    Turned down for M38

    so get this

    I go into a Big 5 and see a Mosin M38 in awsome (Marked as an M44 I might add ) condition. I say I wanna buy it.

    So the guy behind the counter goes and gets the Co-Store director. She looks at my I.D. and says "Do your parents know you are buying this?"

    I was shocked and told her it did not matter and that I am an adult. She said she would not sell it to me and would not give me any reason at all. I asked if she thought I was doing a Straw purchase and she said no. She also said she knows there is a Background Investigation so she knows I have to pass that.

    In the end, she talked to me like a child and would not sell me the rifle. I was furious, cause now I will have to wait 11 days from today should I choose to buy this rifle.

    I am right now calling Customer Service too see what they can do. Employee discount maybe?

    leave what you guys think.

      Hmm, sounds like age discrimination to me.

      Which Big 5 is it? Who's the manager? (You can PM me if you care to.)

                    assuming you are 18+, that is outright discrimination. F***ing Big 5... those guys (some of them) are tards. I would fight this all the way. Good luck. Keep us posted.

                      I wonder if that stupid manager's parents still know she's working at a f-ing big5?

                        Threaten a lawsuit! I'm sure they will change their tune real quick.

                              Technically the store has the right to refuse service. But still, that sucks. Maybe she thought you had to be 21 to buy a long gun?
