    Default Big R and trigger locks.

    Went into Big R today to look at a pistol. The guy took the gun out of the case and set it down and walked away. I looked at it for a couple of seconds and then asked if he could take off the trigger lock so I could see how it really felt. He said he couldn't it was store policy. I looked at it a few more minutes and then asked again why he couldn't. He said again it was store policy. I go well it's a little hard to get the feel for a gun with the trigger lock in place. He goes on to tell me that someone at another Big R was looking at a gun pulled a round out of his pocket, chambered it and shot himself in the head in the store. Anyone hear about this?

    Not about saving lives. You must actually BUY the gun you want to kill yourself with. The gun that gets taken by the police for evidence will be paid for first damn it.

    Some lady rented a gun at the Cherry Creek range and shot herself a couple of years ago.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    I remember that it just makes me mad that I have to drive 20 miles now to handle some goodies. Hopefully Franktown Firearms will see an increase in sales and be able to carry a larger selection.

    Umm. With a revolver you could just load a round pull the hanger just short of luck back and drop it. The lock us kinda pointless there.

    Didn't she shoot her son first? Or was that at Firing Line?
