Re: gun laws
They are looking at the Glocks, and when they ask to see them the owner politely obliges.
Then one of these kids says "Oh man, you should get that one, if I had that I'd be like pop-pop n*****, pop-pop", while making the "pointing gun" motion with his hand.
So at this point I'm thinking, is he really going to sell them a gun?; but I left anyway before they asked to buy anything.
Would you have sold them one? I keep wondering if they did buy one.

Re: gun laws
You know what's funny, I was in the gun shop a few months back perusing their wears. These three kids came in, early 20s, dressed in long white sleeveless t-shirts, long shorts hung around their bums, and giant sneakers.
They are looking at the Glocks, and when they ask to see them the owner politely obliges.
Then one of these kids says "Oh man, you should get that one, if I had that I'd be like pop-pop n*****, pop-pop", while making the "pointing gun" motion with his hand.

I have a conscience I'm sure owning a gun shop requires removal of it.

Re: gun laws
With the current state of affairs gun shops are generally very careful; of course you get the odd one or two who might turn a blind eye to some things, but for the most part they are careful. I witnessed someone attempt a straw purchase (someone buying a gun for someone else) a few weeks ago, the owner politely told the two people to **** off as he wasn't selling car stereos.

Re: gun laws
You were not there, so you really cannot comment on what I did or didn't see 
When they make a bag that acts like a tardis I'll buy one. Maybe baggy pants would help, but I was just too scared to ask them where they bought theirs. Maybe I'll go back when I'm tooled up.
You actually said I was frightened. I was not quoting you word for word.
We never did get to hear about all those valid points you were making, or as I suggest you just dropped in to throw your toys around because someone has a hobby that goes against your gun control wishes?

Re: About Guns, Not Gun Laws
Perhaps this guy was paranoid too?
Oviedo police think two people may have been followed home and robbed after they left a local gun range. The man and his friend were robbed in the driveway of a home on Lullwater Drive in the Kingsbridge West subdivision on Sunday.

I have a big range bag full of handguns and ammo, yet no way to defend myself should one of them decide to simply take it!
It was a mixed group of 3 whites and one (I presume) hispanic. I was referring to their attire
cautious about advertising the fact I have unloaded guns .......obviously a very large range bag. It was obvious it was full too as it weighs a lot with all the guns and 450 rounds of ammo.
Please show me where I threw my toys about again you're attempting to divert attention from your points
