Re: Best Gun Shop Stories... Share them!
In back I hear some yelling. I come to see my guy, a marine with an AK47 in hand just about to lay the meat grabbers to a customer. The customer walked up to the counter, say his Ak is broke, points the muzzle at my guy pulling the trigger, see it no go bang, my guy grabs it away from the customer to find a live round in the chamber bolt closed with the customer pulling the trigger.
I hear some screaming and curse words, I turn to see a young lady with hand fulls of hair of an older lady, slinging her around by the hair trying to punch and hit her. I yell, go over, the youngin wants to confront me. Call 911 to my guy. PD shows up, the youngin was a run away from the jail and the other was a bailmans or something that found the girl by chance in the shop and confronted her and the fight was on.
I have a warrant out in the state of Florida, can I buy a gun here?
Dont let the guy behind the counter sell you junk, you need this 19 (glock), I can hit a coke can at 300 yards with mine.
NICS, I need to pass this transaction off to a examiner / supervisor. Is the customer still there, yes, he is at the counter, can you hold them there, I can try, we are contacting local authorities. Two LE walk in, is this the guy showing a print out, looks like him, where is he, there, excuse me sir, is this you? click click in cuffs, NICS calls back, this transaction will be a denied, no kidding!
Camera shows a customer who was denied the day before sitting outside in his vehicle hitting a pipe. In walks his bud that just got out of the vehicle hitting the pipe asking for the same gun. 911, I got a denied yesterday who is hitting a pipe as we speak in my lot and his friend who is now in here trying to get the same gun, he was seen hitting the pipe too. Hold on, I got officers in route. Have you seen weapons, no but he said he had one yesterday. Roll up two squads on the vehicle, he jumps and runs, in comes two officers, clicky click n cuffs, ask some questions, call and then a sarg shows up, grills him, makes a call, bye bye they go.
Had three so called customers putting the words to me about a return after throwing it at my young lady and cussing her. It started getting nasty. One of them pulled up his coat to show a knife, call 911, phone goes up. 911 is asking questions, I tell them 911 in on the way, the guy again displays the knife then he walks out, the other guys says a bunch of crap, flips me off and all, and then leaves, I turn around to find my guy backing me up with his 45 in hand.
I got a mad customer who leaves, I hear come here, the guy is in the lot damaging our cars. I go out to confront him, he has a bat in his hand and walks towards me. I yell dial 911, I retreat, he takes a few whacks, and walks around the corner, I follow, PD shows up, cuffs him. He had warrants.
In comes a customer with a rifle, and the ammo he bought saying he got bad ammo, rifle is a marlin in 308 marlin express and the ammo is 308win. Here is the problem, rifle is 308 express and your ammo is 308win. No you are wrong, my rifle is a marlin 308, the express means its custom, high grade, you know express meaning better. Sorry but express is a cartridge designator that is different from 308win. I think you are wrong and he left.
Had a guy show up with 30.06 round actually in the chamber of a 270win. He said the bolt was hard to close but he finally got it closed and now it wont come out.
Had a customer complaining the 38super ammo was bad in his SW 38sp, primers or something are bad, cant get a single round to go off.
Showing a customer a M77, I turned my back to grab another rifle and as I turned back to him, he had pulled ammo out of his pocket and was loading the rifle. I grabbed it from him and what the heck are you doing stupid! He looked at me and then said, guess that was not a good idea to do in a gun shop. No kidding Einstein.
