Gun owner for a minute

[geronimojoe85]

Ok guys and gals, I'm going to admit to one of my guilty pleasures.
It's a little website called F My Life. This is where people can post about crappy things that happened to them. Such as "today I came home early and found my girlfriend taking down her mobile meth lab"

But today I saw a post that made me think. I'm not sore what state this guy was from but he posted "today I picked up my handgun from the gun store and as I was walking out a guy with a crowbar attacked me and stole my gun"

Now weather the story is BS or not I don't know/care, but I see alot of people leave gun shops with their new baby and NO AMMO! It really surprises me how often I see that.

Wouldn't have mattered. You can't load it in the store.

They shouldn't have bought at Don's Guns.

I read another story about this happening at a Gander Mountain store some place. The crooks had one guy in the store staking out the gun counter and than would phone his accomplice outside the store with the guys description that had bought a gun. Who would think that just after purchasing a gun that you would get robbed outside the store?

Solution

He should have carried a gun when he made that purchase.

Ding Ding Ding- we have a winner.

Unless it is your first, there is little excuse. Think of the Boy/Cub scout motto, "Be prepared"

It sucks the world has come to this, but it does NOT excuse unpreparedness

Sounds like we need some crowbar legislation.....NOT!

An Officer was telling a group of us a story of a guy that went into a pawn shop and looked at a shotgun and the clerk handed it to him and he slid a shell, he had in his pocket, in the gun and shot the clerk in tha face and robbed the pawn shop. Its a shame this country is in the shape its in

Geez, this thread is just another reminder of how incredibly dangerous it is to buy guns!

I bet I can.

thats what makes it nice about living in a small town with a good gun shop. i would not think something like that would ever happen, and since its a small town i would rather keep my buisness local even if it came down to paying a little more.

Ok I guess this guy was in Florida.

Anyway, I always use a new purchase to try and score a deal on ammo
"you know you can't let me walk out of here with no ammo I'd be totally unarmed, you should throw in a box of your finest hollow points considering of how you just took advantage of me. 600 dollars for a Sig, for shame sir."

Ban Crowbar sales

Geez, this thread is just another reminder of how incredibly dangerous it is to buy guns!

And I was thinking how crazy it is to allow the sale of crowbars.

 

[FPDDURAMAX]

WOW! I guess it helps to have one on you already!! Being in that area!!

 

[Donnelly]

If you make crowbars illegal, only criminals will have crowbars. And the police, of course.

 

[BIG TIM]

That does it! I'm putting a crowbar in my night stand and dumping that useless .357!

 

[U.S. Patriot]

That's why I always carry a loaded gun with me!

this brings up something I've always wondered:

at a gunshop, is the sign that says, "NO LOADED GUNS", meant to apply to all guns, even those legally concealed/OC'd? or does it just pertain to guns being plopped up on the counter for a sale/trade/appraisal/etc. ?
