Gotta be careful how I word this...
Took a PT job last year at *********** . I sell firearms. It's not a career, just some pt work for some extra scratch each week 18-20 hours.......My co workers are great. I still do my "real" gig that I've done for thirty years....but I'm kicked back, semi-retired.
sooooooooooooooooooo
Not sure how to describe this customer other than in a complete panic, obviously knows nothing about firearms other than the constant lies spewed out on the stupid box. I have a pretty good idea how he voted, but not gonna say, you can guess.
Him: "I need to buy a gun."
Me: Sure sir, may I see your permit?
Him: "I don't have a permit."
Me: Sorry sir I can not sell you a firearm.
Him: Looking around at the other 75 people in line (this was late March before we limited in store customers to 50). "I need to buy a gun" (well, THAT'S an instant shut down there..."need", like he's gonna go home and auger one into his wife's forehead or something) , "what about the gun show loop hole?" I heard a few snickers and chuckles from the people standing behind him in line. I looked at him incredulously, but decided to roll with it....
me: looking to my left and to my right to check out where my leads were... none in sight. good I told him: Sorry sir we ended the gun show loop hole last Tuesday.
More laughter from others in line. Customer is getting pissed.
Him: "What about a hunting license?"
Me: We sell those downstairs sir.
Him: "Can I buy a gun if I get a hunting license?"
me: Sorry sir, no.
Him. "Can I buy a license for a gun"
Me: Sorry sir, we just sold the last one at ten am this morning, not sure when we'll be getting more in.
Crowd is now laughing at this clown.
Him: totally pissed now, getting LOUD>>>> "This is total bullshit, so tell my how do I get a permit?"
Me: First you find a Firearm safety instructor and take a safety course, they vary in price from about $85 to $125, depending on where you go locally. After taking that course and passing it, take your cert and go to your local PD. Apply for a firearm permit, either for concealed carry or long gun...Fork over some more money, get fingerprinted and the bkgnd check starts, wait a few months and when the local permit comes in go to the State fork over more $$$$$ and get the State permit....the whole process takes 4-5 months.... Oh, wait, I just forgot, the State isn't doing bkgnd checks now for new permits. You're S.O.L.
Him: Irate... veins popping in his forehead.... yelling now... "I Can't Believe this!!!!! Who's responsible for this?"
Me: Little wink and a smile "Who'd ya vote for sir"?
I walk over to the ticket counter and pull the string....... "NEEEEXXXXXTTTTTT"
Everyone in line is clapping.
