Hey - HEY! You two break it up!
No chit - purty shore ah saw some tongue action goin' on......<shudder>
That's-th some sick-th shit-th
You also ride scooters, so add dirty hippie and/or metrosexual to that list of pejorativesI think I'm the alleged shill, quisling, ashtray or whatever you wanna call me.
I have been at the gun counter at Academy when your typical trashy meth-head chick is browsing with her obviously "criminal" friend or boyfriend. Of course, she knows nothing about guns, she just hangs around while her thug friend points at the gun he wants and then pulls cash out of his back pocket and hands it to her. This is an obvious straw purchase scenario in which none of the employees have the nuts to say or do anything about it. Now, ya'll could say I'm stereo typing or discriminating, but I flat out don't care. If the same young lady showed up alone, asked intellegent questions and used money from her own pocket, I would have no problem with it but when the first question on the form says "Are you the actual purchaser of the firearm?", it blows me away when none of the employees do anything about it. They just personally witnessed the funds coming from another persons pocket. I appreciate your concern and hope you always emphasize question one on the form and let people know the penalties associated with violating it. Maybe your store policy should be changed to allow a limited number of guns per day. Who the hell really needs 3 Ars at once? - Not a hunter or typical law abiding citizen. Keep fighting the good fight and when in doubt, just don't do it. I'd rather lose my job over it than know that those guns will get into the wrong hands on my watch.
I will refuse to sell a gun to someone who comes in reeking of alcohol or marijuana, but that person would also have to lie in the 4473 which is a crime in itself.
Near scary straw purchase attempts happen more often than we would like. I actually have some pretty good (or bad, depending on how you look at it) stories...Dealers need to be ever vigilant, and err on the side of caution.
