Test firing a firearm before purchase

[BuffCyclist]

Surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but I would need them to prove to me that the ammo they were shooting is FACTORY loaded ammo. NO RELOADS!

What would prevent someone from intentionally reloading some hot rounds with an intention of having a KB in someone else's pistol, injuring themselves and then attempting to get money out of you with a law suit?

In my opinion, I would need cash in my hand before they could test fire it. If ANYTHING happened to the firearm, they would not get their cash back and it would now be their problem.

If they were simply wanting to shoot, say, .40S&W for the first time in MY pistol and then decide its too much recoil, absolutely not.

They could have the same law suit if you sold them the gun then they immediately blew it up. Whether they test it and get injured, or get injured right after the sale it is pretty close to the same in the eyes of the law. So I don't buy this argument.

That said, I don't think it is unreasonable to make sure a buyer is serious and has funds on hand before letting them shoot. Nor do I think it unreasonable to make them buy the gun if they drop or ding it on accident. So I agree to those parts.

. Sue me HA HA Ammo KB talk to the mfg, Reloads, only if i did them . I've offered folks to road test what i would call an exceptional item. Just because they were on the fence. You know one of those "You really need to shoot this it's that nice"
