Then again I should have known I was not in the best place when I overheard the fact one of the clerks had a negligent at his apartment, a couple days before.

This story cracks me up every time I tell it:
Buddy of mine worked the gun counter at the Gart Sports in Old Town Fort Collins years ago when it was there and sold guns. One evening a 'gentleman' comes in and looks a little bit shady. Eyes dodged and darted as he approached the counter in a swift yet nearly out of control manner. He looks my buddy dead in the eyes and in all seriousness his first words out of his mouth are: I need a gun. Any gun. My buddy says: No. Dude asks why and he says they have the right to deny people the sale of firearms if they feel they may be a danger to themselves or other by not being fit to own them. So he tells the guy exactly the reason he's not selling him a gun. The dude stands there for a minute, just amazed he can't buy a gun, any gun. He then draws a breath and tells my buddy he's going to JAX north of town and they'll sell him one. Uh, seriously? Dude heads out the door and my buddy picks up the phone to call JAX. He full describes the guy so they can't miss him and tells him the story of why they should deny him the sale of a firearm. About 20min later he gets a phone call and the guy on the other end is laughing so hard he almost can't get the words out. Through his laughs he manages to get the fact that a description wasn't necessary out because the dude rolled in about 15min after the call saying, you guessed it: I need a gun. Any gun. You can't make this stuff up people! Not only did he tell my buddy the exact store he was headed to but he used the exact same opening line that got him so far at Garts even after he was told it was the very reason he wasn't sold a firearm.
So, that's my story of what NOT to say at a gun store.
