So I was asking around in a different forum, and (I'm completely new to guns) what I was wondering was, since I had just been to the Indianapolis gun show, whether the new guns that they put on display and people handle are the ones they sell new.
Turns out that in stores and shows, these guns are sold as new unless they have more in the back (like for more popular guns).
Coming from a nerdy computer background, I thought this was kind of lame. Someone likened it to clothes and I guess that made a bit more sense. But if dry firing can damage a gun, and people constantly do that, wouldn't it not be in prime shape? Not to mention potential drops, oil/other substances from people's hands, and a bunch of other things.
Am I completely crazy for not liking this? Or did the other forum give me incorrect information?
