Gun store follies

[Cross-X]

A story well told, from glocktalk.com:

This happened in our gun store a few years ago. Two of our regular customers were in the store. Both of these LOVE to haggle and had brought pistols they were interested in trading. They start talking to each other and learn that each has a pistol that the other wants.

Normally, I'm not too big on customers doing trades with each other in my store (it cuts me out of the loop on something I could make money on and it's a bit of gray area legally since a firearm is being transferred in my store without background checks being done), but I didn't say anything since I knew it would be fun to watch. This is how the conversation went:

Customer #1: "Are you looking to sell that pistol?"
Customer #2: "Yeah. You looking to sell yours?"
Customer #1: "Yep. Want to trade?"
Customer #2: "Maybe. What did you have in mind?"
Customer #1: "I dunno. Maybe your gun plus $100 for my gun?"
Customer #2: "What? More like YOUR gun plus $100 for my gun!"
Customer #1: "What? MY gun plus $100 for that piece of ****?!!!"
Customer #2: "Piece of ****? This is worth twice what that boat anchor is worth!"
Customer #1: "Well, **** you."
Customer #2: "Well, **** YOU!"
Customer #1: "**** YOU!!!!"
Customer #2: "**** YOU!!!!!!!!"

Both of these guys were 70 years old and I had to get between them before an old man fight erupted in the middle of the store.

Sounds like a scene from Grumpy Old Men. God I loved those movies.

in the end did they just swap and move on with thier lives.

One captain once said to me "You know Mainers are probably the most argumentative people I've ever met."

I said: "What the hell do you mean, Argumentative!???"

hehhehe

I don't know how the story ends, but, being that they were both old folks, they may well have done their trade a couple weeks later, with no recollection of their gun shop tiff. [lol]
