I've gotten to page 200. I think 192 of them are about my inlaws. There are about 8 pages worth of good stories.

I forgot this gem, from way back when I was looking to buy my first handgun! Shop owner says, "I don't like to sell guns to women. They are usually afraid to use them and get them taken away and used against them by the bad guy."
I said, "you better believe if someone threatens my daughter or me (I was going thru divorce at the time), I will have no problem shooting them." Then I left and bought a gun elsewhere.
That shop no longer exists. While the guy might have had a point about some women, he could have directed me to some training or literature about self-defense and handguns.

Regardless, it's none of his flippin' beeswax.

Should have asked him if he had any evidence of that or if it was just something he thought of after he had too much to drink.

this is off topic, but i like the may avatar.

Worked at a few gunshops, working at a range on the weekends, and frequent both regularly. Some of the stuff was horrific...1. Gunshow three years ago, walking the aisles. See a 600 dollar Colt Delta, fairly beat up, but still okay. I'm checking it out and a kid, younger than even I, ambles up and commences to talk about how he carried that gun in Vietnam when in special forces. I stare at him blankly. I then responded with, "Prepare for itemized list of why that is the stupidest thing I've heard... One, the 10mm cartridge was developed after Vietnam. Two, the Delta Elite firearm was developed after Vietnam. Three, you don't even look old enough to shave yet you served in Vietnam... I guess I need to put this gun down and ask where I can buy some of the really good *&^% you're smoking..." Never bought it, just left.2. Working the counter at the shop, old guy walks in, shotgun cradled in his arms. He reverently places it on the counter, Remington 870 Express Magnum, VERY clearly marked on the side. He wants to trade it in on a Colt 1911 we had in the case. I give him the value (about $200 trade in towards the Colt). He launches into a tirade about how that gun killed Nazis in W W eye eye and it was his grandfather's gun that he carried in said conflict. I asked him if his Grand-pappy had a Delorean and a wild eyed scientist who thinks he's a doctor. He looked at me bewildered, and after I explained that the Express Magnums weren't made until about 30 years or more AFTER WW2, he settled down and filled the 4473.3. Old timer who wouldn't buy anything or leave the shop: "Dem' Black Talons will rip an (insert racial slur here)'s head off, even in .32". I asked him to leave after telling two customers that.4. "The Israelis contracted Smith and Wesson to make the .460 and .500 revolvers because the Desert Eagles weren't reliable enough. They used them to blow door locks off during raids..."5. Anything that starts with, "My cop buddy said..." Yeah, those always end well. My fav: "A knife that size requires credentials to buy..." Customer telling his friend that as they pointed excitedly at the cheap Chinese Rambo knife copy in the case.6. "Honey, if you can't handle the recoil of the Bersa or the Smith Airweight, you just need a can of mace and dial 911..." I actually walked up, talked to the lady and had her follow me to another shop to buy a Glock 19. Retarded old man behind the counter at the first shop needed his face caved in as this was his response to anything female walking in the door (shop in Toledo Ohio)7. "M855 is armor piercing... that's why we can't keep it in stock, the police are buying it all up to use against (and I'm quoting here) the farmers when they weld steel plate to their tragggctors and run over the county building..."8. "The Army is going to start using these..." in reference to an Ahrmalite AR180 that I hhgwas interested in. What Army? Even the IRA is dumping them when they can...9. "The faster the twist rate, the more explosive the fragmentation in the body..."10. "All civilians need are revolvers, the police are the ones that need the autos... I hate selling an auto and refuse to sell it to one of those stupid gang banger wannabes that roam Toledo..." From a shop notorious for the owner being anti-civilian gun ownership and made a mint selling to the local police. Reference #6, same jagov...

About five hours ago;

SomeGuy: "I'm looking for a holster for my G30."
Me: "Lemme go see if we have a G30 in the case. We can open the packages and test fit."
SomeGuy: "I got mine" (pulls his carry gun, sweeps my guts)
Me: "Hey! Don't sweep me!"
SomeGuy: "I won't"
Me: "Dude! You just did!"
SomeGuy: "I never keep one in the chamber so it doesn't matter"

Had my neighbor do that the other day. He said he just bought a S&W and I ask to see it as he couldn't remember the model (it was a SD9VE). Brought it out and first thing he did was sweep me with it and handed it to me. I told him not to do that again and he looked confused. I said, please don't sweep me with the barrel of the gun and he said Oh that's okay, I made sure it was unloaded before I brought it out. I explained he should never point a gun at anything he doesn't want to destroy and he just looked confused. I need to keep working on him to create a responsible gun owner.

That my employment with the federal government (with a security clearance) guarantees a delay in my background check when purchasing a firearm. I work with 3 fellow firearm enthusiasts, combined we have eight firearm purchases in the past year, not a single delay in the group.

This is sad. My six year old knows every weapon is always treated as if it is loaded, which in his case means he doesn't touch it and alerts an adult. People like this are a bad day, a brain fart, a momentary distraction away.... from drastically altering or ending a life.

I agree. In his defense, however, I'll say that he's a new gun owner and has never been taught better. I'm hoping to teach him better so that he knows how to safely handle his firearm without being a danger to anyone around him.

When people tell me it's unloaded, I ask them if they've ever seen in the news where someone is shot by a gun they thought was unloaded.
