    Working in a gun store in CA.

    If you've ever worked in a gun store, or have spent any amount of time in one; then you'll recognize this conversation.

    I worked in a gun store for about 12 years and never heard a conversation even remotely like that one. Of course this was back in the 1970's and early 1980's.

              I'm looking forward to retiring and getting a part time job at a gun store.



              Preferably a very small gun store that gets no customers

                Not accurate. The gun store employee in the video is too polite, actually knows what he's talking about, and is dedicating a bit of time to a customer, no matter how foolish he may look. My experience with just about every gun store in so cal has been the exact opposite, especially the first two.

                  those who feel this way should come to my local shop so they can find out how gun shops should treat you

                    Meh. I am not impressed.

                    I could probably make a funnier PPT version.
                    www.tenpercentfirearms.com was open from 2005 until 2018. I now own Westside Arms.

                        Of course... the guy must be a Calgunner because I've never met a gun store employee that coherent


                        Oh! and for the BCM fanbois


                        But maybe my favorite....

                          What about the ones who you know should not own guns but are buying guns. I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about: That strange gleam in their eye, a walk and and a talk that just makes you a little bit uncomfortable with the idea of this particular person owning a firearm. Of course there is no legal reason this person can't own a firearm but you know they shouldn't. Now before I get jumped on for infringing on anyones rights let me say it's not my business if someone who is legally able to buy a gun buys one, but that said I have run into several folks at gunshops who I wouldn't want to be anywhere around if they had a loaded gun in their hands.
                          I didn't buy fireworks on the 4th of July, if I want fireworks I'll call my ex-wife.
