    When I first saw the photo of all those guns pointing at customers I was scared to death.


    Then I remembered they are all on the CA DOJ Safe Handgun Roster. What a relief!!!

    I collect Military Arms and enjoy shooting in local matches. I also collect older Lever Actions, especially those chambered in odd/old cartridges. If you have a nice old Winchester or Marlin in 25-20, 32-40, 38-55, 40-60, 45-70, etc etc, please PM me and we can work out a deal.

      First thing I noticed was how clean the racks and cases looked. How cares how the guns are displayed.

                It would be interesting to see if the salesman puts his finger on the trigger when he reaches in for the gun.

                  If the position of the handguns bothers you so much don't go there or start taking your medication again.

                    The barrels get pointed out to the front of the store....it's designed to seperate the buyers from the lookie loo's.
                    You probably won't be buying if your timid about staring down the barrel of a cased pistol.
                    The real reason is it's easier for the dealer to handle.

                        It's a security measure used to foil thieves/robbers...

                        All long guns are fired simultaneously, causing the perpetrator to hit the floor and surrender...

                        Should the perp attempt to take to his/her feet, all handguns are then fired (again, simultaneously), resulting in certain, uh, ...apprehension.

                          Next time you go back to the store, walk to the middle of the shop... and then yell out loud "Stop pointing your guns at me!!!"....

                            Ok just so everyone knows Im not scared if the guns are pointed this way, I just asked this question out of curiosity because gun nuts are so uptight about the first rule.

                              Just so you know ... most of the snarky comments are probably ONLY snarky ... most people are really cool on this board. There's a LOT of sarcastic humor though.

                              I don't pretend to be an "authority." I'm just a guy who trains a lot, shoots a lot and has a perspective.
