Me and a co worker went to academy in Kenner Louisiana and we went to the gun section to see if they had ammo. At the count there is this guy wanting to buy a gun couldn't hardly speak English apparently already did his application, anyways he is looking at a .380 a Taurus I believe so the salesman locks the slide back and pulls the clip and hands it to him. Now for ten minutes this guy is tryin to figure out how release the slide and they still sold him the gun. Would you have sold it to him if you were the salesman?

Nope
Its the ones like that who end up hurting themselves or deciding they don't need it and sell/give to someone who doesn't need it. -
Yep. There ain't a law against buying something you don't know how to use. What would have been his justification? That he didnt see the man fit to own a gun? Not exactly his call.Comment

They are salesmen. They will sell it to you no matter how much knowledge you have of guns. You never know, maybe that guy went to a gun class when he left there(unlikely but maybe)
. But on the other hand, that guy may not have grown up around guns like most of us. So he may not know anything about them. But he does have the right to learn(if he's a citizen).

It kinda is up too him. I use to sell guns at academy and they told me if I ever felt uncomfortable selling a gun to someone then don't do it. When it comes down too it if something was too happen its not just the store it's your butt too that can get in some serious trouble. Unfortunately some dont take the job seriously and will sell too anyone.Originally posted by jacobneskora View PostComment

Right and I agree with you! I was just throwing this out there cause a couple of older gentleman had a field day with this and had no care of the guys presence! On a funnier note there was a guy lookin for a 30 round clip for his 10/22 and kept thanking Obama for lack of ammo and gun accesories lol!Originally posted by C'mereDeer View PostThey are salesmen.

I would put that on the sales person not doing their job to point out the features and the safety aspects. Maybe he was clear on a revolvers operation but not a pistol. I used to sell guns and I would make sure they knew how to operate them before purchasing so they wouldn't get hurt or accidently hurt anyone else. If they offered any clue that they could not handle the weapon or were total idiots then I wouldn't sell them the gun.

Every day on these forums we're talking about people staying out of our way when it comes to owning guns and gun rights, and some of y'all are debating whether this guy should be 'allowed' to buy a gun? Nowhere is there a law saying he's not allowed to have the chance to defend himself because he's not familiar with pistols.
Come on...hypocrisy much?Comment

That being said, I would not cry if a basic gun safety class could be required for gun purchases...or proof one has rudimentary knowledge thereof, rather than having to depend on "how comfortable" a salesperson feels about the prospective buyer.
OK, I'm ready
