What not to wear when purchasing a gun

[newracer]

Show up with one in our shop and I will question you about it. If you use or have a medical MJ card, you don't get a firearm.

You seem to be forgetting that a person CANNOT be a habitual user of marijuana and possess a fire arm, nor be under the influence. We've thrown people out before for smelling like pot. It's against the law for them to just be in the store.

I understand the law and am not forgetting anything. Wearing a shirt with with a plant on it is not against the law and has no bearing on the sale. If the person answers the questions correctly the can purchase a firearm.

Guess we've never met the same kind of "drunks". Most of my father's side of the family were alcoholics with the exception of him and a few others. Very few fit the profile you listed.

Likewise for pot heads. One of them runs / owns multiple business here and down south. The drunks i knew were for the most part docile until they started tossing back a few. Then their manhood took over, usually not for the best. So we can agree to disagree. Po Tah Toe, poTot Toe

I think the question of whether or not pot smokers should have that taken into account might be for a different thread.

This thread is titled, "What not to wear when making a firearm purchase."

Can you wear a tshirt with a pot leaf on it? Sure.

I think the question is, should a tshirt with a pot leaf be worn while making a firearm purchase? In today's frenzied finger-pointing climate, it may not be the best impression to make to walk into a gun store wearing any sort of "I heart cannabis" symbols. In the same token, it would not make the best impression to wear any sort of "statement" items; shirts decorated with dead-terrorist targets, gang symbols, racist-toned or otherwise- it all adds to the impression that gun owners are unbalanced and anti-social, "dangerous" types. Is it a little overboard? Sure it is. Are the anti-gun folks just dying to point out anything relating to guns that might prove them right? Of course they are.

Like it or not, we're lumped into a "we vs. they" struggle. We represent the gun owners and Pro 2A enthusiasts. Tell me you don't flinch a little bit at the news when there's been a shooting or something gun-related that nibbles away at the credibility we have. Why would you want to give the other side any more reason to grab a cell phone picture and post it on their blog with a caption that supports their opinion?

Well put.
I recall right after MMJ went through we had customers try to use their red card for I.D.
Stoooopid!

The 4473 does not ask if you are "Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, shooting an AR with a 30 round mag. It says "Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance."

"or" is the word here.. Who here isn't addicted to caffeine.. a stimulant? Alcohol is a depressant so anyone wearing a beer tshirt or a starbucks tshirt should be just as suspect as a marijuana shirt

UNLAWFUL is the key word. Caffeine is a legal substance.

How about a straight jacket?

A pair of cuffs?

A bloody shirt?

Pantyhose over your head?

Man folks up in arms ..............

If I owned the gun shop.knowing it was my ass on the line.......

I'd not sell to them either.. cuz well lets face it 99.9% of the time someone who wears pot related clothing .. smokes on the regular ...
sure I guess out of 1000 of the pot related shirt wearing folk 1 doesn't smoke... but if he was dumb enough to wear that shirt while buying a gun .... maybe he's too stupid to own one.
