s only worth half the value”. That’s not exactly wrong, at least when it comes to trades. People over value their own stuff. That gun you paid $700 (plus tax) for? It costs me $600 wholesale brand new and I’m gonna put it on the shelf right next to the new one for $700. So don’t get offended when you have to take a $200 loss on a gun you bought two weeks ago. People want top dollar for their own used guns but then expect a used gun on the rack to cost half of what a new one is. |

We have a lot of great customers but also a lot of ...You’d be amazed how many people reload without using any published load data or weighing powder charges. The average person can’t estimate range at all. Everyone shoots 2” groups at 800 yards or killed their deer at 500 yards. Most people think their guns are registered after they fill out a 4473. People don’t understand caliber designations at all, or realize that telling me you need “7mm shells” isn’t enough information. Gun parts vary by manufacturer and model. I can’t tell you what magazine you need based on only the caliber. I can bore sight your rifle but I can’t “sight it in” without shooting it. And yes, you need to zero it before you go hunting. Bore sighting isn’t good enough. I can’t tell you what scope base goes on your rifle if all you can tell me is the manufacturer or caliber. Just because you won’t drop $1,000 on an optic doesn’t mean the $59.95 Simmons scope is just as good. If that’s your budget, then go with the Simmons, but there’s a reason high end optics cost money. No I can’t fix your broken $20 Chinese red dot you bought off Amazon or EBay, but I’ll sell you a name brand optic instead. |

"I just saw the UFO they are holding down at the mall parking lot. The ladies in the green uniforms had it surrounded. The CIA knows what kind of bullets I can make, so they watch me all the time, especially since I pointed out to the General at the show that someone had mistakenly left the X-33's cargo doors open for everyone to see what it was carrying. (Grabs his goat tee just below the lip and pulls it towards me). Do you wish you had one of these?"

Overheard a employee tell a customer who was looking at an ar pistol with a brace who said it doesn't feel right, that all he needs to do is put a regular stock on it. Because it was sold as a pistol, its legal to put a stock on it.
Turned out I wasn't the only one who over heard that. His supervisor did too and chewed his ass out right in front of everyone and fired him. Customer just looked at me like WTF is going on? Told him the guy told you to do something that could end up putting you in prison for 10yrs.

Guy came in looking for a 45. He was bitching about all the AR and AK's we had on the shelves. Showed him what I had in the case. Springfield, colt, Kimber, Rock Island, and something else. He was looking for a higher end 1911 so I pulled one of the expensive kimbers out. This was before some of the later quality issues. He starts raving that they are piece of shits that it cost him a finger and part of his hand..... I notice then one had is kind of fucked up. So I ask him to explain futher. Now my boss at the time was very customer oriented, he is just sitting there watching this go down.
Customer then explaines that he shot himself in the hand with a kimber when he was trying to unload it.... So I look at him a said. " So let me get this strait, Kimbers are a piece of shit because you did not follow basic firearm saftey, put one hand in front of the muzzle and either pulled the trigger or dropped the hammer with a round in the chamber. Any pistol here would have done the same thing, that the gun was not at fault he was. And that blamming the gun for your stupidly is no different then Anti Gunners blaming guns for shootings". He just looked at me with a blank stare. Boss just started smiling. He conceded that was indeed his fault but he would never own a Kimber after that. I just looked at him and said" Maybe its best you not own any guns." He left after that. Fucking Fudd POS. Told the boss im sorry, I was always very helpful and patient with people. He just said, " You did the right thing!" |

In the mid 1980s, I stopped at a gun store and happened to see a Chinese AK on the wall. The owner, an older man, was with a customer making a sale. All his guns had tags on them and, of course, the tag was turned where I couldn’t see the price. It was clearly marked as a Norinco AK. After ten or fifteen minutes, I left since I had to go to work and I didn’t want to interrupt his sale. A few days later I go back and the AK was gone. I told him I’d seen an AK there a few days earlier but it was gone now. He told me he didn’t have an AK a few days earlier and he’d never had one. I’m like, OK, do you know someone who might have one. Asshole said Cuba or some local drug dealers. Turned my back on him and walked out. Found out later he had a reputation for being a jackass.
FIL a few years ago decided he wanted a 9mm. We went to the Bass Pro Shop in Spanish Fort since they usually have a good selection and he could get to handle a good variety of them. An older man working the counter greeted us and asked what we were interested in. Told him we’d like to see some 9mm handguns, small and medium sized. He tells us that what he’s been selling the most of was the Smith and Wesson 500s. Hmmm, ok, how about some 9mms? Tells us after I ask about 9mms again that most of his customers for the 500s are Border Patrol Agents and the reason they like them is because they can destroy an engine block. He was also on the Smith and Wesson shooting team. Told FIL that unless he was wanting to smash some engine blocks, we would go to Academy and look around. |

The only gun shop I visit is GT Distributors in Dallas. They had a couple of mouth breathers in the past. One guy was telling the state trooper and a Dallas cop how best to use a baton. Another kept dropping the slide on an empty chamber. Glock, sign, nice 1911, all get slide dropped. Not just once, he'd do most of them two or three times each
 Luckily I have seen either one in a couple years. |

Quite a while back, when I was brand new to firearms, I purchased my first bolt action .22 rifle.
I had no idea which scope rings I needed for the scope I had purchased for it, so I took it to a gun shop for some help. I showed the guy my scope and rifle, and asked him which scope rings would fit it so I could buy the right ones. He basically snatched the combo out of my hands and disappeared for about 15 minutes without saying a single word to me. When he showed back up, he had my scope mounted to the gun with rings. I told him he didnt need to do that, I wanted to set it up myself. But oh well, how much for the rings? 95 for the rings, 50 for labor. Fuckin what? I told him no way man, not for a .22. He angrily grabbed my rifle off the counter, slammed it in a vise and with all the huff and puff of a dramatic fudd, undid the combo and gave my stuff back. He said not one word during this whole transaction. I have never been back. And I never recommend his shitty dusty shop to anyone. |

Then looks at me and says this happens all the time.Not sure if Glenn or not-Glenn is the bigger screw up. Depends on if Glenn is leaving live rounds in the gun after firing it at the range or if he is using live rounds for testing in the shop and leaving them in there. Either way, if you know your gunsmith has a habit of leaving live rounds in guns you should be super-vigilant in treating every gun as if it is loaded. He should be clearing the guns anyway, but doubly, triply so in this case. |
