Dumb things overheard at a gun store.

[Legendary350]

I stopped in at a local store that also had a gun range. Asked the guy behind the counter if I could shoot my 45/70 there. He said: "Nothing bigger than a .30/06." So I said: "Then my 45/70 is fine." He looks at me and says: "What did I just say?" I learned a long time ago not to argue with idiots, so I took my business elsewhere.

My point, if you know something, say something.

I have to fight the urge to do so every time I'm in a gun store because I don't want to sound like an *******. No one wants to be one-upped in their own store by a complete stranger. Lots of egos in the gun world.

Instead, I try to ask questions that are pertinent so that the salesman can look like the good guy. Playing dumb can give people permission to admit what they don't know.

You already asked, he answered..what a dick. I would have shot it without asking, ballistics won’t hurt their backstop

My point. He obviously had no idea how backstops are rated. Probably had no idea what a 45/70 is. I wanted to ask him about 12GA slugs...but just left instead.

Actually a good strobe light kills on contact.

True. I use to have a 4-cell Mag-Light that died every time I picked it up

As a former gun salesperson, I hate you people. Whether we have one or ten they all come in a box. And it better have a serious flaw before you get a discount.

Ahhhhhh, so THAT's how you became a 'former gun salesman'!

{forgive me - just being my typical smarta$$ self }

This was not a gun store, but a Conceal Carry Class, a few years ago. We had one guy, that kept pointing his pistol at the instructor, to the point he told him the next time, he was kicked out without a refund! I was kinda hoping this idiot didn't qualify for this permit, the kind of jerk that gives all gun owners a bad name! and a real danger to himself, and others!
