I know that guns dont go off by themselves, but who else tries to stay away from the muzzle end even if the gun is sitting on the table?
It erks me when the guy behind the counter lays the pistol on the counter pointing at me, even after I see him clear it.
Here is what usually happens:
I ask to look at a pistol.
Salesman gets it out, maybe clears it, maybe not.
lays it on the counter, sometimes even pointing at me.
I pick it up, making sure not to sweep anyone in the shop
I drop the mag, clear the piece and check the mag
I look the piece over
I never insert the mag while I am looking the piece over.
I lock the pistol open and lay it back on the counter making sure not to muzzle sweep anyone in the place.
I use the same procedure for long arms.
I have had salesmen give me the "look" while doing this, but I dont feel like I am going overboard.
Just thought I'd rant after an issue earlier this week.
