Anyone have some good chuckles or Oh. My. Goodness. Experiencs? Talking about pricing shenanigans in a nother thread reminded me of a couple amusing things I have seen and 1 or 2 that have made me walk backwards from the store very carefully.
One is what I shared there 3 guys 45 minutes till closing speaking rather loudly while handing off a Henry to one another taking turns tring to Terminator 2 spin cycle the action. Just made me shake my head.
The other was more concerning for me. Like a wait, what? Why? Moment. Brother and I are browsing a shop back in VA that has wide range of products. They cater to a couple local PDs and the competitive market and have a goodly number interesting used guns and NFA stuff. Typically little on the high side.
I kneel down to look more closely at a 9x23 (Springfield V series custom gun if I recall) when my ear took notice of two shop guys talking from behind the counter with another fellow on my side of the counter. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed his blue jean covered knees. So I turned my head to finish looking at the shelf I was interested in. Since I was squatting/kneeling my head was right level with his thigh about 6 feet away.
When I fully turned I saw he was seated on a stool left leg bent foot on the bottom ring with a cowboy thigh holster containing a big barrel pointing at my face. He didn't notice, to enthralled in a rip roaring conversation with the employees. He was one of those really animated types shaking and hands moving leg tapping. Anyway, he swiveled the chair and it sure looked like an older Colt SAA or clone. The patina was just right and to this day I don't know if some guy muzzled me with an older SA revolver with no transfer bar safety, firing pin hammer down on a full chamber or not.
I might be overthinking the old guns, I mean guys wore em on horses while riding back in the day but if this fella had turned and the hammer hit the chair back of the stool would my brains have been all over the store lol
