Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Orion67: I had a guy come into the Glendale AZ Cabela's looking for a flashlight mount for his S&W .500. He wanted to remove the sights and install a light in their place. As he stated "When the drug dealers down the street break into my home I don't want to accidentally shoot my kids". Another guy stated that his Korean War vet neighbor told him that pushing on the muzzle of a 1911 was a safety feature, the gun would not fire. When I told him his neighbor was an idiot for suggesting that, he left in a huff. But my most enjoyable day was the day I spent several hours with a young autistic man who knew he couldn't touch any of the guns, but wanted me to show him all the cool stuff he had read about. His mother came over after about an hour and told him to stop bothering me. I said he was no bother and I was having fun chatting with him. Manager never said a word to me, just let me keep entertaining the kid. He gave me a hug and a high five when it was time for him to leave, and evidently mom sang my praises to the store manager. He was a nice young kid, and a treat to deal with after some of the idiots I saw while working. I would have trusted that kid more than some of the folks I actually sold to. You done good. One of my favorite customers was genetically deaf. Once I figured it out, we never said a word, we just passed a piece of paper back and forth with a pen. We'd turn it over and when we ran out of room, I'd go get another sheet. We'd draw diagrams amd shit. I could tell nobody had ever given him the time of day in a gun shop, but it was nice. The time investment of writing everything kinda demanded that all communication be simple and to the point. I did good business with him and he seemed to appreciate it. He asked some of the smartest questions I'd been asked in my time behind the counter and he'd keep the pages with URLs when I told him "I don't know, but go check here". For all I know, he's a member, here. One of the sheets had "ar15.com" on it. |

The Bn SgtMaj walked in, (I worked in the Bn CO's office), I told him about the change, and he asked me why I thought they changed it. I surmised it was due to the new Kevlar helmet/armor, and loose crap flying toward you after the explosion, and ass to the blast would allow fragments to crawl up the back of your helmet and kill you. He thought that was a pretty good reply, then he detailed me to go though that thick m-fer and see if they made any other changes. F my life. |

I was at the BiMart (PNW chain store) gun counter and an old guy and his wife walked up. He was looking for
CCI 22LR because "they use a special kind of gun powder that makes them just as powerful as 22 magnum". The girl behind the counter was trying not to laugh as she told them they were all out of CCI. She asked me if I needed anything after he left and I was only able to get out, "you don't have any CCI with that special gun" before she told me to shut up, just stop.

I tend to not visit gunshops with ignorant or shitty staff. Too many good shops to not have to deal with it. My big pet peeve are lowballers for trades.
That said, the only oddball stuff I’ve heard from customers lately: “I won’t buy an AR unless it’s military spec.” “Beretta is a cheap budget brand like Taurus.” “I’ll trade you straight up, this VP9 for that braced Scorpion” “As soon as you put one round through that gun, it’s only worth half the value”. |

I always get a kick out of it when a gun shop employee starts "mansplanning" guns to my wife. She has a better collection than me, and more disposable income.
Gun shop employee: "Blah, blah, blah. You should really be looking at this as a woman. Blah, blah, blah..." Wife:   Me: (In my head) You done fucked up now.  The 2 shops near us we go to know that when we walk through the door, they are making money. Whether its an ammo or gun purchase. And they always talk to her first, because she always buys more.

But also consider the customer. If it's an elderly person who can't handle much more than a 22, I'm not going to tell them to not buy the gun |

When I told him his neighbor was an idiot for suggesting that, he left in a huff. Maybe the dude was just confused by what his neighbor was telling him. If the pistol isn’t fully in battery, the head of the disconnector will still be depressed by the slide, which prevents the sear from moving. That actually is a safety feature. My favorite gun store comment was by some old guy that said modern infantry should be issued M1903s so they wouldn’t waste so much ammo dicking around not hitting anybody. He was serious. |

Dumb kid behind the counter of a Gander Mountain told me that another LGS (over an HR away) that was THE gun shop to go-to forever was able to sell guns cheaper because they bought out all the shops that closed etc..
Also another employee told a couple that purchased a handgun about a range that was over an HR away to go-to to shoot the new gun at.. I mentioned an indoor range like right down the street... Employee acted like paying a small price to go to and indoor range (where employees work that would help and give some instruction etc...) Was an idiotic idea.. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 10mmManiac: When attempting to make a legit trade, one I was clearly losing money on. "Well lemme check what they are going for on Gun Broker first, comes back and asks for 400 cash on top of a a shotgun he was going to make 2700 on. He basically wants me to gice him more than what I paid for the gun new I don't understand the math in your story. A trade is usually going to be items of more or less equal value items, or benefit the dealer in value. Otherwise there's no financial incentive for the dealer. So you're saying that you're trading the dealer a firearm that he can flip for 2700 in profit versus the gun you're receiving in the trade? That doesn't sound like a "legit trade" . It sounds to me like you assigned a higher value to the firearm you were trading than what the dealer was willing to give it You might very well have been losing money on the value of your gun versus what you paid for it. That happens to things like ARs bought during a panic when inflated prices are in play, much to the enjoyment of many here. That doesn't mean that the AR in question retains that value at a later time.... |

While waiting to ask a question, I over heard the counter idiot telling his three gangbanger looking buddies——“ buy the Glock, they have ceramic barrels so the bullets can’t the traced. The problem is that the barrels only last 6 rounds but you can buy them by the six pack”. I left then without asking my question. Should have asked just to see how entertaining his answer would have been. (I don’t want a gun where I have to change barrels twice before a reload.)

This would supposedly catch your helmet like a parachute and drag you across the ground, causing further injuries. The air rushing back moves in and upward, and would not have the same effect. It kind of made sense to me, except that if you were that close to the blast, the heat and radiation would probably do a number on you anyways. At least it was a better answer than "just do what you're told". |

Went to the local shop and asked the owner’s son for some 7.62 NATO rounds. He asked if I wanted Russian or American NATO rounds because 7.62x51 and 7.61x39 are both NATO rounds. He then tried pushing .308 rounds. I was looking for 7.62x51 for a reason. He said .308 and 7.62 are identical. Tried to explain the difference when the owner came over and told the son he didn’t know what he was talking about.

Years ago I was looking at Garand in a shop. It is an H&R and one of the very last ones ever made. Guy walks in and asks if he can see it. Looks it all over, it is in great shape, sees it is a very late serial number H&R and pronounces that this was a Garand used as a parade rifle at West Point. He leaves a few minutes later and the gun shop owner looks at me and says "I hope you don't believe that." Then explained that he was "That guy" who always has an expert opinion on every gun in the shop. I did purchase it.
For the record only 157 made after it as serial numbers go. |

I was buying a bunch of ammo one day, and at the counter they had these cool 1* stickers. This was about 15 years ago, I had heard of it but never seen one so I put it on the pile. The counter girl asked for my department ID.
"For what?" "The sticker, they are LEO only" "That sticker is LEO only?" "Yessir, but you have short hair so I am sure you are ok" "Ummm, no, never mind. I don't want anything" It was about $300 in ammo. I have never been back. |

Quoted: Quoted: However, it's not the odds that make me carry. It's the stakes. SIG LINE material...You haz it. I don't play the lottery. Occasionally though, the prize gets so ridiculously huge, I'll grab a $5 quick pick as a goof. Why? Because when the stakes are high enough, the odds cease to matter. “You never talk of likelihoods on Arrakis. You speak only of possibilities.” |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Beretta_Jerry: Bought a couple boxes of 12 gauge buckshot after Columbine form walmart. I looked young but was over 18. Clerk asked me if I was going to shoot up my school. I bought several hundred rounds of ZQ1 at WalMart. The girl asked if I was an assassin. |
