AH yes...the infamous gun shop lawyers. I believe all shops are required to have at least one?
This Fudd was a lawyer??? Why do you say this?

So today I'm in "Freedom Firearms" in Fort Wayne. It's exactly 2:10 pm when I hear... "Don't buy Colt.... they're a Chinese owned company... ". Twas an older man behind the counter talking to a man and a women... He was explaining the quality of handguns.
Say it isn't so....
Just a figure of speech. You know the kind...in a gun-shop the guy that knows it all and lets everyone know that he knows it all. A legend in his own mind kind.
That's not a lawyer, that is a "Stool sitter", a "counter monkey" or a "know-it-all".
A lawyer in that gun shop would say, "No, counter monkey, Colt is owned by an Iraqi-American investment banker from Manhattan, not the Chinese." The lawyer would be right. The counter monkey would still be a counter monkey.

Na, he used to own Boom and Bang in New Haven years ago.Hey, I know that guy! He worked at Gander in Lafayette before they went belly up.
Don't be silly OP, the Chinese have much better QC. Lol
Retail sucks.
99.9% of the BS comes from the customer side of the counter.
The real fun is when the call you stupid, or a liar (usually indirectly, but often openly)..........when you tell them facts/ truth.
You can b*tch about gunshops all you want, indeed some are better than others.
But until you work behind the counter...........you have no idea how screwed up the gun toting public is.
Want to ruin your hobby? Make it your job.
I've been to quite a few gunshops, and enjoy the old crusty types, even if they aren't the most technically/detail savvy. They gotta be right on other stuff a lot though.
Yup, have met some real idiots that didn't know diddly, and couldn't keep their mouths shut too.
I give any shop more than one chance.
There are shops I don't go to..........because their staff (one or more people) are friggin' morons.
Or the owner rants on endlessly about anything but your gun purchase while his wife yells from across the shop. Shew

You are not alone there....I know several folks that wouldn't go there if they were giving guns away....Their "customer service" (if there still is such a thing) is lacking in most all areas....No thanks
