Here's the situation: I needed a good box to store ammo, so I stopped by my local Gander (I know) to see if they had something that fit my needs. Of course, after I found what I was looking for, I took a walk down the counter to see if anything might catch my eye. Something would really have to be interesting for me to go BMV and pull a number.
As I am making my way, I hear a "click." I look up and there is a customer about 15 feet from me intently focused on his aim on a brand new firearm (which was along the lines of a Sig P226), pointing just off the side of the store clerk's shoulder, towards the wall. I thought to myself, "No way he just dry fired that gun."
Sure enough, as I am walking past behind him and see him squeeze the trigger. I hear another click and see the hammer move forward.
Is this common, acceptable practice? I have never seen this before. I am surprised the clerk didn't seem to have a problem with it. I don't dry fire my own guns, and they are MY GUNS, let alone a brand new gun for sale... Plus the safety concern of the whole situation.
Thoughts/comments???
