I have had some brand new guns on the table without ANY handling marks, scratches etc and I am damn particular about all of my guns, so I place a large and easy to read sign (in English of course) right on top of the gun, asking folks to PLEASE get permission prior to picking it up and handling it. I have had numerous folks pick up the sign, read it and then toss it somewhere else on the table and proceed to pick up the gun and open the action etc. I NEVER pick up someone else's guns without first asking for permission even if there is no such sign. If I get the OK to check out someone else's gun then go back to the same table later and want to pick up the gun AGAIN, I'll still ask AGAIN. A lot of dealers/table holders will actually thank the potential customer for just asking permission to handle the gun.

even if its a simple "May I?" *point*
