Customers Rant

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

Maybe jiffy lube is more your calling. I have been in the "back guns" realm for about 2 years now and it blows my mind how the customer service is so much better(normally) at in a hunting atmosphere. No I have never pointed a loaded gun at anyone, not have I had something transferred. On a different note, to quote an insurance commercial "I bet you are the smartest raccoon you know". Huh?

Uh, no. Generally, our customers are great. There's a handful of morons and it's usually new people to the shop and/or new to guns. Besides, I'm an EMT in "the real world".

We had someone today ask how the "gun works"...he just got his first gun... I've had a loaded .308 pointed at my chest all the while the guy yelling at me going, "Kid, do you really think I'm stupid enough to bring in a loaded firearm and point it at you?! I've been doing this all my life!" I ejected the round and threw him out of the store. A co-worker had a loaded .22mag pointed at first his stomach, then his chest, and then slightly higher in his ribs which had the trigger pulled three times on a loaded gun. Thank god it was striking light and didn't discharge the gun. Had another guy tell his wife, "This is where you shoot a guy, honey!" and point it at another co-worker's head and pull the trigger. He's lucky it wasn't me and I wasn't there or else he'd have a bad day. Had another guy remove a .38SP from his coat and walk in with his finger on the trigger pointed forward.

My paranoia has kept me alive this long from both civilian law enforcement and military. I won't be stopping it any time soon. So when it comes to guns, it pisses me off when people are stupid with them. I don't mean thinking wrong features or something, I mean not knowing where the gun is, how it works, the proper safe handling, or where you got it from. So, yes, I stand by what I say.

Oh, and it turns out the guy got it from some place in Missouri *sigh* Turns out, yes, it did come here, from some place completely different than he was "thinking".
